Ah, is it just a speck?
An insignificant fleck?
But, could it be so grotesque?
So as to be in a story Kafkaesque?
Or may be in theatre burlesque?
Lets just do a check:
Is it a mere stain on deck?
Or perhaps a smart Aleck?
A veritable pain-in-the-neck,
Who is not worth a peck?
What the heck, it could be a wreck,
Found whilst out on a trek.
So, from afar, when you see a speck,
Please just go closer and check.

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.

Is any speck just a speck? Or are all specks immense abysses that we are too big to see the fine details of?
Thanks Stan; you got the point; that’s why I advertised the poem as “kiddish” since looking at things with childlike innocence is a virtue that we let go in very early stages of life.
I was trying to make all kind of rhymes with “speck” to write a nice comment but guess I don’t have your talent with words 🙂
