About this listen

'The story of my life has become intertwined with the story of this country. And somewhere along the way, as I met a million children across this land, I too learnt from a million minds. This book was not written to only tell my story. I want every young reader to think that this book is his or her story too.'

A.P.J. Abdul Kalam has been one of the most iconic figures of Independent India. A scientist, leader, thinker, teacher and writer, he achieved remarkable success in various fields. Yet, what endeared him to so many was his dedication to the idea of a developed India, his simple and direct way of interacting with people and his deep love for his fellowmen.

In My Life Dr Kalam writes his life story starting from his days growing up at Rameswaram; about working on India's space and missile programmes; his years as the 11th president of India; and about his life thereafter. Full of anecdotes that demonstrate the importance of hard work, commitment,courage and innovative thinking, this autobiography is a wonderful introduction to a remarkable life. Simply written, My Life will inspire listeners of all ages.

Brilliant one.. chasing the dreams and passion

Brilliant one.. chasing the dreams and passion with out forgetting the past and our teachers and mentors.

it's ignites some of cells of yours which is mentally to be supporting poor and kids. It can even transform it in to a great patriotic..

undoubtedly a great motivation for a common man like me.

Nice experience with clear explanations but should be more bass voice as voice is too sweet you may doze off
