Yesterday there was heavy traffic block in this area due the visit of PM and other political leaders in AIIMS where the former PM was on critical condition. Evening he passed away. He was too ill for the last many months and he escaped from all of his illness. He is a great human being indeed. Wishing him Rest in Peace.

Vajpayee was honored with more respect than even Kalam Sahib, no wonder his popularity was wider.

RIP..I actually have not heard of the Indian prime minister since Indira Ghandi. We don't seem to hear much about them in this part of the world. We do hear a bit more about the Phillipines though.

A legendary leader, who was admired night only because of friends and foes alike. Some of the development works that he started are still being in progress and helping in the growth of the nation.

I wish he had not gone to the US to get his knee operated. Be Indian, buy Indian. If he can speak in Hindi at the UN, he should have given respect to our professionals at AIIMS. All those who use government funds, whether for treatment or security or stay for treatment abroad, cannot be called true nationalists.
