A direct satellite connection has been given to former President APJ Abdul Kalam that will enable him to interact and hold audio and video conferences from any corner of the country. Hopefully once we have CR stations networked to the Internet using our technology, we will be able to get Dr. Kalam to talk to and inspire kids across the villages of India.

Dr. Kalam actually visited the University of Waterloo a few months back, and I had the honour of going for his talk. He ended his talk by making us repeat the following words:

Where there is righteousness in the heart, there is beauty in the character. When there is beauty in the character, there is harmony in the home. When there is harmony in the home, there is harmony in the nation. When there is harmony in the nation, there is peace in the world.

These words should be treasured for ever.
