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 19TH AUGUST 2012. IN SPITE OF HEAVEY RAINS MEMBERS FROM ALL FIVE REGIONS WERE ATTENDED THE MEETING AND PASSED FOLLOWING RESOULTIONS:
