The RBI, however, clarified that from time to time coins were issued with little changes.

Amid confusion over the validity of Rs 10 coins, the Reserve Bank of India today asserted that all such coins were legal tenders. “The Reserve Bank of India advise members of the public not to give credence to such ill-informed notions and ignore them and continue to accept these (Rs 10) coins as legal tender in all their transactions without any hesitation,” RBI Principal Adviser Alpana Killiwala said.

Watch What Else Is Making News 

Meanwhile, banking facilities returned to normalcy in Meghalaya with few people seen lining up banks and ATMs. However, the claims of “non-validity” of Rs 10 coins by rumour mongers has created confusion in the minds of people. Some ill-informed or uninformed persons who suspect the genuineness of such coins are creating doubts in the minds of ordinary people including traders, shop-keepers etc, thus impeding the circulation of these coins in certain pockets of the country and causing avoidable confusion, Killiwala said.

Circulation of Rs 10 coins has been affected in the state following claims that these coins have been taken out of the market as was done to Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes. The RBI, however, clarified that from time to time coins were issued with little changes.

“One such change was introduction of ‘Rupee symbol’ in coins in July 2011. An instance of this is the `10′ coins with rupee symbol and the same denomination coin without rupee symbol,” the official said.

Killiwala said both are legal tender and equally valid for transactions though they may look a little different. Those refusing to accept the coins may face action, a police official said.

गूगलचे सीईओ सुंदर पिचाई यांनी सांगीतलेला किस्सा

गूगलचे सीईओ सुंदर पिचाई यांनी सांगीतलेला किस्सा त्यांच्याच शब्दात देत आहे.
.
‘एकदा मी एका हॉटेलात कॉफी प्यायला गेलो होतो. माझ्या जवळच्या टेबलावर एक ग्रुप बसला होता. त्यात काही महिला पण होत्या. अचानक एक झुरळ उडत उडत येऊन एका महिलेच्या अंगावर बसले. ते झुरळ बघून ती महिला घाबरून किंचाळायला व थयथयाट करायला लागली. तिचा हा थयथयाट मिनीटभर तरी चालू होता. मोठ्या मुष्किलीने तिने ते झुरळ झटकून टाकले तर ते झुरळ त्याच ग्रुपमधल्या दुसर्याल महिलेच्या अंगावर जाऊन बसले. मग त्या महिलेने पण किंचाळायला व थयथयाट करायला सुरवात केली. तेवढ्यात त्या हॉटेलचा वेटर तेथे आला. त्या दुसर्याथ महेलेने पण मोठ्या मुष्किलीने ते झुरळ झटकून टाकले तर ते झुरळ त्या वेटरच्या अंगावर जाऊन बसले. मला वाटले की आता वेटर पण थयथयाट करणार. पण तसे काही झाले नाही. ते झुरळ अंगावर पडताच तो वेटर स्तब्ध उभा राहीला. अजिबात हालचाल न करता त्या झुरळाच्या मुव्हमेन्ट्स बघत राहीला. योग्य वेळ येताच त्याने ते झुरळ झटक्यात पकडले आणि हॉटेबाहेर फेकून दिले. मी विचार करू लागलो की जी गोष्ट त्या वेटरला जमली ती गोष्ट त्या दोन महिलांना का जमली नाही?
.
माझ्या लक्षात आले की त्या दोन महिला घाबरून ‘रिऍक्ट’ (React) होत होत्या तर त्या वेटरने ‘रिस्पॉन्ड’ (Respond) दिला होता.
.
त्या दोन महिला झुरळाला घाबरून ‘रिऍक्ट’ होत नव्हत्या तर आपण झुरळाच्या समस्येला तोंड देऊ शकत नाही या विचाराने भितीने गर्भगळीत होऊन ‘रिऍक्ट’ होत होत्या.
.
पण वेटरचे तसे नव्हते. आपण झुरळाच्या या समस्येला तोंड देऊ शकतो याची त्याला खात्री असल्यामूळे त्याने ‘रिस्पॉन्ड’ देण्याचे ठरवले होते.’
.
तात्पर्य
.
पहिली गोष्ट म्हणजे ‘रिऍक्ट’ (React) आणि ‘रिस्पॉन्ड’ (Respond) या शब्दांमधला फरक लक्षात घ्या.
.
आयुष्यात कोणतीही समस्या आली की ‘आपण ही समस्या सोडवू शकत नाही’ या भितीपोटी माणूस ‘रिऍक्ट’ होत असतो. कुठलीही समस्या आली की तिला ‘रिऍक्ट’ होणे हा जरी मनुष्यस्वभाव असला तरी त्यामध्ये आपली कमजोरी दिसत असते. कारण मनुष्य जेव्हा ‘रिऍक्ट’ होतो तेव्हा तो बहुतेकपणे चुकिच्या माहितीमूळे, चुकीच्या विचारांमूळे, चुकीच्या गायडन्स मूळे, आत्मविश्वास नसल्यामूळे किंवा चुकिच्या संगतीने ‘रिऍक्ट’ होत असतो.
.
पण आपण या समस्येला तोंड देऊ शकतो अशी जेव्हा माणसाची भावना होते तेव्हा तो त्या समस्येला ‘रिस्पॉन्ड’ द्यायच्या, म्हणजेच तोंड द्यायच्या प्रयत्नांना सुरवात करतो. मग तो यासाठी योग्य ती माहिती गोळा करतो, योग्य व्यक्तिंचा सल्ला घेतो, योग्य विचार मनात आंणतो, मन शांत आणि खंबीर ठेवतो. शांत चित्ताने पण दृढ निश्चयाने त्या संकटाचा मुकाबला करू लागतो.

आयुष्यात अनेक समस्या येत असतात. अनेक झुरळे अंगावर बसत असतात. या समस्यारूपी झुरळांना ‘रिऍक्ट’ होऊन थयथयाट करत बसायचे का ‘रिस्पॉन्ड’ देऊन त्यांना हाकलून द्यायचे हे तुमचे तुम्हीच ठरवायचे नाही का?

The Important Things In Life

A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the table in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, about 2 inches in diameter.

He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up the remaining open areas of the jar.

He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “Yes.”

“Now,” said the professor, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things – your family, your partner, your health, your children – things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter – like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else, the small stuff.”

“If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, “there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party, or fix the disposal.”

“Take care of the rocks first – the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”
