An Unforgettable Day with Friends

Hello friends, One of my friends retired on 31st December. To wish him well, our group had organized a party. Our office has a rest house in a village outside Mumbai. It is in Murbad, about 80-85 km from Mumbai. It comes in Thana district. To go here, there is a local train from Mumbai to Kalyan; from Kalyan, you can go here by bus or private vehicle.

Friends, this rest house is only for our employees. It has been built by our GST Co-operative Society. It has been made available to us at a very nominal price. They charge only 300 rupees per day. There is a separate charge for lunch and dinner. This is a beautiful place, located in the forest near Murbad; it is known as "Palm Village." It is a picturesque and peaceful place; one feels the peace here when he goes here. It has been built very well planned. There are many bungalows like ours here.

We reached there on Saturday morning at 11 am. After having breakfast, etc., we went for a walk in that village. After lunch, we took some rest. At 5 pm we sat outside the bungalow to chat and laugh. Then someone suggested playing cricket. We kept playing cricket for two hours; it was a lot of fun. After a long time we enjoyed playing. It was a lot of fun; our group has been together for 25 years, and today a friend is retiring.

It is a little sad, but we will always be together. This day has to come in everyone's life sometime or the other. At night we had dinner, drinks, dancing, and singing; it was a lot of fun. Today, on Sunday morning at 8 am, we started preparing to go home. From there we came to Kalyan railway station and caught our trains, and we came home.
