What a Great Person 🙏💐
Ethics in public life!!
In 2014, a company called
'Saubhagya Wet Grinder' was a sponsor in some event where
Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam was the chief guest.
The sponsor presented a gift to him which he respectfully declined to accept. The sponsor explained that it was just a grinder and requested him to accept. He took the gift without any further argument.
Next day, APJ sent his person to the market to find out price of grinder. He later made out a cheque from his personal account of market price and sent it across to company.
As expected company decided not to deposit cheque.
The story does not end here. He followed up with his bank and when due deduction did not happen in time, he informed company to deposit cheque or else he would be constrained to send grinder back.
Seeing his resolve, the company deposited cheque but made a photocopy of same and framed it and kept it on display.
This is the picture of that cheque.

Like most people, I was pleased to hear that #MSDhoni might stay on for another year in the #IPL. But I would not hope for longer, since I believe he needs to consider rhe political arena. I worked with him on the NCC review panel chaired by @PandaJay & saw that his intellectual agility matches his agility on the sportsfield. He was collaborative, humble & yet assertive in making innovative inputs. He is an obvious future leader…
The best way of articulating the meaning of martyrdom… It’s not the end of their lives…It’s when they BEGIN to live in our hearts. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 #ShaheedDiwas23Mar
