Dr. Abdul kalam with his aide Srijan Pal Sing on the last day of his life-27/7/2015.
Strange coincidence though it was two great leaders died
Twenty Seventh day of a month- May Nehruji entered
And July Doctor Kalam reached heavenly abodes
Two of the tallest leaders served the holy land!
A lover of Karnatic music Kalam was loved
My Tamil translation of Thyagayya’s gems five proud
Listened personally sung by great artists at night
Ten at Madurai at the artists’ humble homes- a delight!
A noble first citizen of Bharath – our homeland
Moved so freely with all in simple style- made wonderland
Lives ever in the minds of all- on this sad day
We pay our respects to him in all humility.

Envius Thoughts 
Great Abdul Kalam Ji, Great pandit Nehru Ji. Both of them are known for their peace-loving nature. Though Kalam Ji was a scientist he had been teaching till his last breath. Nehru Ji also delivered a peace-talk at UNO. When I was in 9th Standard, his speech ” The world has become advanced in Science. War at the present time will mean an end to the world ” was in English lesson. This has touched my heart and I found love is the only key to open all the doors of darkness. About kalam Ji, We are proud enough that he led a simple life. It is great that he was attracted to TYAGARAJA PANCHARATNA KIRTIS. Your noble touch in the lines of your poem would keep their memories ALIVE in our lives.
