The Consultant
They come to consult
To seek advice
Expecting solutions to all their problems.
I earnestly hear
And give advice
Provide solutions
Suggest alternatives.
Strangely,
The problems are solved.
Collection of my experiences
Is handy and I smile
To myself.
I wonder though
Why can't they read their own books?
Who taught me to tread all lonely paths
That I have traversed
All the first steps that I took
With lump in throat
And smile on face.
Never let anyone know what went inside.
When storms gathered and winds broke
Bridges collapsed and paths got lost
I wiped my eyes and walked on
Didn't wait for guides or help.
Don't even remember how I got company
Of Ghalib, Colleridge, Dostovesky, Frost.
And now this universal vision
Helps me to give advice
To those who require guides.
beautiful!
Don”t be angry with the class of consultants. After all we all r consultants in one formor the other.
And in any case the opinion of the consultant is always subject to ur acceptance.
