How many roads
The season for rewards is here. Yesterday the SBU head, who had come down from Chennai, was addressing the team. The names of a few associates getting promoted were announced, most of them my team, with the intention of cheering them up. Some were happy, some others sad. Some could conceal, some others could not.
A boy who had not walked as many roads, but lost no opportunity to sing the protest song, was named a man. A white dove was given a shore to rest. This dove still does not seem to have found the sand to sleep. I hope she does not sail the wrong seas and end up hurt. Earlier in the day, I had a chat with her and quizzed her about her wishes. I think she did not really get my message. Even if she did, she has her sight on different shores. I can only give her wings now, and hope the winds carry her to the shores I want. Two members have not yet received their rewards. I owe it to you guys.
Some men still walk down many roads, waiting to be called men.

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
