Song of youth

Me and My Nation-India

As a young citizen of India,

armed with technology, knowledge and love for my nation,

I realize, small aim is a crime.

I will work and sweat for a great vision,

the vision of transforming India into a developed nation,

I am one of the citizens of the billion;

Only the vision will ignite the billion souls.

It has entered into me;

The ignited soul compared to any resource

is the most powerful resource

on the earth, above the earth and under the earth.

I will keep the lamp of knowledge burning

to achieve the vision - Developed India

I take this opportunity to thank my batch mates in training school BARC, in particular Mr. S. M. Basha, without him I could not have got a position in NRAMC. I thank all my well-wishers at my office and at my residence for their consistent effort to shape me. I would like to mention that I have used lot of Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam wordings.

Preface – purpose of the book objective

When I talked to some of association members about ‘what we can do for the residents’, they expressed ‘nothing to do’ (we did everything!) kind of expression. I felt this feeling ‘sense of satisfaction or sense of achievement’ prevents us from doing good work. I can put same thing in other words ‘we feel that we can not do any thing more or better’ yet another way of saying this is throwing the ball in others court ‘blaming the system, blaming the boss, blaming the politician etc’. I have written this document to express my views that there are many things we can do. There are many other reasons to write this document

I worked as secretary of the association for the past 5 months. In this time I wanted to do many things but I could do only very less I felt it is good at least to document whatever I wanted to do. When I was thinking about documentation many other things came to mind about national development and scientific thoughts. So I decided to record whatever comes to my mind, the result is this document. I prefer to call this document as ‘spray of thoughts’ created by random thinking. Essentially this is documentation of thought process given to public for the purpose of sharing ideas.

Biodata

I born in the year 1970 at Pondicherry, India. I finished B. E. Electronics and communication engineering in Mohamed Sathak Engineering College, Madurai Kamaraj University and M. E. in Applied Electronics from College of Engineering, Anna University in 1993. I worked as a lecturer for a year in Bharath engineering College and for two years in St. Peters Engineering at Chennai. Since 1997 I am working as Scientific Officer in Reactor Control Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai, India. I was holding the post of Secretary, Nilgiri Residence Association from May 2002 to September 2002(5 months).

In addition to fulfilling my basic responsibilities I am dreaming for better India (Still I have not digested the term ‘Developed India by 2020’) by involving myself in following activities

1. Transform many people to Abdulkalam (I believe I am transformed to Abdulkalam).

2. Divert appropriate people to politics.
