Secret of success


This about Mr.Zavere Poonawala who is a well-known industrialist in Pune. He had this driver named Ganga Dutt with him for the last 30 years on his limousine, which was originally owned by Osho Rajneesh.


Ganga Dutt 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 await him for the cremation and came back to Pune immediately by a helicopter. 


On reaching Pune he asked the limo to be decorated with flowers as he wished Ganga Dutt should be taken in the same car which he himself had driven since the beginning. When Ganga Dutt's family agreed to his wishes, he himself drove Ganga Dutt from his home up to the ghat on his last journey.


 When asked about it, Mr. Poonawala replied that Ganga Dutt had served him day and night and he could at least do this being eternally grateful for him. He further added that Ganga Dutt 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: “We should always be grateful to those people who contribute to our success“
