Kalaam तुझे सलाम !!!!

In every walk of life, some time a person comes, who change the meaning of a "position". Before TN Seshan, how many indians knew that Election Commision is such a powerful institution!! Similarly Before A.P.J. Abdual Kalaam, how many of us has debated over the post of President of India. But once Kalaam became the President. Now whosoever become the president, we expect that he/she must be of same credentials. He/she must be looked as neutral and independent as Mr. Kalaam is. And this is what, I believe, Kalaam's greatest achivment is. He has set a benchmark on which every other presidents will be measured.
Pratibha Patil - She is going to be the next President of India. India's first lady president. Few days back, very few people knew about her. And the first most obvious reaction after hearing her name was "who is she?" . Then slowly we came to know about her. Her political experience. And now i feel that she is much better choice than Shivraj Patil, Pranav Mukherjee or Shinde..... People are saying that she might not be very neutral and is loyal to Gandhi family. So, what about other three choices? are they any different? The other objection is, No one knows her. If "Fame" is the critera for the post of president then i think "Rakhi Sawant" can be better than most of our politicians. One more question is, She was not the "natural or first choice".. so?? Manmohan singh was also not the first/second/third or nth choice for the post of PM...why didn't we raise this question at that time?
