It's not just the science fraternity that respects and adores Dr APJ Abdul Kalam


It's not just the science fraternity that respects and adores Dr APJ Abdul Kalam. The former India president, who was among the dignitaries present at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium for the grand opening ceremony yesterday, received the most cheers by the capacity crowd. Loud roars and claps overshadowed the music blaring out at 500,000 watts. The missile man must have been very proud by the kind of reception he received.

Not all presidents are given the royal salute by the aam janta and Kalam deserved all the applause he received yesterday.
