Travelling is no more fun, especially when the frequency gets close to half a dozen (or more) flights in a month. The only way to make it worthwhile is by investing the time in reading and/or networking, while sipping a cuppa coffee from the Café, waiting for the boarding announcements, or up in the sky.
This was another such travel that, and I boarded a flight. But a coincidence made it a memorable one…I was travelling with one of the rarest and best Leaders of the country Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam!!!
He is an epitome of Intelligence, and Morals - the only things I find worth the respect, apart from Age. He was kind enough to enquire my Name, where I worked, what do I do, where I live??? And told he lives in Delhi too :-)

Wow Suchitra....you are one lucky person....it is very rare to be in the presence of such a wonderful person...
Yes, it was a lucky day indeed!!
But, it is the greatness of the man who was travelling as a commoner in Economy, with Zero security, made it all happen.
Lucky you....when we complain about frequent travels and the waiting at airports....this is some great reward for all that pain.....
Wow...........
What a luck !
Would you be able to share his golden words to you?
