Anoop Menon
The best thing to have happened to this nation after the mahatma, Dr kalam was the most secular soul we had in our public realm...a leader who implored us to dream beyond the clouds,a visionary who put science and common sense before blind faith and religion, a true blue crusader for the awakening of a lethargic nation....his demise leaves a void that is going to take nothing short of a phenomenon to replace...lots of love dear APJ and you had told us not to waste time praying for you,so desisting from that...
A.R.Rahman
Dr. Kalam, when you became the President, you gave the word 'hope' a new meaning for Indians... Today, we have lost a great leader who inspired our young minds to feel that we live in the greatest nation on earth and that each one of them can achieve great things... May the creator lead you to heaven.
