Today, on 31st July 2025, I step into retirement after a long and fulfilling professional journey that spanned 35 years, 9 months, and 12 days. I began my career on a Thursday, 19th October 1989, and coincidentally, I retire today, also on a Thursday. That symmetry brings a special kind of joy.This is not just the end of a long innings—it’s the beginning of a new chapter. As I move on from being a “Dada” (elder brother/mentor figure), I now embrace the warm role of a “Dadu” (grandfather).To all my elders, I offer my respectful regards. To the younger ones, my heart is full of love and blessings.Grateful for the journey, and hopeful for the new horizon ahead.
