Where are we?
Where are we now, dear friends,
In the Maha Sabha that shapes as history,
The call of heartbeats of Indian people,
People ask us, people ask us:
Oh! Parliamentarians, the sculptors of Mother India,
Lead us unto light, enrich our lives.
Your righteous toil is our guiding light,
If you work hard, we all can prosper.
Like king, so the people,
Nurture great thoughts, rise up in actions,
May righteous methods be your guide;
May you all prosper ever with Almighty's grace.

This is the poem 'Where Are We'? written and presented as a gentle exhortation from the people's President of India to the country's representatives in the beginning during his customary address to both the Houses of Parliament to herald in the new session on the morning of 25th February 2005...
Yes, it's about the eloquence of Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, A Life extraordinarily incredible and remarkably so special that infected all those who came in touch with it, where new chapters of Presidency were being written almost everyday and made it noteworthy for the initiatives, decisions and warmth it brought to the highest office in the land...
SEE THE FLOWER, HOW FREELY IT GIVES OF ITS PERFUME AND HONEY.
BUT WHEN ITS WORK IS DONE, IT FALLS AWAY QUIETLY.
- Bhagavad Gita
About exactly a year back thus a glorious era ended with the quiet exit of its Godly Leader...
The nation lost its most respected Thinker, Visionary & Statesman...
Our very own Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam is no more, but his profound inspirational life has left behind the legacy of inexhaustible divinity, extraordinary determination, courage, perseverance and excellence for the nation to reflect on and take his journey beyond.
Let's begin with making his aspiring Vision 2020 - India, "A Developed Nation" to a great success as an honest tribute...
#RIPKalam
