When Dr.Kalam became the President, he was a leader of national standing and already a Bharat Ratna awardee. He sacrificed his personal comforts for our nation. Therefore, the nation accepted him. Though the Chief Mentor of Infosys can make a good President, still we should not encourage the trend of making working professionals as Presidents. Presidency is about diplomacy, not just being at the helm and enjoying some limelight. Its neither that anyone with good application knowledge could run for President. Whom we are looking for is a well-groomed diplomat and not a specialist in a particular field.
