If Kalam thinks he is popular and fit for public life, leave alone the office of the President, why doesn't he make this explicit and contests for MP from Chennai.
People would fall over each other to vote for him. He can then contest for PMship in parliament.
But I know he wouldn't do that as he knows he can't win. He would contest only if he is sure to win and no other party puts candidate aganinst him.
Obviously, He has excuse for everything.
Some would say that an honest man can't win an election. I agree that there are people like Advani, Vajpayee, Sushma Swaraj etc. who win election solely based on goondagiri and money/muscle power. But on the other hand, there are people like P. Chidambara, Mani Shankar Aiyar, Late Sunil Dutt etc. who win election just because of their abilities and clean image. So this would be just another excuse form Kalam and his fans.
Being an MP, people's representative, is the biggest thing in democracy. PM, Presidents are official posts but an MP is people's man. Nobody should be ashamed of representing people. So many ex-primeministers are just MPs today. No ex-president was an MP because presidents are never people's man.
An so is Kalam. People are not going to vote for him.
Being a big opportunist, he accepted the president's post when it was being offerd to him. Now when the time came for election, he backed out. Big coward. Big opportunist.
If he cared for public, He should have become and MP. Not President.

Dr Kalam belongs to the leauge of Dr Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan. People who criticise Kalam saab belong to the league of extraordinary intellectuals like Pappu Yadav, Atik Ahmed, DP Yadav, Sadhu Yadav etc., So play on play on.......

Forget it dear Venky & Suresh; why waste your language resources on filthy comments? India is a Nation Of Morons who will always keep pulling the legs of others & will never ever improve. What else can we expect from a Nation whose PM loses sleep for the sufferings of Terroists & easily forgets the eternal damage done to his country by them? Or whose All - Powerful Matriarch (!?) is ready to fling untold amount of public funds just to get her lover released even though he has sold this country?

I agree with you .Kalam never mentioned the names of people who and the team who helped him in the missile technology .He is an individual who rests on the laurels of hard work put by his fellow men.I can understand that as a senior he has the right to be praised but in the scientific field he should have rejected his laurels and would have mentioned the team work.Well I can say that he wasted 5 years in the office reading books and presiding over functions or replying to some mails .He wanted to be rememebered as a sweet hubly bubly man.Now he has returned to be a professor.Why the hell he became a president if can do nothing in politics .
