Dr Kalam resigned as President of India yesterday. Its time for us to get up in unison and bow in front of the great man. His 5 years at office as President were the best 5 years for presidency atleast since I was born.
Dr Kalam dedicated his entire term for the upliftment of the poor and downtrodden. He traveled widely (all Presidents do, but to foriegn locations) to remote areas and smallest of villages. His strength lies in understanding problems. He has great visions and dreams. But what is special about him is that he also has clear cut ideas to solve specific problems. He knows what exactly is coming in the way of India being a developed nation. And he has ways to resolve them. As an example, I quote PURA (Providing urban amnities to Rural Areas).
The recent election for President's post was the murkiest of all. People went to all possible extremes to win. There was also some talk by some opportunist people (Read UNPA - the big joke!!) to give Dr Kalam a second term. Maybe for once in their life they were trying something good. But as expected, Madam Sonia would have none of it. She was determined to install a puppet - in which she finally succeeded.
However, Dr Kalam is not perturbed. He has decided to pursue his goal - even if he is not the President any more. He plans to take up teaching. Isn't it the best way to impart his dreams? Lets wish him all the best and help him in whatever way possible.

Unfortunately, the office which he held didnt have much powers to implement his ideas. However, Mr President was relentless and did his best to implement them. His farewell speech (Read here - http://www.ibnlive.com/news/i-will-always-be-with-you-dear-citizens-says-kalam
/45527-3.html) mentions a fewof the initiatives taken at his behest. More importantly, if you had watched the speech, you would have come to know what an unassuming and kind person Kalam is. There is no pomp or attitude. He is as gentle as a baby.The recent election for President's post was the murkiest of all. People went to all possible extremes to win.
