Take your time ascertaining facts…
Good morning friends,
I am not amused anymore,
To see people having different views of the same thing.
I recall some facts about which we once swore,
And now no credibility on the table they bring.
Different people, different times, different situations,
Can lend to most things different interpretations.
My experience is that even ‘facts’ do change,
Something that we thought only to fiction.
Now I no longer find it rare and strange,
That I only imagined what I was sure was conviction.
I now keep for errors a margin,
Something that earlier I could never imagine.
With better knowledge I am not so sure as I once was,
I have now the humility that I lacked.
Now I listen, weigh it in my mind and pause,
Before I declare anything as ‘truth’ or ‘fact’.
There is a thin line separating facts from illusion,
Hence take your time before jumping to conclusion.
….things are often different from what they appear to be.

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.
