My Life – an illustrated biography, is not a biography of
Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kamal but inspirational guide book for every child who aspire to
make something big in the society and for the mankind. The book is small guide
or better say a small book in which the entire life of Dr.Abdul Kalam is penned
down. The book began with the toiling journey covered by Kalam Sir for education
and then in masters, where his flaming mind was tested by various professors and
form there A NEW KAMAL was born after stepping out of college life to the real
life.
The book is written in a very lucid
way that it will make you stick to the last and would compel you to dig deeper
about Kalam Sir. The book displays various emotions, hardships he covered, his
dedication towards his work and towards motherland. It was written in the book
“ 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.” Yes, once you’re done with the
book you would find the magic of these words on your mind and the search of
real ME will begin within.
I cannot think of any other better
self help book when I completed reading My Life. Book mentioned about his
entire life keeping in mind what is to be reach the young minds and how they
can work on the sorts of goals they want to reach.
If you haven’t read ‘ Wings of Fire’
yet , you can definitely go for this book. The book was very inspiring and at
the end you’ll find yourself motivated. A must read book.
