This title, which may seem a statement of the most obvious, is meant to rub in one fact:
this campaign is not just about My Guy v/s urs- kalam or no kalam/ WHY KALAM??
butt, abt THE FUTURE PRESIDENT OF INDIA..at no point should any sort of fanaticism creep in-that is our uppermost concern.
So, let me introduce to u Dr. APJ Kalam....
(dear Smoker no.1 *refer the post below for more on that*..u mite want to read this, n urgently so! )
Dr. Kalam is one of the most distinguished scientists of India with the unique honour of receiving honorary doctorates from 30 universities and institutions. He has been awarded the coveted civilian awards - Padma Bhushan (1981) and Padma Vibhushan (1990) and the highest civilian award Bharat Ratna (1997). He is a recipient of several other awards and Fellow of many professional institutions.Dr. Kalam became the 11th President of India on 25th July 2002. His focus is on transforming India into a developed nation by 2020.
SOME OF HIS QUOTES:
"Thinking should become your capital asset, no matter whatever ups and downs you come across in your life.""Thinking should become your capital asset, no matter whatever ups and downs you come across in your life."
"Thinking is progress. Non-thinking is stagnation of the individual, organisation and the country. Thinking leads to action. Knowledge without action is useless and irrelevant. Knowledge with action, converts adversity into prosperity."
"When you speak, speak the truth; perform when you promise; discharge your trust…. Withhold your hands from striking, and from taking that which is unlawful and bad…
"I will not be presumptuous enough to say that my life can be a role model for anybody; but some poor child living in an obscure place in an underprivileged social setting may find a little solace in the way my destiny has been shaped. It could perhaps help such children liberate themselves from the bondage of their illusory backwardness and hopelessness?.."

Dr. Kalam interacts with students here.... do check it out, at least u will rest in peace thinking that the "rubber stamp" is at least leaving a good mark on young impressionable minds n not just rotting in one of the luxurious 300 something rooms, in the Rashtrapati Bhawan.
Will ask Kanchan to post a very interesting incident in his life later, that will just increase your respect for this man manifold.I dont have a draft of that story with me right now ...
pssst: ignited minds no.1 and 2 sre busy preparing to prepare for their exams(not a typo there...) n so are kinda lying low..... of a very prcaticable plan.
reminder: READ THE INITIAL POSTS FOR THE HOWs and WHYs of this campaign..
and READ THE 2 CHAPTERS OF "MISADVENTURES OF 2 ..." for light reading n
understanding the cause better....
But do read- it hurts to write blogs that will never be read... n leave comments n ideas so that we know where this is headed. This has a practical purpose to it u know...blogging is just a part o
