Fast Track President

The below pictures which were taken on the Former President A P J Abdul Kalam's visit to Bhopal and also the first outside New Delhi after taking over as the President of India. These pictures were shot keeping in mind the protocol the presidents had to follow which he did not like as he later told Hindustan Times - Bhopal Editor at a high tea party in the Governor's house. Kalam also praised the pictures himself which was told to me by the RE of HT -Bhopal.


A Man in Hurry: President Dr A P J Abdul Kalam sure lives life in the fast lane. Inspecting the guard of honour, he took off like a missile, leaving behind his guards several paces while ideally, he should have been walking in their midst. At the end of his canter, the escorting guards, marching at their meticulously measured pace, were yet to catch up with him by a good distance. These images were taken at the Bhopal airport on Thursday, September 5, 2002.
