He

"You are a great scholar"
  He said.
 The greatest compliment
  I could ever have in my life.
  In my mind I said "Not above you."
  I think he wanted to say "You have a good heart"
  But he couldn't say that
  So, he said a different thing.

  He was always stylish
  In his talk, in his presentation..
  While signing he held the pen in his left hand.
  He was a big man like a banyan tree.
  I used to wonder  how many hearts
  he had broken in his youth. 
    .
"You can work with the UN"
  He said.
  He always gave me big dream.
  And it was very hard to please him
  A very critical guy --So just one "thumbs up" from him
  Always lit thousands light on my face.
