Be nice to people on your way up….
♥ Good morning friends,
Itis difficult to be humble in victory,
It is easier to be so in defeat.
But if you are looking for making history,
Then you don’t, with the vanquished, compete.
You grab the opportunity given to you,
To emerge as someone great.
You start a chapter completely new,
And honour the people’s mandate.
All the wrongs that the defeated did,
Now is the time to pause and recall.
Hence, on animosity you must put a lid,
And mustn’t flaunt your windfall.
God can make a pauper a king,
And He can easily do so overnight.
He can bring to earth one who’s flying,
Like cutting the string of a high kite.
….you’ll meet them on the way down too.

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.
