I don't think Narayan Murthy should be made the President of India. I don't think India should repeat the mistake twice. With due respect to everyone concerned, let me explain my point. Prof.A.P.J.Kalam, India's top-most Rocket Scientist, who was used to working 18 hours a day on nothing but curd-rice and apples, when made the President of India spent his time doing "nothing" worth-while. I use the word "nothing" on a comparitive basis. A scientist par-excellence, I would have thought he should have been busy imparting his immense knowledge and experience to other young scientists. If it was an administrative position he was looking for, maybe a Dean or HOD , or even the HEad of ISRO or something. That way we wouldn't have lost a BRILLIANT technical mind to the administrative side. I think India needed more books on Nuclear/Rocket Science than self-realisation books like "Wings of Fire". Again, I do not have anything against the book and it was REALLY REALLY inspiring. But it was just INSPIRING to me .... a lay-man. No big deal about it. But a technical book would have helped all our young scientists to achive more in this domain thrusting India forward in the never-ending arms race.
I just don't want the same fate to happen to the revered Mr.Narayan Murthy. Thats all !!!
