Respected Sir,
Instead of taking rest for two hours, during the transit time, Dr Abdul Kalam Sir has chosen to meet the youngsters like me to motivate them to do more hard work. This incident inspires us to do more hard work for the Nation. His silent actions like this, bring us more strength in our heart. I am amazed with his simplicity.
Always following the footsteps of Dr Abdul kalam

> Barely two hours left, I rang up to Balasubramanian (Kodambakkam 2020

> realised that Swamiji was running 220 educational institutions, benefitting
> more than one lakh children. In addition every day, he is feeding more than
> 15000 poor people. Dr Kalam realised since Swamiji was giving more, he was
> taking more happiness. In his exclusive messge, Dr Kalam advises the young
> people to 'give more and take more happiness'.
