Tom & Sara Smith

```At the point of death, a man, Tom Smith, called his children and he advised them to follow his footsteps so that they can have peace of mind in all that they do..

His daughter, Sara, said,
"Daddy, its unfortunate you are dying without a penny in your bank..
Other fathers' that you tag as being corrupt, thieves of public funds left houses and properties for their children; even this house we live in is a rented apartment..

Sorry, I can't emulate you, just go, let's chart our own course..

Few moments later, their father gave up the spirit..

Three years later, Sara went for an interview in a multinational company..
At interview the Chairman of the committee asked,

"Which Smith are you..??"

Sara replied,
"I am Sara Smith. My Dad Tom Smith is now late.."

Chairman cuts in,
"O my God, you are Tom Smith's daughter..?"

He turned to the  other members and said,

"This Smith man was the one that signed my membership form into the Institute of Administrators and his recommendation earned me where I am today. He did all these free. I didn't even know his address, he never knew me. He just did it for me.."
He turned to Sara,
"I have no questions for you, consider yourself as having gotten this job, come tomorrow, your letter will be waiting for you.."

Sara Smith became the Corporate Affairs Manager of the company with two Cars with Drivers, A duplex attached to the office, and a salary of £1,00,000 per month excluding allowances and other costs..

After two years of working in the company, the MD of the company came from America to announce his intention to resign and needed a replacement. A personality with high integrity was sought after, again the company's Consultant nominated Sara Smith..

In an interview, she was asked the secret of her success,,

With tears, she replied, "My Daddy paved these ways for me. It was after he died that I knew that he was financially poor but stinkingly rich in integrity, discipline and honesty".

She was asked again, why she is weeping since she is no longer a kid as to miss her dad still after a long time..

She replied, "At the point of death, I insulted my dad for being an honest man of integrity. I hope he will forgive me in his grave now. I didn't work for all these, he did it for me to just walk in".

So, finally she was asked, "Will you follow your father's foot steps as he requested ?"

And her simple answer was, "l now adore the man, I have a big picture of him in my living room and at the entrance of my house. He deserves whatever I have after God".

Are you like Tom Smith..?
It pays to build a name, the reward doesn't come quickly but it will come however long it may take and it lasts longer..

Integrity, discipline, and self control makes a man wealthy, not the fat bank account..

Leave a good heritage for your children..

As an agent of CHANGE, please share this true life story with your loved ones..

God bless us all..```

दप्तर दिरंगाई कायदा, 2006

दफ्तर दिरंगाई कायदा,  2006 माहिती अधिकार कायदा २००५ अधिक प्रभावी होण्यासाठी महाराष्ट्र राज्य सरकारने ‘अभिलेख व्यवस्थापन कायदा’ व ‘दफ्तर दिरंगाई कायदा’ असे दोन महत्त्वपूर्ण कायदे २००६ साली संमत केले. यातील दफ्तर दिरंगाई कायद्याप्रमाणे शासकीय कर्मचाऱ्यांकडून शासकीय कर्तव्ये पार पाडताना जो विलंब होतो, त्याला प्रतिबंध घालण्यासाठी अशा विलंबासाठी संबंधित कर्मचाऱ्यांवर शिस्तभंगाच्या कारवाईची तरतूद आहे.या कायद्यामुळे सर्वसामान्य नागरिकांना शासन दरबारात किमान उभे राहण्याचे तरी धैर्य आले आहे आणि शासकीय अधिकाऱ्यांच्या बेमुर्वतखोरपणाला थोडासा का होईना चाप बसला आहे. मात्र, हा कायदा वापरताना या कायद्याच्या मर्यादाही लक्षात यायला लागल्या आहेत. पहिली मर्यादा म्हणजे ‘सदरहू कागदपत्रांचा आढळ होत नाही’ अशा प्रकारची शासकीय खात्यांकडून सर्रास मिळणारी उत्तरे. यावर प्रभावी उपाय असणाऱ्या अभिलेख व्यवस्थापन कायदा २००६ बद्दल आपण याच स्तंभातून काही महिन्यांपूर्वी माहिती घेतली, ज्यात कोणती कागदपत्रे किती दिवस सांभाळून ठेवावी व हा कालावधी संपण्याच्या आत ती नष्ट झाली तर संबंधित अधिकाऱ्याला दहा हजार रुपये दंड...

शिमला करार: भारत आणि पाकिस्तान यांच्यातील शांततेचा करार

शिमला करार: भारत आणि पाकिस्तान यांच्यातील शांततेचा करार शिमला करार (किंवा शिमला करारनामा) हा भारत आणि पाकिस्तान यांच्यात २ जुलै १९७२ रोजी पाकिस्तानच्या फाळणीच्या पार्श्वभूमीवर झालेला एक महत्त्वपूर्ण शांततेचा करार आहे. हा करार भारताच्या शिमला शहरात झाला होता. हा करार १९७१ च्या भारत-पाकिस्तान युद्धानंतर करण्यात आला. त्या युद्धात भारताने पाकिस्तानवर निर्णायक विजय मिळवून पाकिस्तानमधील पूर्व पाकिस्तान स्वतंत्र करून बांगलादेश म्हणून नवे राष्ट्र निर्माण केले. हा करार दोन देशांमध्ये शांतता प्रस्थापित करण्याच्या दृष्टिकोनातून अतिशय महत्त्वाचा होता. शिमला कराराची पार्श्वभूमी १९७१ चे भारत-पाकिस्तान युद्ध पूर्व पाकिस्तानमधील लोकांना राजकीय हक्क न मिळाल्यामुळे तेथील जनता स्वतंत्रतेसाठी लढा देत होती. भारताने त्या लढ्याला पाठिंबा दिला, आणि पाकिस्तानसोबत युद्ध झाले. हे युद्ध डिसेंबर १९७१ मध्ये झाले. भारताने पाकिस्तानचा पराभव केला आणि ९०,००० पेक्षा अधिक पाकिस्तानी सैनिक ताब्यात घेऊन त्यांना बंदी बनविले. युद्धानंतर दोन्ही देशांनी शांतता प्रस्थापित करण्यासाठी एकत्र येण्याचा निर्णय घेतला. यासाठी शिमला ये...
