Peoples President
July 23rd, 2007 at 10:10 pm by ashok in General
Generally I do not write on politics, but this is exception. I feel that I should write something on this occassion when office of President is being vacated by our (peoples) president Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. India has seen many presidents, I also in my life seen many time the office of president is replaced by new president, but neither I feel like this nor i have seen the reaction of people like this time.
Although out of many ex presidents some were really outstanding personalities, but there is no doubt that President Kalam was true peoples president.
He has the most charismatic and inspiring personality despite simple living.
To say something for Dr. Kalam is like showing candle to Sun. Hope he will continue to inspire us and coming generation of india.
This post is my Salute To Dr. Kalam.
