Shows the honesty & integrity of our Ex-President!
Do you think that Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam is slightly overrated in India?
Vijayaraj Subramanian
No! He never has been overrated.
This real life incident happened in 2014 .
Mr. Abdul Kalam was attending an event organised by Sowbhagya Enterprises (well recognized producer of wet grinders) in Erode, at the conclusion of event Mr. Kalam was gifted with a wet grinder.
Now, though, he wanted one for his house, Mr. Kalam refused to accept it as a gift rather he wrote out a cheque of Rs. 4850 in favor of Sowbhagya Enterprises.
The company & the managing director were very honoured by the gesture and instead of encashing the cheque they framed it & kept in their office.
Two months later, they had a call from Mr. Kalam's office saying that the cheque needs to be deposited soon and if not the grinder would be returned.
Having no other option the company got hold of the photocopy of the cheque and they have sent it for clearance.
A true leader & a man of greatness who inspired thousands of youngsters in India through his simplicity, inspirational speech & hard work.
A humble human being who dedicated his entire life to the country and mankind.
“In simple words Mr. Kalam, is a legend like no other.”
