Routes : Most important aspect of life.
Mr. Zavere Poonawala (Brother of Dr. Cyrus Poonawala) is a well-known industrialist in Pune. He had this driver named Ganga Datt with him for the last 30 years on his Limousin.
Ganga Datt passed away recently and at that time Mr. Poonawala was in Mumbai for some important work. As soon as he heard the news, he canceled all his meetings, & requested the driver’s family to wait for him for the cremation, and came back to Pune immediately by helicopter.
On reaching Pune, he asked the Limousin to be decorated with flowers, as he wished Ganga Datt should be taken in the same car that he himself had driven since the beginning.
When Ganga Datt’s family agreed to his wishes, he himself drove Ganga Datt from his home up to the ghat on his last journey.
When asked about it, Mr. Poonawala replied that Ganga Datt had served him day and night, and he could at least do this by being eternally grateful to him.
He further added that Ganga Datt rose up from poverty and educated both his children very well. His daughter is a Chartered accountant and that is so commendable.
His comment, in the end, is the essence of a successful life in all aspects: Everybody earns money which is nothing unusual in that, but we should always be grateful to those people who contribute to our success.
Never forget the routes of life.
Always perform BIG THANK YOU TO THEM.
Money or power or status or position may come-go but gratitude to the people who had stand with you are deserving always big thankyou.
