wings of fire summary hindi

Mai ek gahra kuwa hun is zameen par beshumaar ladke ladkiyon ke liye ki unki pyas bujhata rahu. Uski bepanah rahmat usi tarah zarre zarre par barasti hai jaise kuwa sabki pyas bujhata hai.itni si kahani hai meri. Jainulabddin aur Ashiamma ke b�te ki kahaani. Us ladke ki kahani jo akhbaare bechkarapne bhai ki madad karta tha, us shagird ki kahani jiski parvarish shiv subramanya ayyar aur anaa durayi soloman ne ki, us vidhyarthi ki kahani jise pandulemaster ne taleem di, em jee ke menon aur professor sarabhai ne ingeeniyar ki pahchaan di, jo nakamiyo aur mushkilo me palkar sayinsdaan bana aur us rahnuma ki kahani jiske sath chalne wale beshumar kabil aur hunarmand logon ki teem thi.
Meri kahani mere sath khatm ho jaayegi kyonki duniyavai maayno mai mere pas koi punji nahi hai, maine kuch hasil nahi kiya,jama nahi kiya, mere pas kuchh nahi aur koi nahi hai mera na beta na beti na parivar mai dusro ke liye misaal nahi banna chahta lekin shyad kuchh padne walo ko prenrna mile ki antim sukh ruh aur atma ki taskeen hai khuda ki rahmat unki varasat hai. Mere par dada avul, mere dada fakeir aur mere valid jainulabddin ka khandani silsila abdul kalaam par khatm ho jayega lekin khuda ki rahmat kabhi khatm nahi hogi kyonki wo amar hai, lafaani hai.
Mai saher rameshwram ke ek middle class tamil khanadaan me paida hua. mere abba jainulabddin ke paas naa taaleem thi naa doulat lekin in majbooriyon ke baavjood ek danaayi thi unke paas ,ek housla tha aur meri maajaisi madadagaar thi ashiammma aur unki kayi aulaado me ek mai bhi tha buland kaamin maa baap ka ek chota sa kadwala maamuli shakl surat wala ladka. Apne pushtaini makaan me rahte they ham jo kabhi beesvi sadi me bana tha. Kaafi bada aur vasil makaan tha, rameshwaram ki masjid steeet me.Mere abba har tarah ke aisho araam se door rahte they magar zarooriyaat ki tamaam cheeze muyassar thi.Sach to ye hai ki mera bachpan bada mahfooz tha dimaagi tour par bhi aur zazbaati tour par bhi.Materially aur emotionally.
Rameshwaram ka mashhoor shiv mandir hamare ghar se sirf das minat ki doori par tha. Hamare ilaake me zayada abaadi musalmaano ki thi phir bhi kafi hindu gharaane they jo bade iteefaak se pados me rahte they. Hamaare ilaake me ek badi puraani masjid thi jahan mere abba mujhe har sham namaaz padane ke liye le jaaya karte they.
Rameshwram mandir ke bade purohit bakhsi lakshman shashtri mere abba ke pakke dost they. Apne bachpan ke aanki huyi yaado me ek yaad yah bhi thi ki apni apni rivayati libaaso me baithe huyewo dono kaise ruhaani maslo par der der tak baate karte rahte they.
Mere abba mushkil se mushkil ruhaani maamlo ko bhi tamil ki aam zabaan me bayaan kar liya karte they. Ek baar mujse kaha tha �jab aafat aaye to aafat ki vajah samjhne ki koshish karo, mushkle hamesha khud ko parakhne ka mouka deti hai�
Maine hamesha apni saayins aur technology me abba ke usloo par chalne ki koshish ki hai. Mai is baat par yakeen rakhta hun ki hamse upar bhi ek alaa takaat hai, ek mahaan Shakti hai jo hame musibat, mayusi aur nakamiyo se nikaal kar sachhaayi ke mukaam tak pahuchaati hai.
Mai kareeb cheh baras ka tha jab abba ne ek lakdi ki kasti banaane ka faisla kiya jisme wo yatriyon ko rameshwaram se dhanushkoti ka doura kara sake. Le jaaye aur wapas le aaye.We samundar ke sahil par lakdiya bichhakar kashti ka kaam kiya karte they ek aur hamare rishtedaar ke sath ahmad jalaaludin, bad me unka nikaah meri aapaa johraa ke sath hua. Ahmad jalaludin halanki mujhse pandarah saal bade they phir bhi hamaari dosti aapas me jam gayi thi. Ham dono hi sham lambi sair par nikal jaya karte they. Masjid gali se nikalkar hamara pahla padaav shiv mandir hua karta tha, jiske gird ham utni hi sradha se parikarma karte they jitni sradha se bahar se aaye huye yaatri. Jalaludin jyada pad likh nahi sake unke ghar ki halaat ki vajah se lekin mai jis zamaane ki baat kar raha hun, un dino hamare ilaake me sirf ek wahi shaksh tha jo angreji likhna janta tha. Jalaludin hamesha taalifyafta aur pade lkhe logo ke bare me baate karte they. Saayins ki izaad, medisin aur us wakt ke litrechar ka jikr kiya karte they. Aur aur shaksh jisne bachpan me mujhe bahut muddafik kiya wo mera cousin tha, mera chachera bhai shamshudin aur uske paas rameshwaram me akhbaaro ka theka tha aur sab kaam akele hi kiya karta tha.
Har subah akhbaar rameshwaram relway steshan par train se pahuchta tha. San 1939 me dusri aalamgir jung shuru hui, the second world war, us wakt mai aath saal ka tha. Hindustaan ko ehtiyaadi fouzo ke sath shaamil hona pada aur ek imarjansi jaise halaat paida ho gaye they. Sirf pahli durghatna ye huyi ki rameshwaram steshan par train ka rukna Kensal kar diya gaya aur akhbaaro ka gathha ab rameshwaram aur dhanush koti ke beech se guzarne wali sadak par Chalti train se fenk diya jata. Shamshudin ko mazbooran ek madadgaar rakna pada jo akhbaaro ke gathhe sadak se jama kar sake, wo mouka mujhe mila aur shamshudin meri pahl aamdani ki vajah bana. Har bachha jo paida hota hai wo kuchh samaaji aur arthik halaat se zaroor basharmaan hota hai aur kuchh apne zazbaati mahoul se bhi aur usi tarah uski tabiyat hoti hai. Mujhme dayanatdaari aur self displin apne abba se varaasat me mila tha aur maa se achhayi par yakeen karna aur rahamdili lekin jalaludin aur shamshudin vajah se jo asar mujh par pada use mera bachpan hi mahaz alag nahi hua balki aayindaa zindgi par bhi uska bahut bada asar pada. Phir jung khatm ho gayi aur hindustaan ki azaadi bilkul yakeeni ho gayi. Maine abba se rameshwaram chhodne ki izaazat chaahi.Mai distric hedkwaterr ramnathpuram jaakar padna chahta tha. Shamshudin aur jalaludin mere sath ramnathpuram tak gaye, mujhe swarts high school me dakhil karaane ke liye. Na jaane kyo wo naya maahoul mujhe raas nahi aaya. Ramnathpuram bada mashhoor saher tha aur kareeb 50 hazaar ki abadi thi lekin rameshwaram ka sukoon aur itminaan kahi nahi tha.Ghar bahut yaad ata tha aur ghar loutne ka koi mouka mai choddta nahi tha.
Swarts high school me dakhile ke baad ek pandrah salaa ladke ke tamaam shouk jo ho sakte they, mere andar jag uthe. Mere teacher anna doraayi solomn behtareen rahbar they, guide us noujawaan ke liye jiske saamne zindgi ki beshumar mumkinaat khulne wali thi. Ramnathpuram ke us arsa e kayaam me unse mera rishta ustaad shagird ya guru shishya se bhi aage nikal gaya. Ayya doraayi kaha karte they�zindgi kaamyaab hone aur nateeze paane ke liye teen cheezo par kaboo pana bahut zaroori hai, khwahish, yakeen aur umeed.�Ayaa doraayi jo baad me reverent ho gayekaha karte they� isse pahle ki mai chahu kuchh ho jaye, usse pahle mere andar uski poori shiddat se khwahish ho aur yakeen ho ki wo hoga.� Mai apni zindgi se agar misaal du to mujhe bachpan se hi asmaan ke israar aur parindo ki parvaaz hamesha hairan karti thi, fesinat karti thi. Samudar me kunjo aur bagulo ko unchi udaane lagata dekhta tha to udne ko jee chahta tha.
Mai ek sada sa gaaon ka ladka to tha magar mujhe yakeen tha ki ek din mai un kunjo ki tarah buland udaan lagakar bulandi par pahuchuga. Aur hakeekat ye hai ki rameshwaram se udne wala mai pahla ladka tha.
Shwarts school me taleem hasil karte karte mere andar khud etmaadi bas chuki thi aur mujhe yakeen tha mai zaroor kamyaabi hasil karunga, mai taleem age zari rakhunga, usme koi dusra khyaal nahi tha. San 1950 me mai inter mediate padne ke liye St. josef collage trichee me dakhil ho gya. Jab B.S.C degree karne ke liye maine St. josef collage me admission liya to higher education ke mane sirf itne hi janta tha, ye nahi janta tha ki higher education ke liye kuchh aur bhi ho sakta hai, na ye janta tha ki science padke future ke liye aur kya haasil ho sakta hai. B.S.C. pas karne ke baad hi jaan paya ki physics mera subject nahi tha, apne khwab ko poora karne ke liye mujhe engineering me jana chahiye tha magar pata nahi kyo kuchh logo ka aisa khyal hai ki science aadmi ko khuda se mulkar kar deti hai lekin mere liye to science etmaad, vishwas aur ruhaani taskeen ki vajah rahi hai.
Kisi tarah mai MIT yani madras engineering and technology ke umeedwaaro ki list me to aa gaya lekin uska daakhila bahut mahanga tha kam se kam 1000 rupye ki zaroorat thi aur mere abba ke paas itne paise nahi they. Us wakt meri akka, meri aapa johra ne apne sone ke kade aur chain bechkar meri fees ka intezaam kya. Uski umeed aur yakeen dekhkar mai paseej gaya. MIT me sabse zyada maza aaya, waha do hawayi jahaaz rakhe dekhkar jo udaan se bari kar diye gaye they, ek ajeeb sa khinchaav mahsoos hota tha. Aur jab baki ladke hostel chale jate they, mai ghanta, ded ghanta unke paas baitha rahta tha. First year mukkamal hone ke baad jab mujhe apne zyada khasusi mazmoon chunne they to maine fouran aeronautical engineering ka chunaav kiya. MIT ki taaleem ke douran mujhe teen teachers ne bahut muddsar kiya. Prof. k.a.v. mendelin, prof. sponder, prof. narsimharaav. Prof. sponder technical aero dynamic sikhaate they. Mechanical engineering me dakhile se pahle hi maine unse salaah li thi. Unhone mujhe samjhaya tha ki� mustakbil ka faisla karne se pahle mustakbil ki mumkinaat ke bare me nahi sochna chahiye balki sochna chahiye ek achhi buniyaad ke liye aur apne rujhaan aur rishtiyaat ke bare me ki unme kitni shiddat hai, aptitude aur inspiration me kitni intensity hai. Mai khud bhi hone wale engineer student se ye kahna chahta hun ki jab we apne specialization ka chunaav kare to dekhna hoga ki unme kitna shouk hai kitna utsaah aur lagan ha us shove me jane ke liye. Prof. k.a.v. mendelin ne mujhe aero structure design sikhaya aur uska tanziya bhi, vishleshan aur analysis bhi. We bade khushdil aur dost teacher they aur har saal koi na koi naya tareeka, naya nazariya lekar aate they. Prof. narsinhraav methematian they, we aero daynamics ki theory sikhaya karte they. Unki claas me shamil hokar mujhe mathematical physics baaki tamaam subjects se zayada achha lagne laga.
MIT se mai benglore ke Hindustan aeronautical limited HAL me batour trainee dakhil ho gyaa. HAL se jab mai aeronotical engineering me graduate banker nikla to zindgi ne do mouke mere saamne khade kar diye. Dono meri parvaaz ke derina khwaab ko poore kar sakte they. Ek mouka tha airforce ka dusra ministry of defence me directorates of technical development and production ka, maine dono me arzi bhej di aur baawakt dono se interview ka bulava aa gya. Air force ke liye mujhe dehradoon bulaya gaya tha aur defence ke liye delhi. Mere dono mukam do hazaar kilometer ke faasle par they aur ye pahla mouka tha mera apne vaseeh aur viraat vatan ko dekhne ka. Khidki par baitha mai is desh ki sarjamin ko paavn tale se bahta hua dekh kar hairan tha ki uttar ki taraf safar karte huye ek hi mulk ka landscape kaise badal jata hai. Mai ek hafta delhi me thahra. Defense ministry ka interview diya, interview achha
hua tha wahan se ma dekhradoon gaya air force selection board ke interview ke liye. Pachhis ummedwaro me mai nave number par aya mera dil baith gaya, bahut maayus hua aur kayi din tak afsos raha ki air force me jaane ka mouka mere haath se nikal gyaa. Mai rishikesh chala gya,dil pe ye bojh lekar ki aane wale din bade sakht honge.
Ganga me snaan kiya aur phir chalta hua paas ki pahadi me shivanand ashram tak pahuch gaya. Swami shivanad se bhent hyui dekhne me bilkul goutam budhh lagte they. Safed doodhiya dhoti aur paaon me lakdi ki khadaaun.Unki bachho si masoom muskaan aur sadaadili dekhkar bahut prbhavit huwa. Maine bataaye unhe ki kaise indian air force me bharti hone se rah gaya aur meri kitni shaded khwahish thi aasmaano me udne ki, parvaaz karne ki. Wo muskura diye aur bole�khwahish agar dilo jaan se nikli ho to wo pavitr hoti hai aur usme agar shiddat ho to usme kamaal ki ek electro magnetic energy hoti hai, ek barki maknati si taakat hoti hai. Dimaag jab sota hai to wo energy raat ki khamoshi me bahar nikal jaati hai aur subah kaaynaat, brhmaand sitaaro ki gati raftaar ko apne sath samet kar dimaag me vapas lout aati hai. Isliye jo socha hai uski srishti avashy hai wo bakhati hoga tum vishwas karo is ajali bandhan par is vachan par ki sooraj phir loutega, bahaar phr se aayegi. Mai delhi lout aaya, defence me apne interview ka nateeza daryaft kiya javaab me mujhe appointment letter thama diya gaya aur agle din se senior scientific assistant mukarr kar diya gaya 250 rupe ke mahaan tankhwah par. Teen saal guzar gaye, unhi dino banglore mai aeronautical development establishment ADE ka naya Mahakam khula aur mujhe waha post kar diya gaya. Banglore kaanpur se bilkul mukhtlif saher tha. Mai apne directrate ka pahla saal waha guzaar chukka tha .darasal hamaare dekh me ye ek ajeeb tareeka hai, ajeeb sad hang hai apne logo ko had darza tak nichod lene ka, jo hamare logo ko inteha pasand bana deta hai. Shyaad isliye ki sadiyon is desh ne gair mulko ki tahjiibo ke jakhm khaaye hai aur unhe pane daaman me jagah bhi di hai. Alag alag hukmraano se vafa karte karte ham apni haisiyat, apni iftdaay kho baithe hai balki hamne ek aur hi khoobi paida kar li hai ki ek hi wakt mai rahamdil bhi hai aur beraham bhi, hasaaz bhi hai aur behiss bhi, jitney gahre hai utne hi satahi. Upar se dkeho to ham bade khushrang aur khoobru nazar aate hai lekin koi gour se dkehe to ham apne hukmraano ki bedhab nakal se zayada aur kuchh nahi hai. Maine kaanpur me kale me dabaaye huye paanwale navaab vazid ali shash ke nakalchi bahut dekhe aur bengalore me firangiyo ke andaaz me kutte ki zanzeer thaame tahalte huye saahibo ki kami nahi thi. Bengalore me rahte huye mai rameshwaram ke gahre sukoon aur shaant vatavarn ke liye tarasta tha. Pahle saal to ADE me koi zayada kaam nahi tha, ek project team banaayi thi ki teen saalo me ek swdeshi hover craft taiyaar kare aur jo vakt se pahle taiyar ho gya, nandi uska naam rakha gaya, shiv ki sawaari ke aadhaar par, uska design hamari ummed se zayada achha tha lekin mai sakht maayus huwa jab aapsi controversies ke bina par sara project balaa e taak par rakh diya gya, band kar diya gaya. Prof. M.G.K.Menon tata institute of fundamental research ke director ek din achaanak haamri jaanch padtal ko aa pahuche. Nandi ka jikr nikla, mujhe poochtaach karte huye unhone khwashish zaahir ki ek das minute ki udaan ke liye. Uske hafta bad ki baat thi mujhe Incospar se bulava aa gaya. Mai Mumbai chala gaya interview dene mera interview lene walo me doctor Vikram Sarabhai, M.G.K.Menon ke alawa Mr. Saraf they jo us wakt atomic energy commission ke deputy secretary ke ohde par they. Doc. Sarabhai ki garmjoshi ne pahli hi mulakat me mera dil moh liya agle hi din mujhe khabar mil gayi ki mai chun liya gaya. Mujhe incospar me rocket engineer ki haisiyat se shamil kar liya gaya tha. San 1962 me derina hisse me kahin incospar ne thumba me equatorial rocket launching station banana ka fiasla kiya. Thumba Keral me trivendram se pare door daraaz k eek unghte se gaon ka naam hai. Hindustaan me ye
modern rocket based research ki ek dabi si iftada thi, ek halki si shuruwaat. Uske fouran baad hi mujhe 6 mahine ke liye America bhej diya gaya NASA me rocket launching ki training ke liye. Jane se pahle mai thoda sa wakt nikal kar rameshwaram gaya, mere abba meri is kaamyabi ke liye bahut khush huye aur mujhe usi masjid me le jaakar shukraane ki namaaz ada ki.
NASA Langley research centre varjinia me maine apne kaam ki shuruwaat ki. Bad me Goddard fly space centre Maryland chala gaya. Mai apna impression Americans ke bare me Benjamin Franklin ke is jumle se bayaan kar sakta hun�jin baato se takleep hoti hai unse taaleem bhi milti hai� Hindustani tanzimo me yahan ki organization me ek badi mushkil hai, jo upar hai wo bade magroor hai apne se choto ki, junior aur subordinate ki raay lena apni hadke samjhte hai. Koi bhi shaksh apni khoobi dikha nahi sakta agar aap use malaamat hi karte rahe. Usool aur pabandi, pabandi aur sakhti, sakhti aur zulm ke beech ki line badi mahin hai, bareek hai, uski pahchaan bahut zaruri hai.Mai jaise hi NASA se louta fouran baad hi hndustaan ka phala rocket launch vaakya huwa. 21 november 1963, wi saunding rocket tha naam apache nike. Nike apache ki kaamyabi ke baad prof. Sarabhai ne apni aarzoo, apne khwaab ki izhaar kiya.ek Indian setelite launch vehicle ISLV ka sapna. Hindustaani rocket ka sapna 20 vi sadi ka khwab bhi kaha jaa sakta hai jo tipu sultaan ne dekha tha. Tipu sultan ki fouz me 27 brigade they jo khushum kahlaate they aur hare k brigade me ek dasta tha rocketmen ka jo sath rahta tha aur juks kahlaata tha. Jab tipu sultan mara gayato angrejo ne 700 rocket aur 900 rockets ke sab system baraamad kiye. 1799 me tirukannahalli ki jung ke baad wo rockets viliam kongeri ne England bhijwa diye jaanch padtaal ke liye, uski takneek samjhne ke liye jise aaj ki science zabaan me ham reverse engineering kahte hai. Tipu sultan ki mout ke baad us khwab ki bhi mout ho gayi kam se kam ded sou saal ke liye. Pundit jawaharlaal Nehru ki badolat wo rocketery ka khyal phir ek baar hindustaan me zinda huwa. Prof. sarabhai ne us khwaab ko hakeekat banaane ki zimeedaari apne sar le li. Bahut se tangnazar logo ko etraaz tha is bat se ki is mulk me jaha koum ko do wakt ki roti naseeb nahi hoti waha in spece udaano ko, in khayalaayi tahreeko ko kyo tarjeeh de jaa rahi hai.lekin prdhaanmantri pt. Nehru aur sarabhai ke nazriye me kisi kism ka mubaarta nahi tha, unke nazariye blkul saaf they ki agar duniya ke mulko me, duniya ke maslo me hissa lena ha, shirkat karni hai, hindustaan ko koi haisiyat haasil karni hai to science aur technology ki taraaki khud mukhtaari aur self reliance zaroori hai aur unka maksad taakat ka mujahira bilkul nahi tha. Sahaj pake so meetha hoye, Thumba me do rocket sahaj pake aur kaamyaab huye ek rohini aur dusra menika. Agla ssal laga hi tha jab prof. sarabhai ne mujhe delhi bula bheja ek meeting thi aur meeting me group captain V.S.Narayanan se mera tarruf karaya gaya jo air head quarter se they. Prof. sarabhai ne RATO taiyar karne ka irada zaahir kiya. Rocket assistant take off ek military air craft madad se udaya ja sake badi choti si jagah me. sham tak ye khabar bhi aam ho gayi ki hindustaan ek khud saft military aircraft taiyar kar raha hai aur mai us project ka mukhtaar hun, jimmedaar hun, mai kayi tarah ke zazbaat se bhar gaya. Khush bhi tha, shukrguzaar bhi, khushkismat bhi aur ek ehsaas huwa taknil ka, fulfillment ka. 19 vi sadi k eek shayar ki ye satah bahut yaad aay� Har din ke liye taiyar raho, har din ko ek tarahi me lo jab okhli me ho to bardasht karo jab dasta ho to waar karo.�
RATO pe kaam karte huye do aham vakyaat huye. Pahla to ye tha ki apne deksh me pahli bar spece research ka das saala program taiyar hua jiske author they prof. sarabhai. Mere liye wo ek rumaani mainifesto tha jaise space se ishk karne wale kisi shaayar ki rumaani nazm ho, jaise koi apne desh ke aasmaan se ishk karne laga ho. Aur dusra vaakya, ministry of defence me missile panel ka taiyaar hona.
Narayaran aur mai ham dono us panel ke member they. Us wakt tak bhavishy ki ane wali SLV setelite launch vehicle ka naak naksha bhi taiyar ho chukka tha. Prof. sarabhai apne derina khwaab ki taabir dene ke liye kuchh aur saathiyo ka chunav kar chuke they. Mai khud ko khushmismat samjhta hun mujhe us project ka leader chuna gaya. Us par prof. sarabhai ne mujhe ek aur jimmedaari bhi sounpi ki launch ki chouthi stage mai hi decide karu. Ye mamul tha, mera alk tha ki har missile panel mi meeting ke baad mai jaakar prof. sarabhai ko poori tafsil, poori report deta tha. Delhi me aise hi ek meeting ke bad 23 december 1971 ko mai trivendram lout raha tha aur us din thumba me prof. sarabhai SLV ka muaayna karne gaye huye they. Delhi airport ke lounge se maine unhe phone kiya, panel meeting ki tafseel bataayi. Prof. sarabhai ne kaha ki mai trivendram airport par unka intezaar karu. Mai jab trivendram pahucha to fiza me ek maatam chhaya huwa tha, mujhe khbar di gayi ki prof. sarabhai nahi rahe. Chand ghanto pahle dil ka doura padne se unka intekaal ho gaya. Mai tharra ke rah gaya. Chand ghante phale hi to maine unse baat kit hi. Mere liye wo bahut bada sadma tha. Prof. sarabhai meri nazar me indian science ke rastrpita they, jaise rastrpita Mahatma Gandhi hai. Unhone apni team se rahnuma paida kiye aur khud amal se unke liye misaal saabit huye. Kuchh arsa prof. M.G.K.Menon ne space research ka kaam sambhala. Bil aakhir prof. satish dhawan ko indian space research organization ISRO ki jimedari sounp di gayi. Thumba ka poora complex bade paimane par ek space centre bana diya gaya aur vikram sarabhai space centre VSSC ka naam diya gaya. jisne wo centre kaayam kiya tha usi ke naam se us jagah ki shrdhaanjali pesh ki gayi. Mashhoor materiologist Doc. Brahm prkash VSSC ke pahle director mukarrar huye. Koi bhi shaksh apni jimedari mai tabhi kamyaaab ho sakta hai agar wo ba rasookh ho, motbar ho aur apne faislo ke liye use sahi had tak aazaadi ho shaayad nizi zindgi me bhi taslli ka yahi ek rasta hai. Azaadi aur jimevari ek sath ho tabhi wo taskeen aur khushi ka baaayis ho sakti hai aur jati azadi haasil karne ke liye mai do raaste tajveez kar sakta tha jo maine ikhtiyar kiye. Pahla to ye ki apni talim aur tarbiriyat ko badava do, ilm, knowledge bada karaamti hathiyar hai, bahut kaam ata hai. Ilm jitna zayada hoga utni zayada azadi ke hakdaar honge. Ilm wo punji hai jo koi chheen nahi sakta, inki rahnumaayi tabhi mumkin hai agar aapki jaankari mukammal ho, autodate ho. Kaamyaab rahnuma banne ke liye zaruri hai ki din ka kaam jab kharm ho aap pichle kaam ka zayza le, agle din ke kaam ki taiyari kare. Dusra tareeka ye hai ki apne kaam ko apna fakhr samjho, garv samjho aur zaroorat bhi hai ki apne andar ki Shakti ki sahi jaankari ho. Jo karo us par yakeen rakho, ya his par yakeen ho wahi karo varna dusro ke imaan ka shikaar bante rahoge.
SLV project ke pahle teen saalo me sayins ke bahut se naye naye israar khule par ahista ahista sayins aur technology ka fark samjh aane laga. Research aur development ka fasla pata chalne laga.Kisi bhi izaad me galtiya hona lazimi hai lekin har galti kamyabi ki taraf ek aur kadam uthaati hai. Ik aur seede ban jaati hai. Kisi bhi takhleek ki tarah SLV ki takhleek bhi kayi dardnaak lamho se guzri.Ek roz jab mai aur mere tamaam saathi apne kaamo me poori tarah doobe hue they mere ghar se ek mout ki ittla pahuchi. Mere dost aur mere hamdard mere bahnoyee jalaludeen ka intekaal ho gaya tha. Kuchh der ke liye to mai sunn hoke rah gaya, meri ankho me andhera chha gaya. Thodi der baad jab apne chougirde ka ehsaas hua maine mahsoos kiya ki jaise meri hasti ka ek hissa mar gaya tha. Raat ke raat baso me safar karta hua agli subah mai rameshwaram pahucha. Johra ko kya taslli deta aur kya sabr deta apni bhanji mahbooba ko jo ro rokar halkaan ho rahi thi, meri ankho ke sote pahle hi sookh chuke they. Thumba loutkar bahut dino tak sara kaam kaaj, sari masrufiyat bemaani lagne lagi. Bahut dino tak bahut malaal
lagaa, sab bemaani lagta tha. Prof. dhawan der der tak housla dete they, kahte they � SLV par jaise jaise kaam aage badega, mujhe sabr mahsoos hoga aur ye mayusi kam hote hote guzar jaayegi.
1976 me mere abba jenulabdeen 102 ki umar me wahi rameshwaram me intekaal farma gaye. 15 pote potiya chhod kar gaye they peeche aur ek padpota. Duniyavi tour par wo sirf ek aur buzurg ki mout thi, koi bada maatam nahi hua, jhanda nahi utaara gaya, naa akhbaro me syah haashiye diye gaye. Naa siyastdaan they wo naa vidwaan koi, naa koi bade sarmaaya daar, ek seedhe saade insaan they farishta shifat aur hare k us baat ki vajah they jo daanaayi aur parsaaayi ki raah dikhaati hai. Mai bahut der tak apni maa ke pas baitha raha chupchaap aur jab utha thumba loutne ke liye to usne rundhe gale se duwaay di mujhe.
SLV 3 apaache rocket jo france se udaayi jaane wali thi, achaanak kuchh mushkilo ka shikaar ho gayi. Mujhe fouran france jana pada. Mai ravana hone hi wala tha ki meri maa ki mout ki khabar pahuchi, ek ke bad ek poori teen moute ho gayi mere ghar me, us wakt mujhe apne kaam me poore dhyan ki zaroorat thi. Sou feesdi lagan se kaam karne ki khwahish kisi aur lagan ki gunjayish nahi chhodti. Mukalmaati aur poori lagan se SLV 3 ka khwab 1979 ke darmiyaan me jaakar poora hua. Hamne SLV 3 ki parvaaj ka din 10 ausgust 1979 tay kiya. 23 meter lamba char stages ka ye rocket 17 ton ka vajan lekar 7 bajkar 58 minat me badi kajaadayi se udaa aur khala ki taraf ravana hua. Phali stej har tarah se pukhta nikli aur bade araam se rocket dusri stej me chala gaya ham damkhud rah gaye, sans suki baithi thi. Hamare barso ka khwab aasmaan ki taraf safar kar raha tha. Achaanak hamare khwab me daraar ayi, hamara sukoon toota, hamari khamoshi tooti. Dusri stej kaaboo se bahar hone lagi thi. Teen sou satrah second baad parvaj toot gayi meri mehnat aur ummid chouthi stej ko sath lekar tamam malba harikota se 560 kilometer door samundr me jaakar gira. Is haadse se ham sabko sakht sadma pahucha, mai gamo gusse se bhar gaya. Nichud gaya bilkul jismaani tour par bhi aur jehaani tour par bhi, mai seedha apne kamre me gaya aur bistar par dhans gaya. Maine apne kandhe par ek dilaase ka hath mahsoos kiya to aankhe kholi. Dupahr dhal chuki thi sham kareeb thi. Doc. Brahm prakaash mere sirhane baithe they. Unki is hamdardi ne chhoo liya mujhe, mai udaas tha, maayus tha lekin akela nahi tha. Har shaksh takniki jamatafriki aur bahas mubahise ke baad mutmayin ho chukka tha lekin mujhe itminaan naa aaya. Mai musalsal aur baichen raha, mai besakhta khada ho gya aur etraaf kiya prof. dhwan ke saamne� Sir mere sathiyo ko nakamyabi ki vajah daryaaft ho jaane ki vajah se itminaan ho gaya hai lekin mai use kaafi nahi samjhta, is mission me directorate ki hasiyat se is galti ko bhi mai apni jimmewari samjhta hu. SLV 3 ki nakamyaabi ki jimmedari meri hai.
Sayins ka kaam kamaal darze ka utsah bhi deta hai, khushi bhi aur utni gahri maayusi bhi. Is tarah ke vakyaaat soch soch ke mai dil ko dhandhas deta raha. Ye khyal ke insaan chand par utar sakta hai, ye sabse pahle ek rusi scientist ne socha tha. Use hakeekat banana me 40 saal guzar gaye jab America ne use poora kiya. prof. chadra shekhar ne limit ka awishkaar kyat ha 1930 me jab Cambridge me padh rahe they lekin pachaas sal baad unhe usi discovery par nobel prize mila. Apni settle launch vehicle se aadmi ko chand par utaarne se pahle kitni sari nakamiyo se guzre honge.Pahaad ki choti par uatrne se pahaad par chadne ka tazurba nahi milta. Zindgi pahaad ki chadano par milti hai choti par. Chadano par hi tazurbe milte hai aur zindgi manjti hai aur technology tarrkki karti hai. Choti par pachuchne ki koshish me hi chadano k ilm hasil hota hai. Mai eke k kadam chalta raha, chadta raha choti ki taraf.SLV 3 ki udaas se 30 ghanta pahle 17 july 1980 ke din akhbaaro ki surkhiya tarah tarah ki ray aur andaazo se bhari hui
thi. Zyadatar reporter ne pahli SLV ki yaad dilaayi thi ki kis tarah rocket fail ho gaya aur uska malba samundar me jaa gira tha. Kuchh logo ne to use deksh ki dusri khamiyon ki jikr karte huye bhi use SLV 3 se jod diya tha. Mai janta tha ki agle din ka nateeza hamaare future ke space program ka faisla karne wala hai. Mukhtsar ye ki saare koum ki nazre ham par gadi hui thi. 18 july 1980 subah 8 bajkar teen minat par hindustaan ka pahla satellite launch vehicle uda. Maine rohino satellite ka tamaam deta computer par jancha, agle do minat ke andar andar rohoni antriksh me tha. Us tamaam shorgul ke beech maine apni zindgi ke sabse aham alfaaz ada kiye � mai mission director bol raha hun , ek zaroori khabar sunne ko taiyar raho, chouthi stage ki kamyabi ke sath rohini satellite ko lekar antriksh me daakhil kar rahi hai.� Mai block se baahar aaya to mere sathiyon ne mujhe kandho par uthaa liya aur naare lagaate huye juloos niakala. Saari koum me ek josh ki lahar doud gayi, hindustaan us chand koumon me shamil ho gaya tha jinke paas satellite launch ki kabiliyat thi, hamaare koumn ka ek bada khwab poora hua tha, hamare itihaas ka ek naya vaakf khula, ek naya chapter. Prdhaan mantra indra ghandhi ne mubarakbaad ka taar bheja aur sabse zyada hindustaan ke science daan khush they ki ye poori koshish swdeshi thi, hamari apni thi. Mai kuchh mile jule jajbat se guzar raha tha, mai khush tha ki pichli do dahayiyo se jis koshish me tha bil akhir usme kamyaab hua lekin udaas tha. Jin logo ki bdoulat mai yahan pahucha tha wo log mere sath nahi they. Mere abba, mere mere bahnaoyi jalauldeen aur prof. saaraabhai.
SLV3 ki kamyabi ke mahine bhar ke andar hi prof. dhawan ka phone aya ek din aur dilli bulaya prdhaan mantra se mile ke liye. Meri ek chhoti si uljhan thi kapdo ko lekar. Hamesha se hi bade aamiayan se kapde pahanta hun aur paanvo me chapel ya sleepers kah lo. Prdhaan mantree ko milne jaisa wo libas nahi tha mere liye to nahi, unke ehtaraam ke liye. Suna to prof. dhawan bole� kapdo ki fikr mat karo, tumne jo shaandaar kamyaabi pahan rakhi hai wo kaafi hai.�
Republic day 1981 mere liye ek badi khushkhabri lekar aaya ki mujhe padm bhoshan se navaza gaya hai. Maine apne kamre ko bismillah khan ki shahnaayi se bhar liya. Shahnaayi ki goonj mujhe kahin aur hi le gayi. Mai rameshwaram pahuch gaya. Maa ke gale laga, abba ne mere baalo ko ungliyon se sahlaaya aur mera dost mera rafeek jalajudeen masjid me mere inaam ka elaan kar raha tha. Meri bahan johra ne meetha banaya ghar mai. Bakshi lakshman shahstri ne mere mathe par tilak lagaya aur father solomn ne mere hath me saleeb dekar duwa padhi aur prof. sarabhai ko dekha. Unke chehre par muskurahat thi, fakhr tha jo pudha wo lagakar gaye they ab poora ped ban chukka tha jiske fal hindustaan ki awaam tak pahuch rahe they.
Pahli june 1982 ko maine defense research and development laboratory DRDL ki jimmedari sambhal li. Us wakt ke defence minister R. Vekentraman ne jab mashvira diya ki bajaay darza ba darza missile taiyar karne ke hame mukkmal apni missile taiyar karne ka program banana chahiye to hame apne kaano par yakeen nahi aaya aur dekhte hi dekhte wo project bana jiske nateeze aayinda bahut door tak pahuche. Har project ka nam hidustan ki khud mukhtaari, self-reliance ka suboot tha.
Surface to surface missile ka naam prithvi rakha gaya, technology core vehicle ko trishul ka naam diya gay, surface to air defence system aakaash kahlaya. Anti-tank missile ke project ko naag ke naam se pukara gaya aur mere dereena khwab re- experiment launch vehicle ko maine agni ka naam diya. Missile technology ka hunar duniya ki kuchh chuni hui koumon ke paas hi tha, wo bade taajub se hamaari taraf
dekh rahe they ki ham kya karne jaa rahe hai aur kaise kaise karenge. Ham ek meeting me baithe huye apne maksad ko poora karne ke liye 1984 ki nishaandehi kar rahe they jab doc. Brahm prkaash ki mout ki khabar ayi. Mere liye to woe ek aur sadma tha. Pahli SLV ki nakamyabi ke wakt jis tarah unhone dhandhas di thi mujhe, wo yaad karke mai aur zyada gamgeen ho gaya. Prof. sarabhai agar VSSC ke nirmata they, banaane wale they to prof. Brahm Praksh uske aamil they, executer they. Unki vinamrta ne mujhe badi had tak namr kar diya aur maine apni tunzmizazi par kafi had tak kaaboo kar liya. Unki halimi sirf apni khoobiyon tak hi mahdood nahi thi balki apne se chhoto ko izzat dena bhi unki aadat me shamil tha. Unke bartaav aur sulook me baat nazar aa jaati thi ki koi bhi sakhsh khaamiyon se khali nahi hai. Yahan tak ki afsar bhi, leader bhi, rahnuma bhi.Wo bahut bade daaneshar they, ek kamzor sharer ke andar unme bachho si masumiyat thi. Mujhe hamesha wo science dano me sant nazar aate they. Prithvi ka kaam apni takmeel ko pahuch raha tha jab ham 1983 me daakhil hue. 25 February 1988 ko subah 11 bjkar 23 minat par prithvi ki pahli parvaaz vakib hui. Hamaare mulk me woe k etihasik mouka tha. Prithvi sirf ek surface to surface missile hi nahi balki ayinda aane wali tamaam kism ki missile ka buniyadi naksha bhi tha, future ka module thaw o. prithvi ne hamaare aas pados ke mulko ko dahla diya magrabi yani western mulko ko pahle to hairat hui phir gusse ka izhaar kiya aur paabandi laga di india ke liye ki wo aisi koi cheez bahar ke mulko se na khareed sake jo unke missile program me istemaal ho sakti ho ya kaam aa sakti ho. Missile ki izaad ne hindustaan ki khud mukhtaari ne duniya ke tamaam taraaki yafta mulko ko pareshaan kar diya. Agni ki team me 580 se zyada science dan shamil they. Agni ki parvaaz 20 april 1989 tay payi gayi. Launch ki tmaam taiyariyan mukkmal ho chuki thi aur phir hifazat ke liye ye faisla kiya gaya tha ki launch ke wakt aas paas ke tamaam gaon khali kara diye jaaye. Akhbaar aur media ne is khabar ko bahut uchhala. 20 april pahuchte pahuchte tamaam mulk ki nazre ham par tiki hui thi. Dusre mulko ka dabaav badh raha tha ki ham is tazurbe ko multavi kar de ya khariz kar de lekin sarkaar mazboot deewar ki tarah hamare peeche khadi rahi aur kisi tarah hame peeche nahi hatne diya. Parvaaz se sirf 14 seconds pahle hame computer ne rukne ka ishara kiya. kisi ek purze me koi khami thi, wo fouran theek kar di gayi. Lekin usi wakt down ray station ne rukne ka hukm diya. Chand seconds me kayi rukaavate samne aa gayi, ab parvaz multavi kar di gayi. Akhbarat ne aasteene chada li. Har bayanaat me apni apni tarah ki vazuhaat nikal li. Cartoonist sudheer laal ne ek cartoon shaya kiya jisme ek khareeddaar kuchh saman dukaandaar ko vapis karte huye kah raha tha� agni ki tarah wo bhi nahi chali�
Ek cartoon me dikhaya gaya ki science daan kah raha hai� sab theek tha, switch button nahi chal�
Hidustaan times k ek cartoon me ek neta reporter ko samjha raha tha� darne ki koi bat nahi, ye badi aman pasand ahinsa ki missile hai jisse koi marega nahi� kareeb das roz din raat kaam chala missile ki durusti par aur aakhirkaar science dano ne ek nayi tareekh tay ki agni ki parvaz ke liye magar phir wahi hua. 10 seconds pahle computer ne rukaawat ka ishara kiya, pata chala ki ek purza kaam nahi kar raha hai.Parvaaz phir multavi kar di gayi. Aisi baat kisi bhi science tazurbe me hona aam baat thi, gair mulko me bhi bahut baar hota hai lekin ummed se bhari hui koumn hamari mushkil samjhne ko taiyar nahi thi. Hindu akhbaar me keshav ka ek cartoon chhapa jisme ek dehati kuchh note ginte wkat kah raha tha� missile ke wakt gaon se hat jaane ka muwaza mila hai, do chaar baar aur tazurba multavi hua to phir pakka ghar banva lunga. Amul butter ne apne hoarding par likha ki� agni ko indhan ke liye hamaare butter ki zaroorat hai� agni ki maramamt ka kaam zari raha. Akhirkaar ek bar phir 22 may ki tareekh agni
ke parvaaz ke liye tay paayi. Uski pichhli raat doc. Arunachalam, Gernel K.N.Singh, aur mai defence minister K.C. Pant ke sath chahalkadami kar rahe they. Poore chaand ki raat thi, high tide ka wakt tha aur lahre garaz garaz kar khuda ki azbal ka naam le rahi thi. Kal agni ki parvaaz kaamyaab hogi ki nahi baar baar yahi sawaal hamaare dimaag me goonj raha tha. Defense minister ne ek lambi khamoshi ko todte huye poocha� kalaam kal agni ki kaamyaabi manaane ke liye kya chahte ho tum. Mai kya chahta tha ?kyat ha jo nahi tha mere pas? Apni khushi ke izhaar ke liye mujhe kya karna chaihye? Aur achaanak mujhe javaab mil gaya. �ham ek laakh pedo ki konple lagayenge�maine kaha aur unke chahre par rounak aa gayi.
�tum apni agni ke liye dharti ma ka ashirwaad chahte ho� we bole, kal yahi hoga, unhone peshangoi ki. Agle din subah 7 bajkar 10 minat par agni launch hui. Kadam kadam sahi nikla, missile ne jaise text book yaad kar li ho, jaise sabak yaad kar liya tha. Har sawaal ka sahi jawaab mil raha tha. Lagta tha jaise ek lambe khoufnaak khwaab ke baad ek khoobsurat subah ne aankh kholi ho. Paanch saal ki mashkkat ke baad ham is launch pad par pahuche they. Iske peeche paanch lambe saalo ki nakaami, koshishe aur imtihaan khade they. Is koshish ko rok dene ke liye hindustaan ne har tarah ke dabaav bardasht kiye they. Lekin hamne kar dikhya jo karna tha. Meri zindgi ka sabse kimati lamha the womuthhibhar seconds. 600 seconds ki wo parvaaz jisne hamaari barso ki thakaan door kar di, barso ki mehnat ko kaamyaabi ka tilak lagaya. Us raat maine apni dairy me likha� agni ko is nazar se mat dekho, ye sirf upar uthne ka sadhan nahi hai, na Shakti ki numayish hai, agni ek lou hai jo har Hindustani ke dil mai jal rahi hai. Ise sirf ek missile mat samjho, ye koum ke mathe par chamakta hua aag ka ek sunahri tilak hai.1990 ke republic day par desh ne agni va missile program ki kamyaabi ka jash manaya. Mujhe padm vibhushan se navaza gaya aur doc. Arunachalam ko bhi das saal pahle padm bhushan ki yaade ek bar phir hari ho gayi. Rahan sahan bhi bhi mera vaisa hi tha jaisa tab tha. 10 by12 ka ek karma kitaabo se bhara hua aur kuchh zaroorat ka furniture jo kiraye par liya tha. Fark itna hi tha ki tab ye karma trivendram me tha ab hedrabad me. Vaiter mera nashta lekar aaya, idli aur chanch aur ankho me ek khamosh muskurahat mubarakbaad ki. Mai apne ham vatno ki is navajish se chhalak gaya. Mai jaanta hun ki bahut se science daan aur engineer mouka milta hi vatan chhodkar dusre desho me chale jate hai zyada rupya kamane ke liye, zyada aamdani ke liye lekin ye aadar, izzat aur muhbbat kya kama sakte hai jo unhe apne vatan se milti hai. 15 october1991 ko mai 60 saal ka ho gaya. Mujhe apni retirement ka intezaar tha, chahta tha ki gareeb bacho ke liye ek school kholu. Ye wo din they jab maine socha ki apni zindgi ke tazurbe, musahide aur wo tamaam baate kalamband karun jo dusro ke kaam aa sake. Ek tarah se apni umri likhu, apni jeevani. Mere khyal se mere vatan ke noujavano ko ek saaf nazariye aur disha ki zaroorat hai tabhi ye irada kiya ki un tamaam logo ka jikr karun jinki badoulat mai ye ban saka jo mai hun. Maksad ye nahi tha ki mai bade bade logo ke naam lun balki ye ki koi bhi shaksh kitna chhota kyo na ho use housla nahi chhodna chahiye.Masle mushkile zindgi ka hissa hai aur takleefe kamyabi ki sachhayi. Jaisa kaha hai kisi ne ki�khuda ne ye vada nahi kiya ki aasmaan hamesha neela hi rahega, zindgi bhar phoolo se bhari rahe hi milengi, khuda ne ye vada nahi kiya ki sooraj hai to baadal nahi honge, khushi hai to gam nahi sukoon hai to dard nahi hoga. Mujhe aisa koi gumaan nahi ki meri zindgi sabke liye ek misaal bane magar ye ho sakta hai ki koi mayus bachha kisi gumnaam si jagah par jo samaaj ke kisi mazoor se hisse se talluk rakhta ho, ye padhe aur use chain mile, ye padhe aur uski ummed roshan ho jaaye. Ho sakta hai ki ye kuchh bachho ko naummedi se bahar le aaye aur jise wo mazboori samjhte hai wo mazboori na lage.
Unhe yakeen rahe ki wo jahan bhi hai, khuda unke sath hai. Kash har Hindustani ke dil me jalti hui lou lag jaaye aur us lou ki parvaaz se sara aasmaan roshan ho jaaye.
