Dogs,our last chance

Now lets be frank, we have this huge ego that stops us from accepting we are animals too. We don't accept that we are just a part of this world.We do these stupid propaganda that we have to save this planet and stuff, we have this huge complicated ego.Pets are probably the last chance that mankind has to realize how simple life is and how simple love can be.

I have always wanted to have a dog and I'm still wanting it.I tried getting stray dogs to home secretly but I always ended up getting screwed.My relationships end on roads with stray dogs and in my friends houses with their pets.But its always been intimate.I find myself more humanely connected to pets than any human for you know they love you with all their heart for nothing more than your love and probably a piece of biscuit.

As if the 'We will save the planet' ego of mankind is not enough, we treat animals like they are inferior! Why because they aren't good with trickery? they couldn't manage a hole in the ozone layer? they can't talk? Of course they wouldn't talk back buckets of words but they do understand, I have always felt more relief in sharing things with pets than with people.There is no fake comforting or emotions.They just put their heart out frankly.Also they have a really good memory and math skills you give them biscuits from packet,get the same packet next day feed them minus 1 and they'll find out because they remember the exact count from the day before.Not that bad huh?

There is so much beauty to enjoy in a dog.Make a strange noise and he will tilt his head at angle, its sure the most beautiful thing next to a dog sticking face out of the car with his tongue out enjoying the wind and curiously observing the world.

Their expectations are less unlike people,they are just a part of your world but you are their world.We always give them very little time that's left out from our lives but they treasure them that's probably why they treasure the bone remains we throw away after eating the meat.

There are very simple things that you do that can give them a sea of happiness.Ever thought about carrying him on your shoulders? you should because he's never seen house from your height, probably from just 3 feet.Fight for him with your neighbor when they complain about or scold him.Just tell him a bye before you leave for work, give him a few seconds once you come back for he's been waiting for you next to door all day long.Ever thought how much your pet that's left back at home waits for you to come back? I think they want you to get done with your work much more than yourself.

If all of mankind had the hearts of dogs world wouldn't be so bad after all.They don't ask for much, they just need such simple things to keep them happy,if only human life was so simple?

For granted

So we live, we search and work to get things we need and of course we complain.Say we complain about our water cooler, we complain the water ain't cold enough and stuff. But hey wait a second we are talking about processed water here and where did water come from? Nah just water and we take it for granted!There are simple things,we use them everyday but we forget to appreciate them and take them for granted.

Now lets start with a pretty small thing that can make you feel embarrassed, your Pant button.Imagine it stopping to hold on to your pant when you are in a team meeting and you holding on your pant that's going down, the Marlyn Monroe pose huh?

Time.Its just amazing as to how we take time for granted except for a few like Einstein I must say.Yes 60 seconds make a minute and a 60 of which makes an hour and so it goes. But is that what time is? Have you ever thought 'What if time decided to take a break and froze?'.Of course its against laws of physics but regretfully laws of physics keep changing.

Now lets take our bodywhich does amazing things and keeps working even when we sleep.What if it goes on strike after you sleep? you'd never see next day.Well take sleep too, what if it just refused to happen? Insomnia.How bad is that now?We had all the time in the world to sleep as kids,get into work that requires you stay awake all night then we'll realize its beauty.

Its really funny to think how highly we think of our lying skills and that the whole world will fall for them.Asked my friend if we could go out for a movie this saturday night(I knew he was going out with this girl so I just wanted to get this outta his mouth) and he tells me he has a family function this saturday night. I asked him if it was after 9pm and he said yes!A family function after 9? What are they going to booze? I laughed my ass off. That lie was a shocker he couldn't make up a better reason,he just took it for granted that his lying skills were good enough to fool me.

Next comes an interesting thing that I took for granted till I had a funny experience in NCC army. Its fun to do things together with friends all right but to shit in open together? Well that's exactly what I found out about how much we took restrooms for granted.

And the most beautiful and undervalued thing,emptiness,silence.Of course its nothing special,its just nothingness.But work in a noisy factory or a woman's beauty parlor(with due respect to their ability to talk to infinity) and you will know how much we have overlooked silence all our lives.

I wonder where it started? Its so interesting to notice how much we take for granted in life? Was it the same even when we were kids when we had a question to everything people told us and we appreciated every simple beauty around? I guess so, at least for me even when I was in my preschool as I always took it for granted that the guy who sits in front of me in the exam hall will come prepared so that i can copy from him.You too took it for granted?

Today

Inspired by children roller skating in Elliots Beach

"Children have neither past nor future; they enjoy the present;
Which very few of us do" - Jean de la Bruyere

I was just walking by a skating ring where children were having their fun roller skating, it seemed like they enjoyed it despite slipping down to the ground frequently. It never bothered them after all they were enjoying it but I just paused when a parent came running anxiously to take her kid away. I could imagine the parents having fun during their childhood but would they be the same now? Would they enjoy the moment despite knowing they are bound to fall to ground?


They think too much don't they?Or should I say 'we'? Would we skate with the same enthusiasm as we would have in our childhood? Will the thought of falling which might happen eclipse our pure joy?After all life's about falling down and rising up isn't it.

"You have to wake up a virgin each morning" - Jean Louis Barrault

I wonder where it all changes, I wonder if it has anything to do with growing up, of course being careful ain't bad but being too cautious about the future is the killjoy.Are we thinking too much about what the consequences might be?Of course it keeps you safe and may be that's what is intelligence but we miss the moment we miss the fun.

Time is pretty much unforgiving, it gives us just one shot at it and once its past it remains past.Unless Einstein was right with his theory of relativity and we could travel with the speed of light or if idea in the movie 'Inception' is possible then we can live in dreams for centuries and life's long enough for you to ponder over the past and wonder over the future. But hey lets get back to reality, life is short.

"We are always getting ready to live but never living" - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Now I don't say pondering over the past or planning for the future is bad but overdoing it robs from us the beautiful today.We wouldn't wanna keep thinking too much into the future and then end up finding ourselves having a nothing past.


The past was a bunch of todays that you lived and future are the ones you will.You can make it all beautiful by,So simple ain't it?
