A great man left us all today to embark on his new journey.
This day has shocked an entire nation and a million hearts cried for his soul.
I have had a crazy week. A 14 hour shift for a week had drenched all the energy out from my body, and I was trying to catch up with some sleep. The news had put my mind to never ending thoughts. A man that my father idolized had left the world behind and my dream of meeting him once in a lifetime had been shattered. The social media was swamped with the news and people were seen praying for his soul.
Why did I decide to pen this article today...
because,
He inspired me enough to sacrifice my sleep. He inspired me to go work towards my dreams. He inspired me to speak of honesty before I lied on hopes to someone. He inspired me to take care of a child and lead him to build a great nation. He preached humanity as the highest order and simplicity as the mantra to lead a true life. His presence was enough to create a sense of responsibility in the people around him. He defined punctuality and valued time for he knew that there is only enough time that we have got to full fill the purpose of our lives. He had a positive attitude towards bringing a true change. A revolution in the political system which would help the nation grow in the right direction. He believed that the youth of the nation is the true building block and creating a vision in them would breathe a fire to bring about the change that he dreamt of. He wanted to be remembered as a great teacher and his life has been nothing but a source of true knowledge. His fundamentals were simple and attracted a spark that ignited a million minds. He lived his life with integrity and ethics. He was a true leader and his followers are devoted.
Today I write this not for our loss but to try and keep the flame burning.
I hope we don't forget the cause that he lived for and make his dream of a better tomorrow come true.
He said that do not declare a public holiday on my loss but work an extra day if you can.
My father once told me that he is the greatest men he knew.
With all due respect,
Rest in Peace, Sir APJ Abdul Kalam !
