Wind Beneath My Wings.......

Those were the days of frustration and hopelessness..... I had given up living..... had just resigned on everything on professional and personal front..... but was still feeling the same drive which personifies me.... people perceived me as a tyrant and driven person.... but someone.... saw my internal struggle.... he could feel how much I was struggling to match myself to my own expectations.... and the stress it was creating within me... for the gap between my expectations from myself and my ability to match it was widening day by day..... I was completely stressed out.....

That someone special struck the cord.... the most painful cord within me.... and challenged me.... confronted me..... He said - your delivery does not match your perception of your abilities !

This caught me unaware.... I never thought someone would be able to articulate my situation in such crystal clear manner..... I didn't dislike the person.... rather I felt challenged.... and felt an immense respect for him....

Over.... next 1.5 years since we met..... he mentored me.... nurtured my personality towards objectivity and drive... to bring out the best in me.... We have had immense number of discussions.... in the corridors.... over the coffee machine..... in his office.... on the way home in his car....

An excellent conversationalist that he is.... and his tremendous ability to articulate the thoughts with right words... and focus the the real issue.... inspired me and kept that light within me glowing brighter as we interacted more and more.....

Thanks you my dear Mentor.... you are my inspiration for life..... I have a way to go.... reach the new heights... and you are the Wind Beneath My Wings!
