Ah ok. Agree we shouldn't 'worship' personalities.
Dr. Kalam had his tenure of 5 years, it is not like he never got a chance to be president. IMO it is fair that he was not elected for the 2nd term; perhaps the notion of second term should probably be abolished for all big political posts including that of PM and CM. This so new ideas come up and people do not get complacent in there posts.
