Another round of farewells.

It's yet another round of farewells at my workplace. Three of my boys are moving out - two on retirement and one on transfer.

I've seen these boys at close quarters and have come to like them for their simplicity, dedication to their work and the will to never let their leader down. Biju and Sajeev are starting their second innings on a very competitive civvy street. I've told them to abide by the truth which eventually wins however much the temptation might be to appropriate wrongful means. And the golden rule is that the new jobs that they take up should give them happiness and contentment.

Of the two, Biju has just walked out of the hospital after a couple of episodes of epilepsy that had shaken him, a fortnight back. The reason has not been identified despite a host of tests that have been done on him. His job options, therefore, have narrowed down completely! Sajeev, on the other hand, is looking after his wife's father who's suffering from bone cancer.

The third person moving out on transfer, Balraj, happens to be my 'saarthi'. His conduct, behind the wheel, has always been good as he drove the Gypsy with a fair amount of caution on the mad roads of Kochi.

I wish them luck and happy hunting in their new environment and sincerely hope that they retain their naivete however harsh the calling is gonna be.
