“Death is a clown having no sense about the
scene.” renowned Malayalam writer MT Vasudevan Nair’s character says in one of
his novels.The demise of Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam reminds
me of this words. I am deeply saddened by his death and all I could manage was tears rolling down from my cheeks at the departure of a beautiful mind.I was never felt so sad about anybody’s death, even of my grand parents
who were the closest family members of mine who had left the world already. Dr.Kalam was the brightest star in the horizon of modern India who ignited millions of
minds with his child-like curiosity,simplicity and a wealth of knowledge.
Death is perhaps the only truth(or ultimate one at that) that none can avoid or outlive despite
our glorious scientific advancement, none could find anything closer to defeat
death and none will ever. It is a reality and we all are walking towards to
that reality in each day of our life. And I am sure death is not the end of a
life; it is the disappearance of our physical body and not the soul that would
go back to its eternal abode leaving the temporary one here on earth. Still as
a human being who is hold in the limitations of physical body, I cannot help but mourn about
the demise of loved ones and people of impeccable quality and integrity like Dr.Kalam.
I do not know Dr. Kalam personally and I never have
seen him in person though he is someone I dearly remembers and someone I really
would have liked to meet in person. I had deep love and respect for Kalam and in his demise I feel like somebody
close to my heart has been gone away and it pains me to think that I would
never see or hear him in person, an irreparable loss to humanity and planet
earth. I will always miss him like
millions of others around the world.
What makes him so precious?It is not his success or achievements that make him a
great soul but his values and principles in life, the fact that he remained a
simple and honest person despite all his material achievements. And it was not
easy for a boy from a humble beginning to become the most inspiring personality
of modern India. He was an inspiration to millions of souls and would enlighten
the generations to come with his inspiring personality and actions.
