About the book

The virtual world we live in has given us the freedom and power to express everything without saying anything. The status messages we write on chat messengers and facebook are the manifestations of our inner voice which was waiting for all this time to be heard. Over the years based on numerous experiences, I have composed some of those messages and penned them down in this book. They are honest, blunt and straight from the heart. It's an attempt to bring them into existence in the physical world too.

Review

Hussain Haideri’s ‘Pixel Thoughts’ is a compilation of quotes based on his random observation of life.  Unlike other quote books that seem to recycle the same old boring flat quotes, this one features the author’s own words and ideas, which according to me is quite fresh. It is a quick breezy read and I finished it in a day even with so much going on. The idea behind the book is that it is something one can just pick up and put down quickly.  I found some of the quotes very sincere and relatable. The author’s take on life is quite noteworthy. He clearly sees life in a way most of us don’t. It has a total of 165 quotes, each with a hash tag to explain the context. 

Of course not all the quotes are good. Some are average and some just words. But those that inspire outweigh those that don’t. A few of the quotes remained with me well after the book had been closed. I think this is what Haideri intended; to be remembered through his words and he has done quite well I must say. I am glad I chose to read it.

Blurb

The students’ diligent teacher, the nation’s gifted scientist, the humble ‘People’s President’ - an indefinable name he is. Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. A man who dedicated his life and work to the betterment of a nation, and his time and energy to the billions of young minds he wished to ignite. He has left back dreams in everyone, and the undying inspiration to make those dreams come true.

A surfeit of contents has been interwoven to give this book a shape. To read through the pages will mean a journey through his life in entirety. Besides Kalam’s own speeches and quotes, it also contains literary tributes by scientists, academicians and students, the interviews of his family members, and a real-time anecdote of his interment ceremony at Rameswaram.

This isn’t just a tribute, but a world beyond it to be read, explored and discovered.

Review

Great personalities do not die; at least not in the actual sense. They live on in people’s memories and in their deeds. Such is the case with India’s beloved President Dr A.P.J Abdul Kalam. He dedicated his entire life for the betterment of the nation and continues to inspire thousands even in his absence just through his visions. His contribution to nuclear science earned him the nick name, ‘Missile Man of India’. He was part of several committees and headed many.

‘Pupil’s President Kalam,’ edited by Satyam Roychowdhary is a compilation of Kalam's own speeches and quotes; literary tributes by scientists, academicians and students; the interviews of his family members; and a real-time anecdote of his interment ceremony at Rameswaram. It is a richly detailed look at Kalam’s contributions and triumphs.

From being a newspaper delivery boy to a career scientist turned reluctant politician, Kalam’s life is an assortment of his dreams and fulfillment of the same. A deluge of information in the shape of this book provides a glimpse into the simple yet richly lived life of a man whom the world mourned at his demise. Written in simple language, the book is a storehouse of information and a must read for every Indian. Kalam saw a lot of promise in the young and the inexperienced. Reading this book would be like paying a small homage to his views and ideals.

‘Pupil’s President Kalam’ is an engrossing portrait that reveals Kalam’s unstoppable passion and remarkable achievements and is a kind of tribute to the great soul.
