The Paw Story (repost)

Let me tell you a true story!

My lady love once found an adorable street dog who was about to give birth to some angels at her office premises.
Once they were born, the were gorgeous, beautiful and amazing little puppies and everybody loved them.

One day she unfortunately found out the mother to have left her body and her remains lying in the drains of her office.
Although the soul left the body, the puppies, unaware of the worldly pains assumed her to be alive while they kept feeding themselves from the long gone mother's breasts.

Within a day or two some of the puppies died of hunger and two little angels remained and my lady love decided to shelter them until they can grow strong enough to survive by themselves.

One she named Charlie and the other, Ginger. While they grew a little, one of her acquaintances adopted Charlie and Ginger stayed.

Over the time Ginger grew up lady like, learning everything she could from her mother, not by birth but by fate. Now she is ten months old and she recognises us as family, responding to every single thing we say.

Someone truly said, "If you adopt a puppy it might not change a lot about your life, but for the puppy, the entire life is changed!"

In Memory of Red

Since childhood I have always been very fond of automobiles. My childhood days didn't have good looking motorcycles, but sure did have very beautiful cars. Among my favorites, I absolutely loved HM Contessa, Daewoo Cielo and Mitsubishi Lancer. So when I grew up and when it was time for me to buy my first car, I bought a black Mitsubishi Lancer. It was the fifth vehicle I've owned by then so I called it "Mark-5". What a car it is! It was low, with a long bonnet and seat as low as if you are sitting on the ground. It's said, once you drive a Mitsubishi, chances are you won't like another car again and I genuinely believe it's true. Soon after I bought the car, I started modifying it to my taste: cannon like muffler, leather wrap door panels, upgraded ICE (in-car entertainment), etc. With time I got all the mechanical issues fixed and then got it painted to Audi red and from then, I used to call her "Red"! God she was a looker! ...

Are We Us? Or Them?

Have you watched the movie 'Cast Away' by Tom Hanks? Do you remember 'Wilson'? The volleyball he used to communicate with throughout the time he was isolated on the island? Do you think he was insane? No. But yes it means life becomes much more easier when we have someone by our side even if it is imaginary. We cannot survive alone. To remain sane we need a company, someone to talk to, someone to depend on emotionally or at least someone who will always be there to listen to what we have to say, which is why we tend to socialize with people, to build relationships, to be friends with, to bank on, to love and be loved. We are driven by an individual's characteristics like personality, intelligence, beauty, etc. But most importantly, we often tend to opt for people who we think can fill a void within us which might be due to any old relationship or any other reason. Relationship is a bond of understanding and trust and something that fulfills all the above between i...

The Damage

When we fill a glass with water, we empty a container by the same quantity. If you agree with me, you would also realise how when we build, create or produce something, we use up some resources somehow or the other, like for instance, to make furnitures or produce paper, we cut down trees; to make a house we use bricks and sand which is nothing but soil from somewhere or the other; we make diamond jewelry, we dig into mines looking for them. Similarly, in our lives we come across many people who are damaged. When we try to fix that damage, we use up our emotions, our efforts, our trust and so much more. Eventually we fill up the void in the other person's life while creating the void within us. Sometimes the person stays with us all our lives after they are fixed, sometimes they move on leaving the void behind in us. Now in situations where they stay, somehow they keep sharing the emotions, efforts and all other resources that was once used up, to support each other. However, whe...
