Don’t go searching for happiness outside….
♥Good morning friends,
He walked all over the earth,
Trying to find that golden treasure.
It would, he knew, fill him with mirth.
But to find it he lost all his leisure.
From town to town he went looking,
He crossed many rivers and hills.
At many a place he had his booking,
To obtain his desire he learnt many skills.
Finally, it became his strongest obsession,
He would somehow get it at any cost.
He would proudly display it as his possession,
So what if all else he would have lost.
Finally on a mountain he met a sage,
And said his desire to find Happiness was strong.
Imagine his own sense of outrage,
When the sage showed him he had it all along.
Don’t go searching for something outside,
That you already have within you.
It is lying there almost unidentified,
Simply because you don’t believe it’s true.
Happiness is not a bird in the sky,
That you’d capture and put in a cage,
It isn’t something that you can buy,
It is within, learn to feel it and gauge.
.…look within and you’d find it.

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.
