Greatness of two legendary sons of India





I wish to share an interesting incident brought out the greatness of two Legendary Sons of India.

When Dr.Abdul Kalam was the President, he visited Coonoor. On reaching , he came to know that Field Marshall Sam Manekshaw was in the Military Hospital there. Dr.Kalam wanted to visit Sam ,which was unscheduled. Arrangements were made. At the bedside, Kalam spent abt 15 minutes talking to Sam & enquiring abt his health. 

Just before leaving Kalam asked Sam " Are you comfortable? Is there anything I cld do ?  Do you have any  grievance ?  or any  requirement that wld make you   more comfortable? 

Sam said"Yes  Yr Excellency, I hv one grievance" .Shocked with concern & anguish , Kalam asked him what it was . 

Sam replied" Sir, my grievance is that I am not able to get up & Salute my most respected  President of my beloved country" . Kalam held Sam's hand as both were in tears.
