GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #189

Old and New are mere perceptions…..

From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).

The last such message was:’Good Morning Message #188‘.

Good morning Friends,

Alright, back to having an old year with us,
So what if it is just one day old?
Hence, now think as to what was the fuss,
Why were we so keen to have it in our fold?
Old and New are mere perceptions,
There are, in this universe, no exceptions.

Think of, in your family, a baby who’s new born,
How long will it carry this tag? Until how old?
Should we stop calling it new from the next morn?
Or until in its nursery class it is enrolled?
Old and New are mere perceptions,
There are, in this universe, no exceptions.

We can actually put our resolutions to action,
Any day, month or moment in the year;
Every moment God gives us has this attraction,
Only momentarily new it does appear.
Old and New are mere perceptions,
There are, in this universe, no exceptions.

One can abandon old habits and acquire new,
Whenever one decides to break the cage;
Some wait exactly on the First January to do,
Others do it at any age or life’s stage.
Old and New are mere perceptions,
There are, in this universe, no exceptions.

….every moment that is new gets old!

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.
