Fascination!

Salvos of cheery sighs,
Resounding thumping on the desks,
Encore, kudos & sounds that applaud bravura -
As the crowd cheers the obvious,

i sit in silence -
partly in astonishment at the wordly wisdom or the lack of it
and partly in awe of what u've managed -
with
zero pomp
minimal firecrackers
zero swearing
sans playing to the gallery
subtle undertones
elusive analyses
pleasant eccentric style
insane noises
uncanny body language
wordless tranches.

I confess, admit, concede and yield -
You charm me
Your lectures transfix me
You enchant my intellect
You (simultaneously) encroach & contribute to my space of silence

You prompt soul searching
and make everybody else seem like a garish wannabe!


On the much awaited (at least by me) end to the strategy course that reinforces yet again my faith in the BP&S course last year and the prof who made all the difference!
