Dear Upreti,
From eating at Yeti to eating at Kori's
And also eating at that cool south indian place in GP market; and Carnatic Cafe, and Triveni
And also ordering in from Chai Point and Chaayos
Or street food in Barakhamba - our entire relationship is basically built off food and I love it.
I'm going to miss you a lot when you aren't around - who else can I lunch swap with?
Who else will be down for an impromptu yeti dinner?
NOBODY. Nobody can ever replace you and when you leave there will be an Upreti sized hole in my heart that I won't even be able to replace with food :(

I love you ❤️❤️ ❤️♥️
Good luck with masters 💪 I'm sure you'll kill it and also find amazing food places (so you can take me when I visit!)

Upps......you are the only person in history to have called me "idli" and lived to tell the tale!
(Actually, you are the only person ever to have called me "idli". Sure, people have called me "mono" before (because racism), but never "idli").

I'll miss all the work sessions we had (and I never miss work), where you did all the work and I did all the food ordering (aka the important stuff). What I'll miss more is all trips we took, the crazy breakfasts and the occasional, needlessly zealous bets (we'll drink smoothies for a month, etc.). But what I'll miss the most is having someone to talk to. Someone far weirder than I ever was/could be. Someone I cloud listen to for hours at end.
And though our time together was brief, it has forever changed me (I actually get things done now :), think more deeply about things and take great pride in the fact that my wi-fi password is "NerdyNerdJr").

I wish you could stick around longer.

Goody favourite friend
Idli :(

P.s: Sarthak owes you 5 grand for the smoothie bet. Cheers.

Hello Upreti,

We have been colleagues in two different orgs. What are the odds!

So I am pretty sure our paths will cross. I wish you all the best, but I know you don't need it. You will do wonders wherever you go, for the person you are, you never quit (see the pun there?).

Anyways, it has been so cool to have known and worked with you. I am going to miss you and all the good times we have spent together.

Good luck with your future endeavours.

Namaste Priyanka,

We have had long chats and short, but never a fake one - thank you for that!

Kind, thoughtful and understated is how I have known you to be. You made the office floor a warmer and more welcoming space.

Whatever you choose to do next and whichever path you embark upon, I am glad you are moving forward. I wish for you to know that all the options are right and you'll only make better of whichever you choose. I hope you always keep your discretion and the seek for meaningful work alive.

I'd like to follow your story as you meander through your ways. Thanks for being real.

Take care and be well,
Mohit

Dear Priyanka,

I hate the fact that we have to give you a virtual farewell and a typed note vs a handwritten one. But I have a good feeling that you're probably relieved about not having to do an elaborate in person CSF farewell in the cafeteria :D

I'm going to really really miss having you around. While I first met you in 2016 at institute, I think it's only at CSF where I really got a chance to get to know you better. You were always my go to person whenever I wanted to bounce off an idea, was feeling stuck about something or just needed someone to vent to and as always you managed to figure out some creative way for me to fix whatever it was that I was dealing with.

I'm always going to remember you for being so authentic and true to yourself in each and every space you're in. It feels strange to see you leave and not be able to say bye the way I'd imagined. I'm going to miss you immensely and I'm really hoping we stay in touch and our paths cross again :)

I hope policy school or whatever else is next for you is everything you want it to be and more.

With Love,
Niharika

While we've known each other for the past two and a half years, it was only in the past few months that we actually worked together and connected over mutual work struggles ;) I consider myself lucky to have not missed an opportunity to get to know you for the beautiful person that you are, before you left.. Wishing you all the success, joy and happiness as you embark on a new journey.. Will miss you and our conversations at work.. :)

Love and virtual hugs,
Sherene :)

Hi Priyanka (the colleague),It's your last day today, and it's difficult to believe it. I have been at CSF for longer, but it feels like you have made it home more than it is to me. Now, before you start chuckling at that statement, let me clarify - the number of friends you have made at CSF, the number of people who feel comfortable in confiding in you, and the number of people who blindly can put their trust in you no matter what speaks volumes of how this place is home to you. I know you have had a rollercoaster 2 years here, but I have seen you grow as a friend and as a professional here. You exemplify the best that is there at CSF, and that people over processes matter here. You make me believe that more than the fancy slides, and presentations, CSF has a heart - and that is people like you who put in their heart and soul in what they do.Thank you for being a friend and advisor when I have felt low and questioned my existence in the org. Thank you for being an inspiration and setting that high bar at work that you do. Thank you for just being there for me all these years as a colleague. It's difficult to imagine doing anything without you by my side, and I must have some really good karma to deserve that.I hope you leave the org, believing in yourself more than you did when you came in. Because I will forever be a fanboy of your work and your smarts. I know and believe that you'll reach extraordinary heights professionally, and I will always be there cheering for you.But more than anything, I will sorely miss you. Tussi naa jao

I cant't believe you are leaving, Priyanka. It feels like I have known you forever.
CSF was intimidating; and to say that you have always been immensely inspiring and supportive would be an understatement. I am forever grateful:)

I am sure you'll keep slaying wherever you go! All the best, Priyanka. Still banking on the hypothesis. haha!

Upreti,
I trace back our friendship to that eventful retreat of 2018. Finding comfort in looking for your lost eye drops, by bunking the sports activities (lol) really laid the foundation of this friendship.

Besides the fact that I have learnt so much from you, you have been one of my closest at CSF- so much so that I made you hug me when you left for home last year. LOL.

This last year and a half, you have been my safe space; we've found joy in missing out, talked about our lives, and shared our apprehensions (there are so many).

I'm so grateful I have known you as a person, and as my friend. I wish we could do an impromptu trip before you left commemorating all our Gujarat fails, but hey- we always have e always have Boston, UK, NYC, Assam, Hampi-

basically all places that require airtravel

(Truth is im gonna miss you like crazy, maybe I'll even cry- scratch that I will cry- but for now im pretending to be upbeat about this)

HUGS *lelz*

I am going to miss your face at work and also our persistent efforts of scheduling a catch up.  I absolutely love how you take out time to keep a check on everyone around you. Thanks for doing that for me as well when I joined CSF:)  You were one person whom I could trust and discuss any of my challenges! Thanks a lot:)

Want to end with the regular one but feels that you need it too :) --- Jaa simran Ja, jee le apni Zindagi :) Finally, all by yourself :D

Much Love,
Prachi

Going to miss having you around in office and near home. Thanks for being a familiar and comforting space at work. Lots of pending items to tick off our list and lots of ghee roasts at Sarvana Bhawan waiting to be devoured! Hope to see you really soon.

Good luck and love! :D

Thanks for those small conversations about our love for Chai and Hindi and hearing out my diet  stories. You have been a comforting friend who could be reached out anytime. Wish we had an opportunity to work together. Wish you all the best for your future and do stay in touch.

From that induction on Varnsamuha approach to all the tips on taking it easy at work - you have been of great support throughout. It has been an absolute pleasure working with you! Keep well and stay in touch.

Best wishes
Ratul

P.S.: the food-walk at C.R Park stays due until next time :D

We have had some fantastic memories- right from it raining everytime we decided to share a cab home to going through the torturous application process. I have felt a kenship with you that I will always cherish.

Looking forward to seeing you on the other side :)
