Our former president Dr Kalam lived a very simple life.Today everyone event those who live a luxurious life are talking about his simplicity and extolling his virtues. Our present Prime Minister who aslo hails from a similar background has described him as a 'marg darshkok '-a guru who shows us the correct path to follow. These people are making the right 'noises' as they say. the question is
how many us practise what we preach? It easier to preach than to follow. Look at the dresses that pur present Prime Minister wears! During the visit of USA President Barrack Obama Modiji changed his dress four times a day while President Obama sued only one pair of suit. Modiji who claims to be the son of a 'chaiwala' has already become a fashion icon of not only India but of the whole of the world. So when someone like him says that Kalam was a 'marg darshok' we have to take his word with a grain of salt. At least he was not a marg darshak for Modiji.
A person who lives behind him a rich legacy to follow was definitely a destiny's child. Hundreds of thousands of people in India live below the poverty line. So it is a cruel joke when our leaders tell them to follow the doctrine of 'simple living and high thinking''. Have they got any other alternative? No. So what is the point in telling them to live a frugal and simple life? The rich and the affluent can take a leaf out of Kalam's book of live. Prime Minister Modi and Our President Pranab Mukherjee should learn from his life, not the common people. For they been living nothing but a frugal life for generations together.
Our intellectuals should learn from Dr Kalam. He was educated in India and devoted his life to the cause of his motherland. Today we dance we joy when person of Indian origin is appointed as the CEO of a foreign company .Recently a certain Pichai Sundaram was appointed the CEO of Google and many Indians have began dancing in the open because he was from India and he was educated at Kharagpur. He then went to America, settled there and gradually rose to the present position. But he is no longer an Indian. Why should feel proud of him? Why should our Prime Minister congratulate him? Are we congralutanig him for living our country and serving the interest of another country? I am dismayed. I am appalled ! Compare him and other such deserters with Dr Kalam and you will surely understand what I am trying to say.
