Enriching

So lucky that this book crossed my mind and I ended up buying it and listening to it. I think it infuses one with the biggest teachings of life passed by honourable Dr Kalam. I wish it could be narrated by a South Indian Narrator since it would help me connect more.

Awesome

I have read the book and listening in audible felt more nice. The background music made it good but felt sometimes unnecessary.
