Happy Birthday To you my Dear Kalam

It was like an Olympic race. What mattered was participation, not winning! For a political lightweight, India’s Shashi Tharoor put up a commendable performance. Pitted against him were foreign ministers who had brokered deals and negotiated truces. Compared to them, he was not even a diplomat, but just an international civil servant. Yet India backed him, despite misgivings form a large section of diplomats and foreign policy expert. To them his candidature had come as a surprise, and his defeat a foregone conclusion. But the real surprise was that he got 10 encouraging votes managed to stay in the race till about the end, improving his chances with each straw poll. What got him out was three discourage vote cast by the big five.
