It is pink pyajamas flying high at the red fort, now!

Finally we got our first lady president, after 60 years of Independence... Sad!!! We never had a lady prez earlier. Anyways, better late then never!!! Now we have a women who will be the commander-in-chief of the army, navy and air-force. lolzzz. Women were never allowed to hold higher posts in the army, navy and air-force!!! And looking at the recent scenario where Kiran Bedi was denied the delhi chief post, it wont change so soon...I hope our "Rajyaadhyaksha" (dats wat she will be addressed as) Mrs Pratibha Patil, will change it...
I m happy abt all this; but what worries me the most that Prathibha Patil might just turn out to be merely a nodding automation.
It was sad to see Prez Kalam leave. He really raised the bar of Indian Presidents. The nations loss is the gain of a few college students, whom Prez Kalam is going to teach... I know he is no more the President of The Indian Sovereign... but he is still the People's President...

Mrs. Patil, our honourable madame prez these days has finally taken over from my fav. prez-Dr.Kalam.. And the only 1 bit of advice i can give her is that hopefully she will do her presidential duties to the core. Askin her to live up to the legacy of Dr. Kalam is asking for too much. But the least she can do is to just carry on her duties..

bidding farewell to Kalam has been a difficult job for everyone.. And hopefully, so will it be for Mrs.Patil..
