Our current president gets the private screening of every movie that hits the theatres every Friday. She’s the first woman president to have been aboard a fighter plane. She goes to every VIP meeting with an entourage of family and friends and makes it a point to tour the place all with the taxpayer’s money. Now if that’s all that a president is supposed to be doing, then I am changing job preferences right now!

Her predecessor to the post had created an impact that was impactful to the point that I actually started believing that we might just have a chance of becoming a superpower under his leadership. He was honest, free from corruption, knowledgeable, hardworking – in short, he had all the qualities that are never present in an Indian politician. He was A.P.J. Abdul Kalam

Result- He did not receive an extension of term and had to leave office after four years.

During the four years however, there were a number of instances which earned him my respect. He managed to tour schools all over the country as he believed that there is a lot that can be learnt from children. Although he didn’t have the time to visit the hairdresser but he had the guts to reject the Bill of Profit as it was against his ethics. Today India has the ballistic capabilities to face almost any nation. A large share of the credit goes to Kalam for his path breaking research and innovation on missile technology. After his presidential term, he donated a library of books for reading and guidance to his successors in their job. Going by current trend, I say dust and other particles have a new mansion all to themselves.
