Mantra

APJ Abdul Kalam has inspired a lot of people. Not just because he was a scientist or the President of a country but because he was a wonderful person. I will remember him as my inspiration. 

Saumya Tandon

What should be said about him, missile man, scientist, writer, most loved president, patriot who dreamt of making India a developed nation by 2020. He always maintained that he wanted to be remembered as a 'Teacher'. So I would say Salaam to Kalam, our teacher and guiding light. You will live on in our hearts with gratitude. To sir with love, RIP.

He was one gem of a person. He was very positive and energetic. If your moral is down then his speech can easily boost you up. I have received an award and also had dinner with him. He was truly an inspiration for youth. This was the biggest lost to our country.

Giaa Manek

I am extremely sad to hear about the passing of a true patriot and an inspiration to the youth. A great loss of a wonderful soul. May his beautiful soul rest in peace.

Hiten Tejwani

He was a great man. It is surely a big loss for the country. May his soul rest in peace.

Barkha Singh

He was a true example of a self made man. Who gave back so much to not only India but to humanity as a whole. He is no longer with us in person. But he will always be alive in the heart of the nation and of many people the world over, as a true source of inspiration that anything is possible if you have a dream and work for it.
