Life Footprints – 19

Interaction with President of India……

Invitation from President House is rare of the rarest occasion.

We were invited by President for technical discussion.

At President House, thorough yet friendly checking was done

and mobiles were allowed.

In an elegant room, bearer brought snacks, “Sir insisted to

have this before meeting”. Thoughtful & heart touching……

With no tantrums, Dr. Kalam entered and meeting started. Dr.

Kalam did thorough homework and asked some intriguing
questions.

After meeting, I hesitatingly asked for group photo, which he
agreed. I was standing next to him.

Boss later shared photos sent by President House.

My picture alongside President was missing……..or destroyed
intentionally
