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

One day an acquaintance came to meet Chanakya and said to him excitedly “do you know what I just heard about your friend?” “Just wait a while”, Chanakya replied. “Before you tell me anything I would like you to go through a little test which I call the triple filter test”. “What’s that?” asked the acquaintance. “I will tell you”, Chanakya said. “Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you are going to say. That is why I call it the Triple filter test. The first filter is ‘Truth’. Are you sure that what you are about to tell me is true?” “No”, the man said. “Actually, I just heard about it.” “All right”, said Chanakya. “So you don’t really know if it is true or not. Now lets us try the second Filter, the filter of ‘Goodness’. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?” “No, on the contrary..” “So”, Chanakya continued, “You wanted to tell me something bad about him but you are not certain it is true.

The generation gap between a father and a son is 20 to 30 years or may be more. What your father think right may not be right with the present context. How do you handle such a situation when your father speaks something which may not be relevant with the current circumstance and situation? Most of the people make fun about your father due to his old fashioned opinions and habits. This is one of the main contexts of misunderstanding between parents and children with the present generation. If my father says something, which is not right with the present situation; I can defend directly by disagreeing with father by saying, “Dad what are you saying is rubbish. Everyone makes fun about your opinions. I have been in the best schools and colleges in India and abroad. I know what is right and what is wrong. You don’t have to teach me.” How your father will think? “It was better not to educate him.” The same message I can convey in a different way, “Dad what I am today is b
