'Funny Guy! Are You Doing Well?'

Abstract

Twenty seventh July, 2015. A cruel day for India. Death snatched away one of the brightest stars of the country from among his students at IIM, Shillong, while he was addressing them. Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam-career scientist, reluctant politician, and finally the eleventh President of India-felt a pain in his heart, collapsed on to the floor, and was rushed to a nearby hospital. All the efforts of the doctors attending him proved futile and APJ, as he was fondly called, breathed his last. Doctors called it cardiac arrest.
