Dear Friends,
I wanted to share some exciting news with you all—I will be retiring from my position as a Quality Assurance Manager in July. Having worked for years in the food manufacturing industry, it feels both thrilling and a bit surreal to be closing this chapter. I’ve been fortunate to have such supportive friends like you by my side through this journey, and I cherish all the memories we’ve made over the years.
After retirement, I plan to spend some quality time with family, starting with a visit to my son’s home in Delhi. Following that, I hope to
fulfill
a long-held dream of traveling
abroad to explore new places and cultures.Before I embark on these adventures, it would mean a lot to gather with you all to celebrate our friendship and the start of this new phase. I’m looking into local venues where we could meet without too much travel, and I think Spice Club could be a wonderful place for dinner and a night of reminiscing. Let’s make it an evening to remember!
I look forward to celebrating together and creating more joyful memories. Here’s to many more years of friendship!
