My letter to President Giani Zail Singh was sent out along with my letter to Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The postman was very excited when he delivered the letter. The envelope bearing "Rashtrapati Bhavan" clearly showed that it was from the President of India.

April 1983

1st January 1992, Nizamuddin camping ground New Delhi at a camp organised by Nehru Bal Sangh.

It was exciting to shake hands with the President!

He was happy to know I was from Bangalore and said he visited his relatives there.
