Rohit Bhai ki Bidaai... Ruqsat'07

Rohit had to fly to Japan on Saturday 21st April, 2007. Therefore he came back from Indore on Sunday 15th April, 2007 to treat us all @ PopTates. (Oops!!! We did it again, Niraj and I actually planned that this time we’ll not ask anyone for any venue options…) Apart from the usual bakar, the main attractions of that party were: A Poem by Nishant and the Q&A session initiated by our own fantasy man, Tammy (the details of that session will be posted soon).

As per the plan, Niraj wrote an awesome mail to everyone (all our batchmates who are still in Mumbai). The subject of the mail was “Let's Say Good Bye or rather All the best to Rohit....” that mail was hilarious and senti both at the same time… Check out the full details of that Page 3 Party at Niraj’s Blog (Don’t get confused, Page 3 Party means our party, we’re no less than celebrities. If you guys have any doubts about it, then come to us and we’ll explain how???)

On the day of the party, in the morning we (Nishant, Niraj & I) decided that we all should give some memories to Rohit, in the form of a gift and a card… Even though it wasn’t possible to make all the arrangements that day, so we decided that we’ll surprise him at the airport. Later after several mail chains and conversation, we finally decided that we should give him an iPod, a coffee mug and a card. We scribbled all over the card and also on the coffee mug…

We gave these gifts to Rohit on Friday night… He too became a little senti but didn’t cry… (If anyone of you has doubts about it then we’ve the video of the same too…)

The D day came; surprisingly most of us were present at the tea stall on time… We reached International Airport and there too our usual masti and bakar was on… At some moments Aunty started crying but Bhavana, Rakhi and even all of us tried to console her… And finally the moment came when Rohit finally said Good Bye to each of us and went to Japan…

Rohit, we all once again wish you all the best for your bright future !!!

I missed the "BIDAI" but yes through this blog i could re-live some of the moments that i lost...To move ahead in life you sometimes have to compromise and go away from your dear and loved ones..but hope this opportunity gives rohit bhai the much needed break and a change in the environment and work culture...All the best rohit!!

Thanks for dropping by!

Farewells are always sad.I'd written a post about farewell too,--its buried somewhere in my archives.

But as a friend of mine said "we meet to part and part to meet".You can always look forward to Rohit's coming back--and look back upon happy memories you shared.
Bon voyage to rohit!
