I am not much of an animal lover. My child is.
From the time he was just a baby in the cradle, he is fascinated by animals.
Anything from a small ant to an elephant bring joy to his bearings. As you all know, you can easily find all sorts of animals on Indian roads. The more visible are the Cows, pigs, dogs, cats, mouses, hens, cocks, goats and horses. The less visible ones are elephants, sheeps, monkeys and camels.
For more information, watch ANIMAL PLANET.
Afterall, Why should i be the only one who is made to watch Animal Planet day in - day out?
My son terrorises me by not taking in a morsel of food without Animal planet.
More than often, i also end up eating my food, watching a bunch of lions tearing apart a deer!
So for more info about any type of animal and their habits, Contact me!
But when it comes to taking in a living thing as a pet, me and my kid turned out to be losers!
First i kept a few plants, all of them died within a month.
Second i got my kid two gold fish, both of them died in 15 days.
Next i got 2 parrots, they both flew away in a week's time from the cage.
This year am planning to gift my kid, a Dog for his b'day.
O' this time i really hope our luck changes towards our pets!

Truly yours
Its great to recieve some response to my blogs.... i thought nobody visits them. So thats the reason why i had poured down all my true thoughts. Had i known that someone's going to read them, i might not have been so down to earth...hmm...more like down the drain type! he he...
i might have typed down some cheerful stuff...some really crazy things i have 'not done'... projecting as 'done'. dilli waali hoon akhir...!! :))
Afterall, life is all about meeting new people, experiencing new dimensions, going beyond your limits. May be there will be time for me to do all that. Right now i am just a mommy, who is engrossed in taking care of a child, bringing him up to be a good citizen of a country i truly love.

First attempt at blogging
Well...I'm here... finally. Created a blogging ID. Started to blog. Wanted to start it a long time ago but...lazy meee... Y'day my mom suggested me to blog about some issue... she's 55.... she knows about blogging... mmmm...and here i was, thinking that blogging is the 'gen-xyzee thing'...
The issue that's been pricking me for some time is about a DOG.....!!
I live in southern india.
Just a few blocks from my place there's a family, recently returned from the US of A.
Apparently most of the family members are born in the US and they have returned to India so as to bring up their child in indian culture/tradition...or what so ever.
Well.... along with them came a dog too... "A Saint Bernard" .....!!!!!
The first time i saw it walking down the street[that was the first time i saw a saint bernard in person....in dog-person], i was amazed.... it was sooooo beautiful.... soooo huge.... sooo lovely. It literally took my breath away.
And then over the months i saw it slowly deteriorating....
A small garage cum room was set up for it...with no air conditioning... just a smal fan fixed up somewhere. I thought a dog this size ...A dog like Saint Bernard needs a cold climate to live and flourish. Not South India....!! For sure...anybody could see that, its simply wasting away. Why??!
Finally today i took up this subject with the granny of that house. And she told me that since the family took the dog as a pet, they din't feel like leaving the dog in the US while shifting.
Then the next sentence she said took me by real surprise.... they think, i quote "let the dog die here if it has to, rather than to leave it back".... and it is DYING... Is there any dog owner agreeing to this thought process??? Oh i feel pity for the dog from the bottom of my heart. Its not able to walk properly... and mind you, its not even 4 yrs old. I read somewhere that the lifespan of st. bernard is about 8-11 yrs. Is it the love for the dog that made the owners to drag it to a hot n humid climate?? or is it just to avoid the inconvinience or expence or what so ever that could have incurred if they had to keep the dog back home????!!!
Will you love someone so much that you will let him suffer with you rather than to let him go....
i hope not...
