Melbourne's honest man

Jitendra Chirag Kapashi, I know his full name, because I used to work with him, has got the honour of being Melbourne's honest man. This fun loving guy living in the Melbourne suburn of Malvern, found an envelope containing $10,000 in cash, and without any qualms or second thoughts turned it over to the local police station. And, did he ask for an award, no, says the police officer, not even a thought in that direction.

Chirag is a very happy down to earth guy who held the prestigious position of a R & R executive at Telstra Customer Service and you cannot count a single soul who did not know him or did not like him. Man of the masses, as they say.

Chirag, this short post, is dedicated to you, and for making all us Indians proud of you.
