FAREWELL DR. KALAM...THE PEOPLE'S PRESIDENT

There has to be a First to everything...like the first time you cried, the first time you laughed, the first time you smoked....etc...etc....this is the first time i am writing a blog online in real time....and not first drafting it on my laptop & then uploading it online............and this is the FIRST TIME A PRESIDENT WILL BE MISSED FOR A LONG LONG TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDIA............Today when you switch on any news channel you can see atleast two or three reports in every news programme that has been showing the common man of this great republic, bidding farewell to the man himself.....the PEOPLE'S PRESIDENT.....Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam.From a man born in a rather poor household in the southern parts of India to the journey to the Highest Office in India, he's done it all, seen it all and over & above that felt it all....a President who did what he felt was right & that made him connect to not just young minds , but to people of his age too. He had the mental agility & forethoughtfulness to see that this nation required a president who could not just sit at the top & be a rubber stamp, but who could ignite minds..............Mr. Vinod Mehta on a show was prasing this man like anything. He said the only black spot in this tenure as president was not when he was woken up in Russia and made to sign the dissolvement of the Bihar assembly, so that Mr. Nitish Kumar could not become the CM, but thetime just a few days before the election, where he was made to believe that if he asked the political class for another chance at the post he maybe re-considered. I AGREE with you Mr. Mehta.......that was the darkest hour of his Presidency........the time wherein he may have been pushed into a tight corner, by this croonies & made to belive that he had a real chance at making it again to Raisina Hill..........it goes to show that inspite of his god wisdom, he may have choosen a path that may have brought India closer to VISION 2020.........but als the political class backstabbed this man....the PEOPLE'S PRESIDENT into a PR Blunder....................though he may have recovered in an impressive manner, but he took on the might of the political class & bore the brunt of it during the election time................NO RESERVATIONS , NO NOMINATIONS.........even NDA wanted to wash their hands away.......5 years they thought that a man who used to work under ABV, would always come to his rescue overlooking his Constitutional duties......but they were wrong. They choose the Right man ,but for the wrong post...........Can anyone imagine that if we run India like India Inc. , with people like Dr. Kalam at the helm of affairs, we can achieve 2020 before the set year.......................just a thought that crept into my miond while writing this blog............but thats never gonna happen. It need a will to place your country before yourselevs & that trait is reserved for the SOLDIERS not for politicians...............

So Farewell Dr. Kalam.........Hope you are associated with India in a fruitful & productive manner for a long long time......

WE SHALL MISS YOU................

JAI HIND........
