I was Secretary to Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam when he was the President of India from 2002 to 2007. The Kalam Effect is my account of those extraordinary five years. It is by no means an attempt at a biography, nor a chronicle of Dr Kalam’s scientific pursuits. As Secretary to the President, I was very close to him all these five years; yet I maintained a certain objectivity too. I saw his myriad facets. However, this is not an attempt at either defining or deifying him. It is only a narration of what I saw and experienced in that time. I have taken special care to see that there is not the slightest exaggeration in my recounting of the experience. I have very clearly called white white and black black and there has not been the slightest attempt to indulge in suppressio veri, suggestio falsi—suppressing the truth to suggest a falsehood.
