Poverty

I have grown lean
my cupboards are sparse;
canned words have been eaten, digested and spewed.
Thoughts and sentences hide behind curtain and couch,
like a small child  hiding and taunting, find me if you can.
Left thin and spindly like hungry fingers grasping
sorting through,
 emptiness and poverty, frantically searching
for a clump of thought.,

. for nearly two and a half years ... i would google "communication skills ppt" ... and read all entries till page 30 or even more ... i was a communication skills trainer with a corporate ... after two and a half years ... i knew what everyone was using as content ... i knew what was out there ... all over the world ... and then i started innovating ... little by little ... and chanced upon prof noam chomsky's paper on transformational grammar ... and applied it ... while training software engineers ... in a way that was appropriate for our local context ... and developed it further ... managing to come up with some effective (original) content for english as a second language training ... have still not been able to get visibility or recognition for my work ... and i do plan to this year ... but just the knowledge of the fact that i was able to study on my own ... figure out best practices all over the world ... and innovate ... gives me an incredible high ...

. the japanese inspire me endlessly ... they spend maximum time in planning ... before engaging in any business ... and they are experts at foreseeing potential emergencies ... and devising brilliant exigency measures ...

. in short, that frantic searching is bound to be rewarding ... :) ...
