The guiding light started where the wings of fire had left. It is the journey of our former prime minister in continuation to the previous autobiography.
Preaching
To believe and to perform good deeds is not without challenges! is not the only best line from the guiding light but the book is flooded with such quotations. And to get such knowledge from a personality like Kalam is a blessing come true.
Poems
Since wings of fire was more towards kalam’s journey as a scientist and more towards his career in ISRO, the guiding light is more towards his life as a human being and as an enthusiast of literature and arts. In the book we can visit kalam’s memory and also his own written poems.
Collection of different books
Guiding light is a collection of kalam’s favourite books such as Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, Qur’an and Thirukkural and when you get to read someone’s favourite book you can get to know the person’s perspective and personality.
