MEETING Dr. APJ ABDUL KALAM



The Zeniths met the then serving President of India, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam at his residence, Rashtrapati Bhawan in 2011. The Zeniths were granted a couple of minutes to meet the ‘People’s President’ who was above all, humble, extremely intelligent & a teacher par-excellence. The meeting, which was supposed take place only for a couple of minutes, extended up to nearly an hour as the President was thoroughly impressed with the Zeniths after his interactions with them. The Zeniths displayed sheer determination to meet with the President in the face of their upcoming examinations, and took back with them inspiration & knowledge from one of the most celebrated intellect in India. The biggest take-away for the participants was that dreams must drive thoughts & thoughts must fuel actions. Without this happening, dreams amount to nothing. He also made the Zeniths appreciate the key role that a good mentor plays in shaping lives with harmony & peace. If you have a mentor, a guru in life who is teaching you about life like a Zenith, then you are blessed!
