Never Forget Your Roots

Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man. But sooner or later the one who wins, is the one who thinks he can! There was an aura about Ron that day. His eyes sparkled like turquoise stones (he had bluish-green eyes) and they showed a definite intent. Ron's entry to his floor made a huge impact. Cubicles turned silent and eyes popped out from most of them. "Is that Ron.??" was the common reaction. Some felt that their hearts have been stolen while some others turned green (jealous).

He was already late, the office pick up would have left, he has to get dressed (it was dat special day), have breakfast and drive for god-knows-how-many-kilometers, and punch in before 9.. Aahh..
