A farewell to remember

Yesterday, we had the farewell party for our CEO. David is such a super guy. He is totally down to earth, so full of energy, enthusiatic and always receptive to new ideas and suggestions. He makes it a point to speak to each and every person - be it a VP or a security guard. His message to us is that no matter how large the organisation becomes, we should not lose our closeness. He always encouraged us to get together with people from other departments during lunchtime and get to know what they do. Over the past one year I've seen him lunch with a new group of people everyday. When he's at your table, it won't feel like you are lunching with the CEO. He'll talk about sports, movies and will converse about common interests.

The party started at 7 PM. There was a video played with our farewell message to him, then his touching speech where he said he was glad he'd made so many friends and would take every possible opportunity to come back here. After this the music started. Thanks to DJ Chico, the party was a blast :)

Things about David that I cannot forget:
1) He loves to stand on a table when he addresses a crowd - no mike required
2) The funny faces he made during the role play as a part of the orientation programme
3) His "bike" - the scooter, his preferred means of transport
4) Watching him jog on the ring road at 10 AM on many a days
5) When he first came to Bangalore, he was so fascinated by the autorickshaw that he bought one

He's such a great guy with a cool attitude and forever smiling .... Will miss him!
