The question dr. kalam asked his father was why doesn’t he say this to the people who come to him for help and advice?
His father answered that whenever human beings find themselves alone, as a natural reaction they start looking for company. Whenever they are in trouble, they look for someone to help them. Whenever they reach an impasse, they look to someone to show them the way out. Every recurrent anguish, longing and desire finds its own special helper. For the people who come to him in distress, he is but go-between in their effort to propitiate demonic forces with prayers and offerings. This is not a correct approach and should never be followed. One must understand the difference between a fear-ridden vision of destiny and the vision that enables us to seek the enemy of fulfilment within ourselves.

Subject: letter for stopping sell of unhealthy food items in and around school.
Sir,
I beg to state that I am writing this letter to bring awareness on a serious issue. We can often see cases that students become sick by eating unhealthy food items. Food sellers come in around of school with unhealthy food items to attract students and make profits. But this food items have lack of nutritional value. Students and parents unaware of the fact allow their children to eat it. When they consume such food items for quite a long time it calls sickness, certain diseases and health problems. Students become obese and lose their tastes over healthy food. So, it is my humble request to publish an article on this serious issue and make school aware about the fact. School must stop allowing such food vendors nearby schools and save the life of school children. Students should be taught about choosing the healthy food item for their own health. Parents should provide home-made food for their children and make a healthy habit of not eating much outside.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Aritra Sengupta
