Pres Kalam forced to leave

http://in.indiatimes.com/vote.cms

A fine man, a great scientist and the best President India ever had, Kalam has added to the prestige and stature of the highest public office in the country. His easy accessiblity and simple manner endeared him to Indians accross the whole wide spectrum of the population. What a pity then, the political class did not appreciate his suitability for a second term as President. Given the kind of politicians we elect, maybe we do not deserve persons of his integrity and calibre as our first citizen.

That said, may the life ahead hold promises that he did not, so far, have the time for. May this great country continue to derive inspiration and encouragement from him. May his tribe increase !

Well said. It is indeed sad that Prez Kalam has to leave the office. I suppose it is a lesson for the rest of us who do not participate in the governance of our own country ... for if we were active, our polititians could not have ignored us.
