About Retirement

Retirement marks the end of a working life and the start of time for family, travel, hobbies and rest. It is a day of thanks for years of service.

Offices hold a farewell with speeches, a cake and a gift. Families often plan a meal or a trip, and in India some hold a small puja at home.

The best retirement messages thank the person for what they gave, share a memory and wish them health and joy in the years ahead.
