When you lose your temper….
If you were to lose some valuables and cash,
You would miss them and find them quite upsetting;
Then how is it that you don’t find it reckless or rash,
When you lose your temper with much fuming and fretting?
Your temper commands a very high price,
Losing it is not very comfy and nice.
Most often you are angry with a desire to win,
But how can you do so on a losing wicket?
It is like skating on ice that is so thin,
That to hell you buy a one way ticket.
When in difficult times you stay calm,
It is as if on your wounds you apply balm.
Next time you face an adverse situation,
Or are face to face with a pugnacious man;
Try not to lose your temper in frustration,
And stay as calm and cool as you can.
Instead of losing you’d actually gain,
And avoid your wealth go down the drain.
Slow and deep breaths restore your balance,
That the other party tried hard to upset,
Through your sobriety and nonchalance,
You’d give him a lesson he won’t easily forget.
Whilst he weakens you emerge strong,
You are proved right and he is proved wrong.
….that’s not the only thing you lose.

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.
