Describe the morning routine of Kalam’s father.

Answer:    In the autobiographical essay Strong Roots, Abdul Kalam described his father as a religious, wise and simple man. We are told how he lived a disciplined life. Kalam remembered that his father used to start his day at 4 a.m by reading namaz before dawn. After the namaz, he used to walk down o a small coconut grove they owned, about four miles away from their house. Then he used to return home with about a dozen coconuts tied together thrown over his shoulder. He only then used to take his breakfast. His father maintained that routine even when he was in his late sixties.
