People's President Archives- 2

Rare Images of People's President Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam's Family

Kamal Nisha (centre) is Kalam's sister-in-law, wife of his elder brother. "I have known Kalam since I was a young girl. We were relatives before I married his elder brother," she says.

When she married into the Kalam household he was already a scientist at ISRO. "He was always very serious, even then," she recalls with a smile.

Sabhita Meerasa (right) is another one of the President's nieces. "When he came here my son gave him a poem on him; he liked it very much. He signed it for my son and took a photocopy of it to Delhi."

"Our uncle has never celebrated his birthday in Rashtrapati Bhavan," she says. "This will be his third birthday after he became President; again he won't be there on October 15. He will be in Gujarat. I pray for him every day and will pray more on his birthday."

                       Rare Images of People's President Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam's Family

We are welcomed by 88-year-old Muthu Meeran Labhai Maricar (second from left), the President's eldest brother. 

Maricar, clad in a traditional lungi and a genial air of familiarity, opens the door himself. 

"We are used to visitors," he says, nodding at a rickshaw man and his family who trail in behind us to see the 'President's brother.' 

Maricar asks all of us to sit. "This is a regular thing," he says, "This house has become a tourist spot after Kalam's rise to fame." 

"We are four brothers and one elder sister. One sister and two brothers are no more. I am the eldest and Kalam is the youngest," he says. "My elder son worked for the railways. He has now retired and settled down in Bangalore." 

Maricar has the option of staying with his famous brother in Delhi, but chooses not to. "I grow coconut trees, tamarind, drumstick. I have a small livestock farm. This is my town, my home. I am happy here".
