The former president of India, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam breathed his last on Monday, July 27, 2015 in a hospital of Shillong. The legendary “Missile Man of India” contributed significantly in areas like launch vehicle technology as well as ballistic missile. The 84 years old great scientist had been on a visit to Shillong for delivering lectures of IIM (Indian Institute of Management). It was at that very place that he collapsed at about 7 pm and at once hospitalized in a private hospital which was located in close proximity. However, sadly enough, he left this world there, causing a great loss to the nation.
National Mourning of 7 days is declared by Indian Govt. on his death. Twitter is also low and this is how people are paying tribute to the great man:
1
Dr. Kalam enjoyed being with people; people & youngsters adored him. He loved students & spent his final moments among them.
