During my B.Com days at Loyola College in Chennai, he was invited as a guest, and I was fortunate enough to stand right next to him a true dream come true. His message to the youth that day was powerful, urging us to 'dream big' and believe in the potential of those dreams. Our college dance team was aptly named the ‘Dream Team’ as a tribute to his philosophy, embodying his encouragement to envision a brighter future.

Later, when I became the official choreographer for the Madras Institute of Technology’s Dance Crew, I felt a deep sense of pride and connection. This was the very place where Dr. Kalam had completed his aeronautical engineering studies, and it felt like a privilege to walk a path he once traveled. His journey and his words continue to inspire me every day."
