All the President's Boyz I

It was long ago but the memory of it still seems fresh in my mind.A day when no one cared that the President of the country is coming to town and that too in our college.The thought of it all comes back at an apt moment as it is Convo time here in IIT Roorkee-same as three years back.
We the first yearites were all enthusiastic about the fact and had made our preparations by sleeping on time(ironically 1 am in the night).
I had an injured leg.I could not walk properly.Here was a task that required agility,a concious mind and swift movements as the person mentioned was no other than our very own Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam.He had become a popular man by his down to earth personality and his grand dreams for our country.It was a shame that I had not read any of his books but the desire to see him as a human being-right in front of my eyes was the keenest desire at that moment.
