| About me | Teach Communicative English in my personal capacity. I reach out to students of all bacgrounds. I help them to come to grips with their communication problems. I believe that people should - in whatever way they can - try to make a positive difference in the lives of others. When one uses his/her talent to help others, the true meaning and beauty of life comes out. I am also involved with Genpact - one of the leading BPOs - as a consultant. Here also I train job seekers. I try to bring them up to an acceptable level of communicative competence in English after which they are provided jobs in Genpact. I am an outdoor person. I am absolutely passionate about nature. I try to document everything I see in the natural world in the form of Poetry. I love reading Eastern and Western Philosophy and Literature and appreciating art. I am also an avid Jazz enthusiast. I love people who are humerous and the ones with a great sense of humour. Enjoy: Listening to Jazz Reading African Literature and Western Literature and Eastern and Western Philosophy Delving into the English Language and devising new and innovative ways of teaching it to my students. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Thank you for the interest
Thank you for the interest in my works Leonard. I will send you some information as I get it, or as I create it rather. My poetry project is a book of poems titled; The Search for the Bull, after Kakuan’s renditions of the early Taoist Bulls, representing the path/steps/essence of one’s journey toward enlightenment. I’m teaming up with several artist friends of mine who will create art of varying mediums to accompany the words. I’m into the editing and layout stage of the game right now, and I’m finding it hard to leave things alone. I’m very new to poetry and I don’t have a grasp on the basics AT ALL, so as I learn the poems slowly change.
As for books to read; I guess my interest to poetry started with the ‘Beats’ and moving back from there of course it’s Walt Whitman. I can see that you’re already a fan (who isn’t?) bust as far as Western Haiku go, I have to say that Jack Kerouac wrote the book. Book of Haiku’s it’s called and it’s full of lovely little snap shots, it’s published by Penguin.
I look forward to reading more of your stuff.
Be well.
Sean
