GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #217

This one is in lighter vein*….

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 #216‘.

Good Morning Friends,

Do you remember the days before the Internet,
Only from a close circle of people advice you’d get?
Your privacy, by others, was always respected,
Your habits, wants and beliefs were never dissected.

Nowadays everyone offers you unsolicited advice,
Where to go, what to eat and buy, at what price?
Any time you feel you are unobserved and alone,
Some suggestions or messages pop up from unknown.


As it is Whats App has made most people puppets,
Now they give you advice with blowing of trumpets,
Buy this, buy that, see this, see that, do this, do that,
You don’t do, you’re doomed; you do and you’re copy cat.

The result:
Individuality vanishes, people behave like clones,
People are controlled by their own smartphones.
Studying and analysing things have become rare,
Instant advice like fast food is here and everywhere.

Any suggestions or advice as to how to get over this crisis?

*Can’t be serious all the while!

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.
