something to chew on..

An interesting post by Anji Reddy on Abdul Kalam in The Hindu. One particular anecdote in this post stands out.

“We can never forget his remarks on this occasion on leadership and how his mentor, Satish Dhawan, treated the first rocket launch, which was a failure. He asked them to go back to their workstations and he took the press head on. When the next launch was successful, he asked them to address the press and retired to his office.”
