When APJ had to say cheers with vodka…..


Some years back some Russians had come to hyderabad to discuss a deal. When they were leaving they had arranged for a dinner party at a five star hotel. Author sujatha also accompanied APJ to the party. Since the deal was through, in their happiness one of the Russian scientist handed over a glass of vodka to APJ. Kalam. APJ was not only a pure vegetarian but also had nothing to do with alcoholic drinks. The Russians were not English friendly and it would have been difficult to explain to them.. Kalam was in a fix. He would have to keep up the party spirit.
Kalam had this to say to sujatha….this drink looks just like water. You go inside and get water in a glass like this.
Sujatha went and got a glass of water to replace vodka. And kalam happily said ```cheers’’ to the Russian scientists.

Author sujatha and our former president APJ studied together at st josephs trichy and thereafter at MIT.
