Mr. Vajpayee has turned 93 today.  In my humble opinion, he's been one of the finest Prime Ministers
this country has had since Nehru.  He has been a poet and a philosopher, and if someone like me supported the BJP once upon a time, it was largely because of him.  What was most remarkable about him was that despite being associated with the RSS, he always remained impervious to its toxic agenda, and cultivated a liberal worldview.  How I wish that advancing age and illness had not forced him to retire and fade away from public domain.  India most definitely needs his steady hands and healing touch.  Happy Birthday sir.
