Made In India

Made In India To live and die in a world of a teacher And the taught was his solitary wish. Plundered every treasury in all his books Lavishly enriching his soul forever thirsty. An aeronautical engineer Lost being a pilot Voted as President To rule over every pilot. Son of a boatman distributing newspapers Simple living with half a dozen clothing In the looming closets Of his erstwhile Presidential chair. Sleep slept over to follow his dream To make India a super world power The Missile Man shot far above the clouds The world saluted Kalam who was Made In India.

Andrea dear, thanks you so much! A P J Kalam is of the rarest breed and this is just a small tribute to this humble man. Love, Balveen
