From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems.
This was done when a course mate, Viru, suggested that people sharing memes as WhatsApp forwards had become passé and impersonal. He suggested that we should be as personal and unique as possible.
Here is my first attempt (pics have been added only in the blog and not in the original message on WhatsApp):
Good morning Allu, Anil Chopra, Anil Kalia, Anil Koshti, Bhoj, Billoo, Bisku, BKD, Subrata Chaks, Charlie, Doc, Gaur, Krish, Malay, Manu, Milind, MM, Pat, Pops, Purvi, Robin, Saroj, SAS, Shammi, Srini, Vadoo, Vijay, Vinod and Viru.
A great day awaits you.
Some get up to wish Good Morn,
Some rise to express good wishes;
Some start the day with scorn,
Others for doing last night’s dishes.
Each one of you is unique,
The best in your own special way;
Yes, an odd ‘idiot’, an odd freak,
But deserving of an awesome day.
So, Good Morning, 46 plus 8,
I wish you smiles and cheers;
Let Love overwhelm innate Hate,
Let laughter replace barbs and jeers.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
