Mentor



Heard the name
not met the man
Knew the other thirty nine
Not presented with an occasion
Home or Station
Year book only hook
4 lines gave an idea
Became in awe
As everyone saw
Unanimous verdict
Sheer genius
Word was ubiquitous
Delivered without prejudice
An often misused word
This time  seemed to hold
Held in great esteem
By my brother
Did ofcourse matter
Curious I became
To meet his mate
Never did
Thought it fate
Introduced finally
Interacted socially
Description was a reality
Indeed was of high quality
Took a cue
From my nephew
Personality Coach
Another facet to behold
I want to meet Manohar
My lacking had to be addressed
My brother helped getting acquainted
Felt warmth and trust
Hit it off in the first
Felt at home
Became a second home
Wanted to accomplish
My goal
Bared my heart and soul
Addressed one by one
Always on the point
Fast on the grasp
Tough In his analysis
Got me out of paralysis
Sessions were lessons
Profound to the core
Took it upon as his onus
Cheese sticks and coffee a bonus
Bike rides became exciting
Speaks volumes of the training
Thinking Perception  Perspective Attitude
Changed multitude
Eye opening sessions
Happened by the dozen
Grateful to have a brother
Who went to Xavier
Became friends with Manohar
Became my Mentor
Changed my life forever

I have been into Stock Broking in the Trading Desk, Used Car Sales as a salesman and even worked in a Film and Television Company as an Assistant Director mainly involved in Reality Shows Of late I have been dabbling in Writing. This is the first collection of my works. I am an avid film watcher and a movie and music buff. I would like to call them songs. As a huge fan of the Rock Scene of the 1970’s I have written these with the intention that they get converted into tunes and fill the air of music already existing. I have named this SONGS FROM THE HEART more…
