APJ Abdul Kalam (The Missile Man – The People’s President) is no more.
Genuine grief poured from all over the country, as soon as the news that the former Indian President was no more. For the first time in the recent years, the common man felt a loss of a politician as a personal loss. APJ Abdul Kalam had a huge fan following and a lot of admirers. It was his great achievements and his humble nature that the common people liked.
Kalam died doing what he loved doing – addressing the youth of the nation. He died while interacting with the students of IIM Shillong.
