A Mahatma for our times.

What an exit, sudden but significant! So sudden, bereft of a formal farewell. But significantly, a departure of a great Teacher in the midst of his students. However, teachers we know never die. They live on in the lives of the students they have mentored. Mr. Abdul Kalam will live on in our memories and hopefully inspire every Indian to tread the path of intellectual excellence, moral integrity and social harmony.

The Nation promptly reacted to the shocking news with immense, spontaneous grief over the demise of India's most brilliant Nuclear Scientist,  an unmatched People's President and a loyal citizen, human to the core. Government News channels, private news agencies and socialnetworks, have since, opened the floodgates of 
profuse praise and admiration for Mr. Abdul Kalam. May it not remain mere lipservice which will fade as fast as it appeared.

Professor Kalam was an Indian, head and shoulders above the rest, be it in the field of Science, Public life and Social dealings. We may rightly consider him the Mahatma for our times and tainted India's solitary boast.
