### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Book Review: Wings of Fire
*by M***T on 31 May 2016*

‘If you want to leave your footprints on the sands of time, do not drag your feet…’ Wings of Fire do manage to fill your heart with positivity and hope, scoring high on the simplicity and motivational quotient. It is a ‘straight from the heart’ offering from the country’s most loved Head of the State embodying his learning and wisdom from the years and years of hard work, failure and struggle. Multi facets of Mr. Kalam’s personality and ideology will surely increase your respect for him multifold…Respect!!! ‘Wings of Fire’ hailed as the autobiography of Mr. Abdul Kalam is actually a bit more than that. In addition to provide a deep narration to the events of Kalam’s life, it advocates and portrays his vision and guidance to the youth of India encompassing his discourse on the inspirational leadership and collaborative people management. The chronicles of his stimulating journey emitting brighter rays of success through the darker clouds of failures and multiple shades of disappointments implants the sapling of hope to the ailing heart. ‘Forget the failure and search instead for the true purpose of your existence…surrender yourself to the will of God’, is what is the gist of Kalam’s advise to the young blood – an important point being put forward is ‘Believe in yourself and also on HIS inscrutable ways!!!’ The book takes off brilliantly with the backdrop of Kalam’s village in Rameshwaram providing glimpse of the time and the people shaping his childhood. It’s really interesting to read about the religious harmony and cohesiveness amongst people during those days. Consider this, “The high priest of Rameswaram temple, Pakshi Lakshmana Sastry, was a very close friend of my father’s. One of the most vivid memories of my early childhood is of the two men, each in his traditional attire, discussing spiritual matters.” The anecdotes which Kalam gives to reflect his early childhood days truly forms one of the best part of the book revealing to the readers focal point of all the humility and virtue he possessed. It is rich in motivational texture filled with nuggets of positive thinking citing examples from his own life. There were times when the disappointment and failures bogged down even someone like Kalam exposing him to risk of breaking down and falling back. Just when, he was about to collapse, someone or the other was there by his side to instill confidence and fighting spirit in him which propelled and launched him with greater intensity towards the success. Another great thing which the book does is that it brings forth the contribution of innumerable silent souls who toil night and day to put India on the high pedestal in the map of world powers. These unsung heroes spend a major portion of their lives placing at times the families and relations at the back burner for the achievement of the sole objective of making India independent and comparable of the world’s powerful nations. Kalam, in all humility, pays ode to all those hands which came together for the launch of SLV 3, creation of RCI, Prithvi, Agni etc. The assorted pictures from his life encompassing various facets and moods add multifold to the charm of reading. The book reveals multi-dimensional personality of Mr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam – Kalam, the Scholar; Kalam, the Scientist; Kalam, the Manager; Kalam, the Leader; Kalam – the Learner and not to forget…Kalam, the Poet. The last one did actually sweep me off completely for Mr. President did came across as an eloquent and contemplating poet. The below mentioned powerful verses will vouch my statement… For all your days prepare And meet them ever alike When you are the anvil, bear When you are the hammer, strike While the book has indeed a lot of positives to offer to the reader, at some junctures it become a bit more scientific in representation which might break the flow of a normal reader. I mean while detailing on the professional stint of Kalam, the books transform like a manual on evolution map of India on the nuclear map enriched with scientific terminology and milestone…something which might disconnect the reader from the overall context. Further, some more insights on the personal life of Mr. Kalam and his people would surely have done wonders. Read this book for rekindling your dreams and adding fuel to their wings to let them expand and fly in the world of possibilities. Rating: 3.5/5 Read The Complete Review Here >>> [...]
