Another farewell party

Well – it didn’t start off as one. It was supposed to be a party to have everyone over for drinks & conversation but it kinda soon took on the feel of a farewell.

Who are well farewelling this time?? Our very own Gitanjali (aka Dr. G.)

It was a great night. Enjoy the photos:

 

Tulika’s Wedding

The other Sunday, we went to the wedding of one of Tania’s senior officers (Tulika).

Tulika is quite a lovely personality so the wedding wouldn’t be anything but vibrant & full of fun (it's a Punjabi wedding after all !!).

A lot of the DIAC A-based went & a good time was had by all.

Enjoy the photos:

Don't they look lovely in saris??

Farewell to Bill

Yep!! It would seem that it’s the season of farewells.

On the 1^st of December, Tania & I threw a farewell dinner for our good friend Bill (who works over at the Brits). I only met him since coming to India but Tania has known him from her days in Jordan.

We’ve had many fun times here with Bill. It’s sad to see him go.

We’ll miss ya Bill!! Tell us where you post to next & we’ll meet up there!!

Here are some photos from the evening – Tania made a few of the dishes you see here (as did our maid) & we had some help from the local “Punjabi by Nature” restaurant in Basant Lok:

Some of the spread we put on for the evening

The present we got Bill - something to remember India by

Mmmm.....chocolate brownies !!

Farewell High Commissioner

The staff threw a farewell bash for the High Commissioner the day before he left India.

All the staff were there to say their goodbyes & to wish him well in his new role as Secretary DFAT.

Peter – you will be missed. You've been a great boss to work for.

Here are some photos from the farewell:
