Somavar, Moon’s Day or Monday,
Always follows the Day of the Sun;
In reflected glory it has its say,
Yet, week days begin with this one.
Lets not forget that a seven day week,
Is actually based on the lunar phases;
Going from New Moon to a Waning Streak,
With a regular cycle, on earth, it gazes.
So, this Somavar just think of the Moon,
Closest to the Earth to which we belong;
Its full glory always makes us swoon,
And we do break into poetry and song.
Happy Monday, then, to one and all,
Let moonshine always light your way;
Let its enticing and romantic call,
Make you croon, swing and sway.
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.
