nature. His family gave an equal amount of respect to all the religions.
Furthermore, there was participation from his family in Hindu festivals.

Kalam’s upbringing came to an end
when he received permission to go Ramanathapuram for further studies after the
end of Second World War. His father and mother certainly loved. However, this
love didn’t mean they forced their decisions on Kalam.
Character In My Childhood
1. Kalam’s parents
Jainulabdeen and Ashiarruna,
Kalam's parents, were both attractive and tall. Despite their limited means,
they were both exceedingly giving and fed many strangers in addition to their
own relatives. Adhering to the principles of integrity and self-control, they
lived a modest lifestyle devoid of unnecessary conveniences or extravagances.
But Kalam's father saw to it that
everyone's fundamental needs were met. Being a liberal, he didn't think it was
appropriate to force his beliefs on his kids. He participated completely in the
celebration of Hindu holidays such as the Kalyanam ceremony of Shri Sita Rama,
while having a secular outlook. For her husband, Kalam's mother was the perfect
support. She was a highly kind woman who believed in goodness.
2. APJ Abdul Kalam
Despite having an unremarkable
appearance, Abdul Kalam possessed numerous admirable traits when he was young.
He held his parents in the highest regard and devotion. His mother instilled in
him a strong belief in goodness and profound generosity, while his father
instilled in him the qualities of self-control and honesty. Kalam was a bright,
industrious youngster. When tamarind seeds were in demand, he gathered them and
sold them to make a modest but substantial profit.
Extremely self-assured, he gave any
task given to him his whole attention. During the Second World War, when the
train halt at Rameswaram was suspended, he assisted his cousin in catching
bundles from the moving trains. He was a perceptive youngster who gained
important life lessons from his experiences. He was taught early in life that
caste-based discrimination is poison and should not be tolerated. Being
progressive as well, Kalam decided to leave his village to pursue his studies
at the appropriate moment.
My Childhood Important Questions and Answers
1. How did
Sivasubramania react to his wife’s behaviour when she refused
to serve Kalam (a Muslim boy) in her kitchen?
Sivasubramania was mentally
prepared for such behaviour from his conservative wife. So, without getting
angry or perturbed, he served Kalam with his own hands and sat beside him to
eat his meal.
2. Why did Sivasubramania invite Kalam for dinner again the
next weekend?
Kalam was visibly upset by
Sivasubramania Iyer’s wife’s refusal to serve him food in her kitchen. This
must have pained Iyer. So, in order to make amends and to ensure that Kalam
overcame his disappointment and hurt, Sivasubramania Iyer invited Kalam to
another dinner the following weekend. During the intervening time, Iyer must
have wanted to speak with his wife on the issue. lyer wanted Kalam to brace up
for such obstacles if he wanted to change the system.
3. While talking of segregation of the different social groups
which social group
does Kalam talk about? Were these groups easily identifiable?
Kalam talks about Muslims when
mentioning the segregation of different social groups. These groups were easily
identifiable by the distinct cap that they wore just as the Brahmins wore the
sacred thread. This cap marked the group as a Muslim.
4. What thoughts crossed Kalam’s mind when he was having food
at Sivasubramania’s
house for the first time?
Kalam noticed that Sivasubramania’s
conservative wife was watching him from behind the kitchen door while he was
having food. At this time he wondered whether she observed any difference in
the way a Muslim ate rice, drank water or cleaned the floor after the meal.
5. What did the Indians feel when the nation’s Independence was
in full sight?
Indians were filled with
unprecedented optimism when India’s independence was in full sight at the end
of the Second World War. Gandhiji’s declaration that Indians would build their
own India made everyone hopeful.
