As
usual,I was in the office and city Gorakhpur,whomsoever I met ,he was
sad and depressed over Kalam Saab's leaving for abode.The condolence
meetings were held,and surprisingly,Kalaam Saab's words that" on his death,
more work is needed to be done for Nation" surprised all ;of course a
new beginning and great service hidden in the words for the
nation.Really Salute to this great son of Bharat who did everything to
the service of Nation.A boy who started his career as a newspaper
salesman could reach to the highest post of the Nation and that too out
of severe poverty ,more so in the hearts of all Bhartiya,who feel a
great vacuum created because of his departure.A true hard worker seen in
him remind me of what poet Longfellow has written ,"the height by the
great man reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight,but while
their companions slept ,they were toiling upward in the night------",so
was the case with this great and pious soul.I have not seen any person
of this stature" whose sudden demise and death might have made everyone
so dejected and depressed in the country.Other death carry with them partiality or
bring comment somewhere,but this great man was above all "isms".A great
scientist and true Bharatiya who refuted Pakistan's offer of serving or
sharing information with that country in the name of religion,holy
book,or racial discrimination.A person who was only for nation has left
everything for the nation is the rarest example in the Golden History of
Bharat.so gentle and polite he was,when he visited this area on the
completion of 100years in college,he insisted to change the high and
big chair to preside ,but of the same size and that too simple chairs
were brought,only than the programme could be conducted.A missile man
who ,need not to say,brought Bharat on the sound footing,It is to his
credit that we are safe and secure and stand along with other nation
equipped with this capability.A man with science sparkling out of his
personality brought the scientific temperament to one and all.Not only
so,he reposed faith in the worship-places,both temple and mosque meant
for the same path with different routes perceived.He did not hesitate to
comment on madrasa education which he felt needed science and modern
education.An interesting example comes from his colleague or rather
subordinate whose children insisted to visit fair as a mark of birthday
celebration,if I am not wrong,asked him for early leave from the office
,Kalaam saab oked,but when he saw him engrossed and engaged seriously in
some scientific pursuits,he said nothing.But when the colleague saw his
watch ,it was already 8pm,so sad and dejected he reached his home,when
called for children,he found that Kalaam Saab took the children to fair
on time.Each and every person learnt something out of what was lived and
said by him.Today's' news also made us obliged to him whatever he had ,he donated to the Trust.He was a saint too.The reason for international awards are not understood ,but man of such a huge personality needs more recognition in the war-torn areas of the world ,where he stands so clear with scientific temperament that religion is after science.Such enlightenment is very much needed today.I too feel grateful to his words ,when he roars that "those
whose target is not high,they have to rethink,for the highest aim takes
us to highest height in life".To sum up his life shall take
100years,but today we can refute a foreigner's words who once said in
reference to another great man,Generation shall be surprised to believe
whether such a man lived on the earth,"and I say today with all
conviction and reposing faith in/ from my friends and all,"Yes,another
greatest soul lived and walked in Bharat and that is----Great Kalaam
Saab,My deep condolences to the departed soul.JaiHind.
