Dear Prasad,
Thank you for kindly inviting me to the reunion of our dear IDL. I was very much looking forward to meeting my former colleagues & superiors and revisiting memories from the two terms I spent with the organisation as Head of Legal & and also in charge of Corporate Personnel for sometime.
IDL truly lived up to its ‘ideal’ name for me in every sense-it provided an ideal atmosphere to learn, contribute, and grow professionally under the able guidance of its Managing Directors. Those years remain among the most cherished phases of my career, and the connections formed then have stood the test of time.
Unfortunately, my enthusiasm has been slightly outpaced by my doctor’s advice to avoid travel for now, leaving me no choice but to miss the reunion in person.
Though I will not be able to join you physically, my warm wishes and fond thoughts are certainly with all of you. I am sure the gathering will be a memorable one, filled with fond recollections and good cheer.
Wishing you a wonderful reunion, and hoping to meet everyone on a future occasion when circumstances permit.
With warm regards,
Ashok Barimar
