For this moment I just have one wish - to hear your voice...
Your image fills my eyes...
Your voice resounds in my ears...
Your wisdom makes my mind to change to new decisions...
And my soul perceives your presence
Every time and where ever I go you are with me...and I know it...
But you are not here...
They say its a gift to have a place in somebody's heart... you have it and I don't.
To be loved is a blessing but to love without being loved back is probably the greatest punishment the Almighty can give for all our past ill deeds... for I am deprived of the basic independence of expressing my emotions..
My voice tears my throat but its sound cannot cross the lips...
My eyes weep every moment but are quickly stopped by the eyelids..
My soul is painstriken but my kneels can't touch the ground..
My heart awaits for you but my face cannot express that search...
Oh dear Almighty! What a great life I enjoy my outer feelings separated from inner soul's...life is just a drama !
And this saga of waiting still continues...

What's this all for?







This incident happened a month ago:
I was returning home in an auto. Then a sudden break was applied and I saw a pup crossing. In an attempt to save this little creature the auto driver applied breaks. But ...that puppy in a panic ran across to other side just to fall prey to another vehicle.
It was such a horrible incident that whenever I see a puppy its cries echo in my ears.
Everyday so many dogs fall prey to vehicles on highways and roads. Was it not for the blue cross policy to stop the catching of street dogs that these killings are taking place?
How can they expect dogs to be safe on streets? They might be good sniffers but remember they are very poor in eye reflexes. They cannot cross a road safely. My good advice to the blue cross people is you got to feel the work you are doing. So do one thing. Close your eyes and keep some cotton in both your ears and walk on a highway. You could easily experience the trauma faced by a dog crossing the road.
Coming to the aspect of humans. If me or some blue cross worker is bit by a dog we could empty a bulky purse and get treated. But what is the plight of a common man filling his stomach with just one meal a day?
It is not possible for them to get treatment in a private hospital and we know the efficiency of most government hospitals in India. When the population of street dogs increase they form packs and they attack with a plan. Do you know something? A pack of dogs in the Maharashtra border can attack even a lion. just imagine how much dangerous is the situation now. A dog can sense us if we are frightened. So it is the small infants, kids, old and disabled who are the most vulnerable. Because of a dog scare the poor can't prevent their kids from walking to school or stay at home. After all they have no option as they have go out to work to earn their daily bread.

Now you know how much justified it is to leave the dogs on streets.
Hence it is very much necessary now to prevent these man-dog conflicts both for the sake of 'man's best friend' and man himself.
