K Rajendra from Hyderabad: Namaste Sir, I am calling from Andhra Pradesh. My name is K Rajendra and I am studying at Nallakota school, AP. Sir, I came to know that you are from middle class, them how did you become a scientist? I want to become a scientist like you.

Rahul Majumdar from Jammu:
I am Rahul Majumdar of JK public school, Jammu. Sir, my question to you is what is the secret behind your success?

Anubha: So, what's the secret behind your success, President Kalam?

President Kalam: First, you have to continuously apply the knowledge. Knowledge acquisition is one of the most important characterstics of a successful human being. Knowledge comes from parents, good friends, library, a good teacher and now Internet. The second one is sweat. Sweat means your hardwork. That is, hardwork and acquisition of knowledge, these are two primary qualities and they will lead you to what you want to achieve. Now, will you repeat what I am going to say? Repeat all of you: Dreams transforms into thoughts. Thoughts results into action. 

Anubha: President Kalam, we have two questions: One is from Gurvisha from Bluebells school, Delhi. Gurvisha, go ahead.

Gurvisha Ahuja, Delhi: Once being dubbed as the missile man of India, now that you are the President, do you still do research in this field?

President Kalam: You know, I was a professor before coming here. I was teaching at a southern university, Anna University. There, when I was in the teaching profession, we prepared a document, which is called India 2020. That outlines how to transform India into a developing nation. When I joined here, the purpose is whether I can mark it to my Parliament, to my government. That is number one. Number two, I had a research student, Father George, I was guiding him for a PhD and that research guiding is still going on, I got a student. Till he becomes a PhD, I will be in touch with science and technology.

Anubha: There is another student, Bhubhaneshwari wants to ask a question. Bhubhaneshwari, go ahead.

Bhubhaneshwari: Did you ever have any lab accident when you were working as a scientist?
