Summary<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

“My Childhood” is an autobiographical account written by Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, one of the world’s greatest scientists. It embodies the themes of harmony and prejudice, tradition and change. Through a first-hand narrative provided by Dr Kalam, this prose highlights and gives us an idea of the life and society that existed in the southern part of India during his childhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abdul Kalam was born in Rameshwaram, India, to a middle-class Muslim family. He grew up with three brothers and a sister. His father was a generous and knowledgeable man. His mother was a gracious lady. They lived on Mosque Street in their ancestral home. His father led a humble life yet supplied for his children’s needs. His parents were not well-educated or wealthy, but they were generous and compassionate. Every day, many strangers ate with the family. His parents instilled in him the values of honesty and self-discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When World War II began in 1939, Kalam was only eight years old. Tamarind seeds were in high demand at the time. Abdul used to gather and sell such seeds at the market. Shamsuddin, his cousin, distributed newspapers and hired him as a helper. This is how he got his first wage. His parents instilled in him a belief in goodness and generosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All religions were honoured by the Kalam family. The Hindu festivities were attended by them. At bedtime, his mother and grandmother would tell the children stories from the Ramayana and the Prophet’s life. Kalam belonged to a group of three people. Ramanandha Sastry is the son of Aravindam and Sivaprakasan, a high priest at the Rameshwaram temple. They came from various religious backgrounds and were brought up in diverse ways. They were never aware of their differences. As they grew older, they pursued various occupations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new teacher arrived in Abdul’s fifth-grade class at Rameshwaram Elementary School. He wore a cap to distinguish himself as a Muslim. The teacher could not take a Hindu Priest’s son sitting close to a Muslim boy, therefore Kalam always sat in the front row, near Ramanandha Sastry. Kalam was requested to take a seat on the far end of the backbench. Both buddies were devastated by the situation and informed their parents after school. Ramanandha’s father contacted the instructor and warned him against instilling communal hatred and class inequity in the minds of children. He told the instructor that she had the option of apologising or leaving the school and city. The teacher expressed regret and promised to do better in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abdul was once invited to supper at the home of Abdul’s science teacher. Because he believed in religious segregation, his wife refused to serve Kalam supper in her kitchen. The teacher served him food and sat next to him to eat. From behind the closed door, his wife studied Abdul’s behaviour and found no changes. The teacher invited him back to join them the following weekend after dinner. This time, the wife prepared dinner in the kitchen herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After WWII ended, Kalam begged his father for permission to study in Ramanathapuram. Kalam’s father understood he needed to grow up, so he gave him permission. He advised his apprehensive wife that they should show their affection for their children but not force their opinions on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Additional\/extra questions and answers\/solutions<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

1. What is Abdul Kalam’s description of his home?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer: <\/strong>Abdul Kalam’s house was built in the middle of the nineteenth century, according to him. It was a fairly large pucca house made of limestone and brick and located on Rameswaram’s Mosque street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. What was the name of Abdul Kalam\u201ds father? Whose quotation did he use when Kalam expressed his desire to leave Rameswaram for further studies?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer: <\/strong>The name of Abdul Kalam\u2019s father was Jainulabdeen Kalam. When Kalam expressed his desire to leave Rameswaram for further studies, he quoted Khalil Gibran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. In Rameswaram during the annual Shri Sita Rama Kalyanam ceremony what used to happen?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer: <\/strong>Kalam’s family would organise boats with a special platform for bringing Lord idols from the temple to the marriage venue, which was located in the middle of the Rama Tirtha pond, during the yearly Shri Sita Rama Kalyanam celebration in Rameswaram. Kalam’s house was adjacent to this pond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Why did A.P.J. Abdul Kalam refer to his childhood as “secure”?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer<\/strong>: Because he had loving and caring parents, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam described his childhood as secure. He had everything he needed, including food, clothing, medicine, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Who gave Kalam the idea to catch newspaper bundles, and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer<\/strong>: Kalam was taught to catch newspaper bundles by his cousin, Samsuddin. Trains did not stop at Rameshwaram due to the outbreak of the Second World War. As a result, newspapers were packed and hurled from a moving train on the Rameswaram-Dhanuskodi road. Kalam stepped in when Samsuddin needed a helping hand catching the bundles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. How did the Second World War provide Kalam with the opportunity to earn his first wage?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer<\/strong>: Kalam’s cousin worked as a journalist. The train station at Rameshwaram has been closed. As a result, the newspapers were bundled and tossed off a speeding train. Kalam aided his cousin in the capture of the bundles. He was compensated for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. What personality traits did Abdul Kalam get from his parents?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer<\/strong>: Abdul Kalam inherited his father’s honesty and self-discipline, as well as his mother’s trust in goodness and generosity. He, like his parents, held all religions in high regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. During the annual Shri Sita Ram Kalayanam Ceremony, what did Abdul Kalam’s family do?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer<\/strong>: Abdul Kalam’s family prepared a boat with a special platform to transport Lord Shri Sita Ram’s idols from the temple to the wedding venues, which were located in the centre of a pond known as Rama Tirtha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. What did the new elementary school teacher do? Do you believe the new teacher deserved to be treated this way? Why do you think so?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer<\/strong>: A Hindu priest’s son sitting with a Muslim boy was too much for the new teacher. As a result, he assigned the narrator to the last bench. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, he was deserving of the abuse he received. He was infecting young brains with the poison of communal intolerance, which was a terrible crime. A teacher who does such a cruel act deserves to be shamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. What was the difference in the science teacher’s and his wife’s attitudes regarding A.P.J. Abdul Kalam?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer<\/strong>: Despite the fact that his science teacher was an orthodox Hindu, he broke through societal barriers by mixing with people of other faiths and communities. He welcomed Abdul to his home, prepared meals for him, and even sat and ate with him. His wife, on the other hand, was a staunch conservative who refused to serve Abdul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. What does Abdul Kalam have to say about his mother?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer<\/strong>: Abdul Kalam describes his mother as an excellent wife and gentlewoman. His mother taught him to be nice and kind. Every day, she used to feed a large number of foreigners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. What were Abdul Kalam’s “first wages”? What was he thinking at the time?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer<\/strong>: The Second World War began in 1939 when Kalam was just 8 years old. Tamarind seeds were in extremely high demand. Abdul used to collect and sell those seeds in the market. Shamsuddin, his cousin, was a newspaper distributor who hired him to assist him. The train refused to halt at Rameshwaram, so the newspapers were tossed off the moving train. To collect them, Abdul was hired by his cousin. He received his first pay in this manner. He felt really happy and liberated when he received his first wages. This accomplishment enhanced his self-esteem and brought him joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

13. What happened at Rameshwaram Elementary School when a new teacher was assigned to the class?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer<\/strong>: Ramanandha Sastry donned a sacred thread that identified him as a Brahmin, while Kalam wore a cap. When the new instructor arrived, he couldn’t stand the sight of a Hindu priest’s kid sitting next to a Muslim student. He motioned for Kalam to take a seat on the rear bench. Ramanandha was saddened by this. Abdul began sitting in the last row, but this made a negative influence on him. Both children told their parents about the occurrence. As a result, the instructor was chastised and scolded for teaching youngsters communalism and hatred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4. How did Abdul Kalam earn his first wages?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer: <\/strong>The train halt at Rameswaram was cancelled due to the declaration of emergency during World War II. Newspapers were thrown from the moving train.

5. Had he earned any money before that? In what way?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer: <\/strong>Yes, Abdul Kalam had earned money before that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When World War II broke out, there was a surge in demand for tamarind seeds. Abdul Kalam gathered these seeds and sold them to a provision store. He received one anna for each day’s collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

II. 1. How does the author describe:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(i) his father<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer: <\/strong>Abdul Kalam describes his father, Jainulabdeen, as having little formal education and little wealth, but great innate wisdom and true generosity of spirit. His father was self-disciplined, honest, and austere, avoiding all unnecessary comforts and luxuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ii) his mother<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer: <\/strong>Abdul Kalam describes his mother, Ashiamma, as a generous woman who was an excellent helpmate to his father. Every day, she fed a large number of people, including many strangers. She was kind-hearted and believed in goodness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iii) himself?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer: <\/strong>Abdul Kalam describes himself as a short boy with average looks who was born to tall and good looking parents. He inherited honesty and self-discipline from his father; and faith in goodness and deep kindness from his mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. What characteristics does he say he inherited from his parents?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer: <\/strong>In the words of Abdul Kalam, he inherited honesty and self-discipline from his father and deep kindness and faith in goodness from his mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

III. 1. “On the whole, the small society of Rameswaram was very rigid in terms of the segregation of different social groups.” says the author.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(i) Which social groups does he mention? Were these groups easily identifiable? (for example, by the way they dressed)?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer: <\/strong>Hindus and Muslims are two of the social groups mentioned by Kalam. Yes, these groups were easily distinguished because Kalam, a Muslim, wore a cap and his Hindu friend Ramanadha wore the sacred thread, each displaying his religion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ii) Were they aware only of their differences or did they also naturally share friendships and experiences?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Think of the bedtime stories in Kalam’s house; of who his friends were; and of what used to take place in the pond near his house.)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer:<\/strong> Rameswaram’s residents were aware of their communal differences, but they naturally shared friendships and experiences. During a religious Hindu festival, Kalam’s family arranged for the boats used to transport the idols. Even in Kalam’s home, children were told stories from both the Prophet’s life and the Ramayana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iii) The author speaks both of people who were very aware of the differences among them and those who tried to bridge these differences? Can you identify such people in the text?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer: <\/strong>The new teacher and Sivasubramania Iyer’s wife were both acutely aware of their differences. The new teacher arrived at Kalam’s school and separated him from his Hindu friend, but he is changed by the temple priest, Lakshmana Sastry’s strong opinions. Sivasubramania Iyer’s wife was initially offended by the idea of a Muslim boy dining in her kitchen, but she, too, came around and served him. <\/strong>Lakshmana Sastry and Sivasubramania Iyer were two people who tried to bridge such divides by being open-minded and reforming the rigidly orthodox believers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iv) Narrate two incidents that show how differences can be created, and also how they can be resolved. How can people change their attitudes?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer: <\/strong>Two incidents from the text that show how differences can be created are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i. A new teacher arrived at Kalam’s school and directed him to the last bench, deeming him unfit to sit on the same bench as the priest’s son. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ii. Sivasubramanium Iyer\u2019s wife refused to serve Kalam a meal in her kitchen because Abdul Kalam was Muslim and did not share the same religious beliefs as her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two incidents from the text that show how differences can be resolved are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i. Lakshmana Sastry chastised the teacher for sowing the seeds of communal intolerance among children and demanded that he apologise or leave the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ii. Sivasubramanium Iyer remained polite to Kalam and even invited him back to dinner, served him with his own hands, and sat beside him to eat. Sivasubramanium’s wife too was gradually transformed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People can improve their attitudes by acknowledging that they have a problem and deciding to take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. (i) Why did Abdul Kalam want to leave Rameswaram?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer: <\/strong>Abdul Kalam wanted to leave Rameswaram and relocate to the district headquarters at Ramanathapuram in order to fulfil his desire to pursue his higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ii) What did his father say to this?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer: <\/strong>His father stated that he knew Kalam needed to be alone in order to grow, much like how a seagull flies across the sun alone and without a nest. In a quote from Khalil Gibran, he told Kalam’s mother that their children were not theirs, but the result of life’s longing for itself. They had arrived through their parents, but not through them. They could be showered with affection, but their thoughts would be completely their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iii) What do you think his words mean? Why do you think he spoke those words?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer: <\/strong>Abdul Kalam’s father meant that in order to grow and develop as an individual, Kalam would have to step out of his father’s shadow and leave the comforts of his home to make his way in the world. He consoled his wife by quoting Gibran, implying that just because they had given birth to their children did not mean the children belonged to them. Each child was an individual in his or her own right, developing and growing with his or her own ideas. When Kalam decided to leave home and pursue further education, he said these words to console himself and his wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. How does Abdul Kalam describe his parents and what are the characteristics he inherited from them?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. How did Abdul Kalam earn his first wages as a child?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer<\/strong>: During the Second World War, there was a sudden demand for tamarind seeds in the market. Abdul Kalam used to collect the seeds and sell them to a provision shop on Mosque Street, earning the princely sum of one anna as his first wages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. What did Abdul Kalam’s family do during the annual Shri Sita Rama Kalyanam ceremony?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer<\/strong>: During the annual Shri Sita Rama Kalyanam ceremony, Abdul Kalam’s family used to arrange boats with a special platform for carrying idols of the Lord from the temple to the marriage site, situated in the middle of the pond called Rama Tirtha near their house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. ‘I felt very sad, and so did Ramanandha Sastry.’ Why did the boys feel very sad?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer<\/strong>: The boys felt very sad because the new teacher at school could not tolerate a Hindu priest’s son (Ramanadha Sastry) sitting with a Muslim boy (Abdul Kalam) and asked Abdul Kalam to go and sit on the back bench. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Who was Lakshmana Sastry? How could he reform the young new teacher?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer<\/strong>: Lakshmana Sastry was the father of Abdul Kalam’s friend Ramanandha Sastry, and the high priest of the Rameswaram temple. When the new teacher segregated the students, Lakshmana Sastry summoned the teacher and in the presence of the boys, told him bluntly not to spread the poison of social inequality and communal intolerance, asking him to either apologise or quit. The strong conviction conveyed by Lakshmana Sastry ultimately reformed the young teacher. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Why does Abdul Kalam describe his science teacher as a rebel?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer<\/strong>: Abdul Kalam describes his science teacher Sivasubramania Iyer as a rebel because though an orthodox Brahmin with a conservative wife, he did his best to break social barriers so that people from varying backgrounds could mingle easily. He invited Abdul Kalam, a Muslim boy, home for a meal against his wife’s wishes in order to overcome orthodox mindsets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer<\/strong>: I am now eighty-two years of age. Like him, my dog, even today, begins with a walk every morning. I savour the sight of the new sun, the benign light in the sky before the sun appears, the cool breeze, and sweet call of the birds. I understand how this short time of the day binds us to nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diary entry<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Suppose you have been separated from your close friend by your teacher. You feel very bad about it. Now, make a diary entry of your feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer<\/strong>: Date: March 14<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, our teacher decided to separate me from my close friend in class. It really hit me harder than I expected. For as long as I can remember, we’ve been inseparable, sharing jokes, helping each other out with difficult topics, and just making school a lot more bearable. Sitting next to them felt like a small bubble of joy amidst the endless lectures and assignments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But now, with this sudden change, I feel a bit lost. The classroom seems more daunting, and the silence on the side where my friend used to sit echoes in a way that’s hard to ignore. I understand the reason behind our teacher’s decision; maybe we were getting a bit too chatty, or perhaps it’s just an attempt to make us interact with others. Nonetheless, it’s tough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can’t help but feel a mixture of sadness and frustration. There’s this heavy feeling in my chest when I glance over to where my friend now sits, surrounded by new faces. It’s strange how such a small change can feel so significant, how the distance of a few desks can seem like miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite this, I know we’ll adjust. We’ll find new ways to communicate and support each other, even if it’s not as convenient as before. After school, we shared a conversation about it, trying to find the humour in our situation, making plans on how we can still work on projects together and have our usual chats. It’s going to be a challenge, but one we’re ready to face together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This experience, though unwelcome, might just be a lesson in disguise. It’s pushing us out of our comfort zone, forcing us to interact with others and maybe, just maybe, we’ll end up thanking our teacher for this decision in the future.
