Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, the great philosopher and former President of India, made his first visit to the United States when John F. Kennedy was the President.The weather was dark and stormy in Washington; and when Dr. Radhakrishnan alighted from the plane, it began to rain cats and dogs, as the ex-pression goes.
The young American President greeted his Indian counterpart with a warm handshake and a smile. "I'm so sorry we have such bad weather during your visit,"
he remarked courteously.
The philosopher- statesman smiled. "We can't change bad things, Mr. President," he observed. "But we can change our attitude towards them."
