A glimpse of the humane side of our president, Pranab Mukherjee.

A journalist fell severely ill on board Air India One, the President's aircraft,  on the way back from Turkey.

The journalist's blood sugar had shot up to 547 and Pranab Mukherjee got wind of it. He went up to the journalist and touched his forehead and told him not to worry and assured him he would be taken care of. The president said his personal doctor would examine him.

All through the five-hour flight from Ankara to Delhi, a medical attendant was seated next to the journalist to monitor his condition. The journalist, we are happy to tell you is doing well and can't get over Pranab Mukherjee's kindness.
