Dr APJ Abdul kalam memorial

Dr APJ Abdul kalam

Born : 15-Oct-1931

Died : 27-July-2015

Our family visited Rameswaram for the first time, we did all the rituals, visited temple, pamban bridge etc. 

Also visited Dr APJ Abdul kalam memorial which was inaugurated on 27 July 2017.

Beautifully constructed and museum was filled with his photos, awards, certificates, his contributions for air force, army and our country.

When I have entered into the memorial, spontaneously shed tears. There were goosebumps while I was reading about him and his words. I couldn't control my tears rolling down on my cheeks. Such a legend he was. Have seen his last used slippers, shoe, suit etc. You wouldn't believe how could one being the president of our country would've used such kind of normal slippers and shoe. I have seen people who's show off even after little developed.

Walls were filled with his beautiful and motivational words along with his happy moments in the paint by the artists.

Memorial was surrounded by statues of kids, books, himself and also rocket.

I could feel how happy and how much trust he has over youngsters and students of our nation.

I do remember these words from him :

"when 14 year girl asked him for an autograph, he asked what's her aim?, for that she replied, she want to live in developed India. He told, it's him,us who can make this happen. Also he has mentioned India is neither under developed nor developing nation. It's highly developed nation."

"If you want to shine like a sun, you need to burn like a sun"

Also there were statues of him in many places where he had a speech for the students, and statues of commanders who were on securities when he was the president. There were many photos since his school, work place etc. 

Finally there was also a statue when he fell down while he had his last speech at shillong. 

Kindly request you all to visit Dr APJ Abdul kalam memorial in Rameswaram whenever you get a chance.
