Farewell parties are a part and parcel of our working life and the memories we share with our peers, colleagues and subordinates are always treasured by us. Till the end of my 'fourth innings' the thought never occurred to me to rate all the farewell parties I have attended during my service with various organizations. After leaving Saud Bahwan Group, I have no hesitation to declare that the series of farewell parties I attended during my last week in Muscat surely take the cake on this score. The week was dedicated to farewell parties organized for me by various departments/sections/individuals etc. In fact the schedule was so hectic that I would be awake till odd hours packing my stuff which had to be shipped to India. Every day there was a different farewell party and I could not accept invitations to lunch/dinner which my friends wanted to host owing to these commitments, much to their displeasure. Sorry guys !
Another notable feature was the wholehearted participation of some gentlemen who had joined the department just a few months prior to my departure from SBG. Mr Rakesh Dahiya, the HOD Commercial and Mr Sahim Mohd. Kannu the guy I handed over charge to were the illustrious duo who hardly knew me. In fact they were a driving force behind some of the activities which took place during the course of that momentous last week.
Some live wire characters were working overtime during the entire week to ensure that all the activities were conducted without any glitch. The entire department pitched in with their mite and support. The guys who ran around the most were Jana, Bharat, Pawar, Abdullah, Pinto, Sijo, Rafi and Anup. These guys deserve a medal each.
