Asaman ko choo gaya, jo asmaan sa vishal tha, dharti mein simat gaya, jo mitti jaisa narm tha.
Kaun hai jo Atal reh paya zindagi bhar, Atal banke wo zindagi ko paa gaya.

That place is now indeed a Heaven. As Atal & Kalam both are there now. #AtalBihariVaajpayee

Confession: I once told Vajpayee I’d never voted for him. He squirmed in mock horror & said “abhi kuchch aur mashaqqat karni padegi,” (I’ll need to slog harder). Here was a PM you could tell you didn’t vote for, and it didn’t affect the trust, affection & time he gave you. RIP
