So, we see lots of posting are here not liking Mrs Patil's nomination to the Presidentship.

Great. We all have our opinion.

Now, we have 5 years for the next Presidential election.

So who should be the 14th President of Independent India? After Mrs. Patil.

Let's say we can not change what has already happened. But we can ensure the future.

I want everybody to suggest a great name who should be competent and fit for this post.

A small request :

Please don't post Dr Kalam's name again.

He has done his bit. He has shown a new way.

I am sure India has more people like Dr Kalam who could be our President. Let's make some effort to find and suggest.

Secondly, let's not talk who should not be or can not be our President.

Let's suggest only good name who are fit as per your opinion.

Please show some creative flair.

And then we create a full-fledged website on this and we will continue our campaign for next 5 years.

Hurry up!

Dear Aditya,

I am glad you love Dr Kalam so much.

We all love him.

You would agree we did not make effort to find a name like Dr Kalam before 2002.

Because we were lazy.

Dr Kalam was an accidental candidate. Neither he had any political credential nor a visionary personality. He was juat a scientist, a project manager in our Missile Development programme and finally Scientific Advisor to the Govt. Even he joined Anna University, but we did not get much insight to his vision.

But Dr Kalam surprised all of us as a President. He brought fresh thought to the Presidency.

Now Dr Kalam's tenure is over.

If you really believed in Dr Kalam's case, then you must get the essence of his tenure.

"That there are many brilliant people out there amongst us. We just need to find them."

Maintaining status-quo is easy. But finding a real alternative is difficult. It takes our effort, time and vision.

We can be lazy. Go on making Dr Kalam our President till he is alive.

What next? Would you not make effort to find an alternative then ?

Why not now ?

Don't maintain status-quo.

That only shows our lazyness.

Let's find "another Dr Kalam " or even someone better.

That's exactly what Dr Kalam inspired us to do.
