Paw-gratitude

Walking on four, following like no other,
An unconditional love that makes it tougher.
The eyes that love with such devotion,
As he looks at me with no condition. 

He came to us the size of my hand,
A true blessing this fur baby is hard to understand. 
No expectations, just shadow me everywhere,
Something about him, I want to protect with care. 

The family struggles to get his undivided attention for sure,
A wave of a treat is sure to cheer. 
Snuggle and belly rubs that's for sure,
Gazes with such intent unwavering and pure. 

He is truly a baby in tow with me,
Carried in my arms or driving free.
The front seat, his visual throne to watch the city sights,
Or snore through the loud honking of the city traffic in day light.

An animal lover, I might be,
But my journey with this munchkin was a revelation to me. 
Grateful and blessed to be chosen to be his person,
Hoping I am worthy of his reason.

Many lives we hope to be his family for sure,
Hope everyone is lucky to experience something so pure. 
Blessed to have this unconditional joy before as well,
With my other paw mates, a different story to tell.

The forever friend!

Day 58.. ‪#‎ 100daysofhappiness‬   ‪#‎ 100happydays‬ This one was long overdue..in fact from feb onwards, but am not sure why I delayed such a valuable post. She is my forever friend, cause I have actually known her for almost forever -  Suhasini Ranganathan  whom I fondly call Su. She expresses with such warmth, she cares with an open heart, she trusts like no other and helps in any way possible. We have grown through our awkward years and built magical memories in the most simple  activities and moments. She cherishes the time gone by and always is by our side. She is the brightest I have known (with a report I still dream of) and yet appears in such simple modesty. She is the KPMG star, whose dedication is unquestionable. She is the perfect host and welcomes with such an open heart. She laughs in joy and holds dignity when laughed at. This badminton champion is a selfless Pisces woman who is true to her zodiac - creative, positive and intuitive with people...

Neerja Bhanot.. bravery in the air!

Day 93.. #100daysofhappiness #100happydays Tears were flowing uncontrollably and I almost thought that I would bawl. People around me were choking on emotion and I was sure that everyone was grateful it was dark and no one was visible. It was not just tears, but smiles too. It was not the filmy bollywood entertainment from any angle, but had a story that had to be told. Thankfully, it was a story that was narrated in perfection, had the impact that it deserved and left the audience, heart broken and motivated all in those couple of hours. While it inspired many even for a couple of seconds, it was a meaningful cinematic experience and a biopic that is lasting. My 100 days has tributes of people or experiences that are meaningful in my lifetime, so this definitely fits the criteria... a true story from my lifetime, when I was 6 years old. So here’s to Neerja – the brave heart who ruled hearts in silence. This true story took place in 1986. At that time, I definitely have...

Where's the shining star?

Day 26.. ‪#‎ 100daysofhappiness   ‪#‎ 100happydays While I have been on a roll of tributes on people in my life, I chanced upon a news that saddened me unknowingly, yet tremendously. This would have been fitting yesterday, with the many RIP's that sprung up on everyone's timeline attributed to the ever talented and heartwarming Robin Williams, but in my opinion, its never too late to share a word or two about true admiration. He is not the handsome hunk you would ogle over as a film actor but he is real, and that makes him so much more loved. Everyone loved him for his comedy, and so did I, but I loved him for his ability to make me laugh and cry at the same time. A film is complete when both these emotions have been felt and in my opinion he did a fantastic job of this. He represented life as is, and what was so enduring was that every time we laughed with his quick wit, he found a way to make us love life more. His words in so many ways, helps us with each passing da...
