Atal Bihari Vajpayee: Politician by work, poet at heart

Atal Bihari Vajpayee's name inspires the kind of respect that very few politicians command -- so great was his contribution to Indian democracy. He is currently in critical condition at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi. Apart from being a patriotic statesman, Vajpayee was a Hindi poet too. His famous poems are -- Do Anoobhootiyan, Doodh Main Darar Pad Gayi, Kadam Milakar Chalna Hoga, Manaali Mat Jaiyo and Ek Baras Beet Gaya.
