GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #135

Find some time for yourself during the day.

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 #134‘.

Good morning Friends,

The day is full of work and chores,
Commuting, meetings and eating;
Most of us are in offices indoors,
One’s life, like a short play, is fleeting.

There is no time to stand and stare,
We are always on a virtual treadmill,
We don’t really have any time to spare,
Like driving, without brakes, downhill.

There is no button that says ‘pause’,
It is always ‘forward’ or ‘fast forward’;
There is in it money but no joy, because,
The entire thing seems so awkward.

Sometimes or the other you’d realise,
You are more important than all the work;
If not, in future, you’d know it was unwise,
To miss out on what was life’s biggest perk.

Try it, you’d meet the most beautiful person,
That God ever intended you to befriend,
Don’t allow relationship with him/her to worsen,
Until, in your sunset years, you can’t even mend.

Finally, when all the work and crowd leaves,
You realise you’d live with that person alone;
When and if no one else in you believes,
Your trust in him or her would have grown.

It would pay rich dividends in your sunset years.

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.
