About time!

I was quite pleased to hear Ministry of External Affairs suggest that a repeat of the Kalam incident will invite retaliatory actions from India. I just hope that India actually does that and its not just posturing. Is an apology enough, though? Apparently, this happened over a month ago, but lets ignore why this is happening with such a time lag, and just be happy that the Indian foreign affairs machine for once grew a spine!

I don't understand why he can't be around for another term

The UPA government seems to be in a hurry to replace the one President we can be totally proud of. I don't claim to understand politics, so I don't know why Dr. Abdul Kalam is not being allowed a second term at office. Even the fact that the UPA consensus candidate is a woman is no consolation.
