Orientation From Abdul Kalam-Part III

Like Bombay, just as I myself was about to have my first exposure to a mega city like New York. Jalaluddin and Samsuddin were self-reliant, positive, optimistic men who

Undertook their work with the assurance of success. It is

From these two persons that I drew the core creative power of my mind. My sentiments could not be contained, and I could feel the mist of tears in my eyes. Then, Jalaluddin

Said, “Azad, we have always loved you, and we believe in

You. We shall always be proud of you”. The intensity and

The purity of their faith in my capabilities broke my last defences, and tears welled up in my eyes.
