Oh Diamond! Diamond! Thou little knowest the mischief thou hast done!- These were the words Sir Issac Newton uttered when his pet, Diamond burned down his twenty years of research.Newton was calm and caring towards his dog .
It could be his inner strength,patience and humility towards his pet, but I feel it is because of the amazing relationship that we humans have with these dogs.
Times will never change, dogs and humans have been sharing a special bond for thousand of years and dogs simply don't stop to amaze us.
I don't have the luxury to say that it was summer of '69 ,but it was damn hot summer of 2009.I was walking on the road at about half past noon with sun beating down,along the shades of buildings and trees to a nearby store. All of a sudden I saw a mob gathered around a stray dog,badly injured and unable to stand.It was a sad sight,I got to know that the dog was hit on its head in some freak dog fight.It seemed all lost and I wondered the dog was in its last moments.
People rushed, brought some water and poured on it, some made frantic calls to a local vet,some brought ice slabs and started rubbing on it.Nearby store owners came running and were concerned about the stray dog's plight.The dog they just see everyday but none of them own,it had become a part of their lives.Each person had their own versions of pet name for the dog,people kept cheering the dog to stand and showed lot of affection.
The dog desperately tried to stand,but failed first up,to everyone's surprise got successful on the second try.I wondered,I shouldn't have called it a stray.It has so many well wishers.Its amazing what wonders the care and affection can do, the healing power it has.Everyone around started clapping.It was some sort of celebration in the middle, people got crazy and matched something similar to what happens when India pulls off an improbable win.It was a sight to behold and moment to treasure.
Simple things in life sometimes, brings so much of joy.The dog was back on its legs,wagging its tail ,the doggie was happy among the crowd.I got a bit nostalgic about the dog we had.It met a similar fate, but was not fortunate enough to see another day. Everytime I recollect the moments with my pet,it brings heaps of joy that has no ends.The way it used to communicate,its gestures,expressions and its presence.Anyway this particular episode ended on a happy note.
Whats happening
I had to be at Hollywood,CA at this point of time, but for this recession the project got on hold at the last moment and it's in for a bit of a delay.Recession has hit everyone's psyche these days, many wonder are we in for a great depression of 1930's.It's even got to the advertisements,Airtel making use of such a sober concept to pack it into a a wonderful, sugar coated, lovable and romantic Ad story featuring Viday Balan and Mahadavan in "प्यार में cutbacks नहीं होने चहियें" (In love there should not be any cutbacks).The Ad definitely brings smiles on everyone's face.So it all boils down to how you see it,aren't they seeing an opportunity in every difficulty.Frankly speaking , I don't see it has affected India that much, hope it stays that way.My spending never seems to stop and it's just increasing by the day.I did whole lot of shopping last month and that too just like that, just wanted to treat myself.I still see these shopping malls,complexes and markets buzzing and packed, albeit every stores have put discount hoardings.So what are you waiting for ?, go and grab the opportunity. Contribute your bit to drive away the budding recession.
Films I saw
13B - A very good movie.Nice murder mystery.
Ek - Some dubbed one,If you can digest some super-heroic stunts by a normal human being,go for it.
Fun and Masti (from the angrezz series) - A time pass comedy.
Crazy abt?
IPL , rooting for Bangalore RC ,Chennai CSK and Delhi Daredevils
