1. A letter from the president of India — 900k+ views
16 yrs back in 2004 my mom showed me an unusual letter delivered to me. It was a personal letter from the “President of India” back then — Sir A.P.J Abdul Kalam.
We lived in a small town Wanaparthy (35k population). Everyone at my home was in shock.
But I knew exactly what was up.
2 weeks ago, I just got an inland letter, wrote a few of my best poems (class 6), and posted it addressing “Abdul Kalam, Rashtrapati Bhavan, Delhi”.
Remember that I didn’t even know the term “Google” or used a computer up until that point. So I wrote the generic address knowing where the president of India resides, on the letter.
I told my gully boys whom I play marbles with & they seriously thought I was joking.
I also didn’t think much after that since the odds of the address being right -> the president reading it -> responding was a chain…
