27th July, 2016 was the first death anniversary of Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam. In his poems “Phoenix of Life” he writes
“Life is a phoenix, can rise from the ashes
Presents a future at challenging situtations
This altar of ashes is fountain of new life
War was thrusted, martyrdom shined
Memories of soldiers ignite beauties of life
Phoenix is a metaphor of life in its action
Ashes remind us to celebrate greatness of those lives”
The nation celebrated the greatness of this son of Mother India by laying the foundation stone for a national memorial for the 'Missile man' of India and a life size statue in Rameswaram. By remembering him, we all should rededicate ourselves for the mission, which was dear to him.
