MIssile man of India passes away !!!

While I am still on writing and studying about this subjects, a great soul, Dr. A.P.J.Abdul Kalam has passed away. He was and is still my inspiration not only as a good scientist but also as a good human being.

 He spent four decades as a scientist and science administrator, mainly at the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and was intimately involved in India's civilian space program and military missile development efforts

• His Twitter Account

I would like to quote some of his views on different subjects. And if possible go through his books. I am sure you will find use of his wisdom.

"We can design any missile: Abdul Kalam  "

"You have to dream before your dreams can come true."

" 'Dream is not that which you see while sleeping it is something that does not let you sleep.'"

"Where there is righteousness in the heart, there is beauty in the character. Where there is beauty in the character, there is harmony in the home. When there is harmony in the home, there is order in the Nation. When there is order in the Nation, there is peace in the World."

You can read his autobiography which is widely acclaimed as a very inspirational book. Here is the link.

  

                                                                     
Happy reading.

First Post

In the coming few days, I will start posting about Introductory and regular stuff about Rockets and Missiles.
I am little bit confused about how would the structure of blog be and I am choosing it to make it undisciplined.
Feel free to point out mistakes.

I will post random updates related to missiles and rockets in between as soon as I come to know about 'em.

NOTE : If by mistake reference isn't provided, it's purely unintentional. Please bring it into attention in comment section. It will be duly referred.
