Dear Students of Batch 20,

It’s been a great honour and privilege to be able to conduct a 2-Day Early Retirement Workshop for you.

This class may have been the most challenging class to teach, thanks to the pandemic restrictions which came into existence just a week ago. Initially, there are no restrictions to conduct a face to face class. Still, regulations disallow the serving of bento boxes in classrooms, so I had to scramble to create a half-day course focused on portfolio creation for Batch 20. On top of these restrictions,  I was trying to juggle software demos and updating spreadsheets over Zoom, which is not something I look forward to doing again.

Nevertheless, we could have a better program with more class participation thanks to allowing alumni to participate in a Refresher class for a token fee. This improvement will not be felt until we meet face to face in July or August
