A GREAT GRANT SUCESSFUL MEETING OF POSTMASTERS’ OF MAHARASHTRA CIRCLE

DEAR POSTMASTERs,

As long as our ideas are the same, we will never be apart.

Our strength is a contented and intelligent community.

Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.

Unity is power.

We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty; some are dull, while others bright some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box.

No one can whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it.

One piece of log creates a small fire, adequate to warm you up, add just a few more pieces to blast an immense bonfire, large enough to warm up your entire circle of friends; needless to say that individuality counts but team work dynamites.

Good communication is just as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.

A GREAT GRAND SUCESSFUL MEETING OF POSTMASTER’ OF MAHARASHTRA CIRCLE HELD ON 19^TH AUGUST 2012. IN SPITE OF HEAVEY RAINS MEMBERS FROM ALL FIVE REGIONS WERE ATTENDED THE MEETING AND PASSED FOLLOWING RESOULTIONS:
