South Indian Dishes

Answer:      In Kalam’s childhood, though a great number of outsiders came every day to their house to dine with his family members, little Kalam used to eat with his mother Ashiamma. He used to sit on the floor of their Kitchen and his mother would place a banana leaf before him. On that leaf, his mother ladled rice, aromatic sambar, a variety of sharp, home-made pickle and a dollop of fresh coconut chutney. 

            Dr. Abdul Kalam thought that his childhood was secure because though he was born in a middle-class family and his father was an austere man having no inessential comforts and luxuries, little Kalam was provided all sorts of necessities in terms of food, medicine and clothing. He neither got emotional pressure nor was deprived of earthly pleasures.
