The talk was titled 'Empowering 3 billion' and it was about initiatives such as PURA, Creative leadership etc...
To be really honest, the talk itself was just okay - Maybe I went in with a lot of expectations.
But the best part of the program which was the Q&A when Dr. Kalam took questions from the audience. Dr. Kalam's answers were witty, practical and had an earthy feel about it.
Goes on to show that it's extremely important to keep life (and answers) simple to be effective and to be able communicate to the masses.
I was pleasantly surprised by the octagenarian's sense of humor, which in a few cases, was at the expense of somebody in the audience (!).
The overall experience was extremely invigorating and I came out energized and little bit pleasantly surprised.

Irony that is missed is the sentence: "I was pleasantly surprised by the octagenarian's sense of humor, which in a few cases, was at the expense of somebody in the audience (!)."

Good for the top man, good for the show, good for the audience. But, the person who could not express him/herself as well got HUMILIATED despite having had a good thought, good contribution.
I agree. Sometimes the 'smallness' of great people is lost in laughter. Not necessarily fair.
