It's heartening to see such respect for senior leaders. His work in science and technology during the Vajpayee era laid a strong foundation. Wishing him good health.

While we celebrate his legacy, it's also a moment to reflect. The current generation of leaders should embody his intellectual rigor and principled stance, not just offer birthday greetings. A little less sycophancy, a little more substance would be a better tribute.

Padma Vibhushan is a fitting recognition for his service. It's interesting to read about his spiritual side as mentioned by Patel. We need more leaders who are guided by conscience.

Birthday wishes are fine, but I hope the younger generation actually reads about his work and his ideas. That's the real inspiration, not just social media posts. Happy 91st!
