♥ Good morning friends,
Things happen at a particular time,
You can’t hasten them, no matter what you do.
You’d see that for no special reason or rhyme,
Sometimes you can’t let your plan go through.
And then suddenly everything falls in place,
Of your disappointment, there is no trace.
It is the same with people in your life’s train,
Everyone you meet has a definite purpose.
Some may board to give you joy or pain,
Others may be there just to make you nervous.
Try your best, they won’t change,
Something that you think is strange.
Of course, many things you can alter,
But there are many that defy your control.
Before you can call each one a defaulter,
Just examine what exactly is your role.
Let things and people be as free,
As you in your thoughts want to be.
Happy is the one who let them be as they are,
Recognising the limits of his or her control.
He is the one who avoids getting a scar,
By not making changing these his life’s goal.
So be at home with people and things,
And don’t control them with your mind’s strings.

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.
