Solution

Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, the former President of India, had many friends during his school days. However, he often mentioned about four of his closest friends in his autobiography "Wings of Fire". They were Ramanadha Sastry, Aravindan, Sivaprakasan and Sundaram.

  1. Ramanadha Sastry: He was the son of the head priest of the Rameswaram temple. He later took over his father's role as the head priest.

  2. Aravindan: He went on to establish a successful business in arranging transport for visiting pilgrims.

  3. Sivaprakasan: He became a catering contractor for the Southern Railways in India.

  4. Sundaram: He joined the army and went on to become a Brigadier.

These were the friends who played a significant role in Kalam's early life and had a profound influence on him.
