HUMILITY & HUMANITY:
This has happened in 2012. This is to recollect how great people behave and teach us about humility. See this real story:
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 cancelled all his meetings, & requested the driver's family to await him for the cremation and came back to Pune immediately by a 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 which 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 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. This is the belief, we have been brought up with, which made me do, what I did.
An inspiring example of humanity.
A Limousine, which was originally owned by Acharya Rajneesh was subsequently purchased by Mr. Zavere Poonawala who is a well-known Parsee industrialist in Pune( He is worth more than US $ 8 Billion). The said limousine was personally driven by Poonawala to carry the mortal remains of his personal driver who was with him for 30 years. The humility and the respects of Poonawala for his driver is hard to believe.
