After his annual Valentine’s Day bash was cancelled this year due to the pandemic,
Bhaichand Patel
was looking for a chance to host his friends at his home. So on Wednesday, he hosted a farewell
party
for his friend, Turkish Ambassador Sakir Ozkan Torunlar, who completes his tenure in India this year, and a welcome party for the newly-appointed High Commissioner of Fiji, Kamlesh Prakash. The gathering was hosted outdoors, in the lawns of Bhaichand’s residence.

Hosting a party after a year: Bhaichand told us that he had invited just 40 friends for a sit-down dinner at his home. “This is the first party that I have hosted after a year. This has been the longest gap between my parties. I just invited a few close friends and arranged it as a sit-down dinner so that everyone can just chat and spend a good time. I really wanted to host my friends at my home before it is already the peak of summer in Delhi,” said Bhaichand.

Farewell note: In his farewell speech, the Turkish Ambassador said that it is difficult for him and his wife to leave the country they have been in love with. “Both my wife and I wanted to visit India in 1992. It was a dream destination for us, but we couldn’t visit it then, but god had better plans. Some years later I came here as a
diplomat
and not only got a chance to visit some beautiful places here but have made friends for a lifetime. I will surely return to India for a holiday and I look forward to visiting all the places that I could not during my tenure here,” said the ambassador.
