"One Usual October Night "


    A usual night on October 28-2011, after a nice dinner, I was thinking about what to do. Mom was in a small walk outdoors and dad hadn’t reached the nest yet. Without any intention, I came out to take a look at my mom and heard a small meow...

    Mom’s reaction was obvious: “oh! Not again” and I sensed the situation. She saw the kitty on the lawn and was trying to hide that from ‘me –the pet lover’. But does this kitty know that? It let out another desperate cry.
I got a smile over my face and asked my mom “can we have this one at least? it was desperate on my part now, as every time I faced a rejection to this request alone. Mom was confused and giving no answer she just walked in.
I got to look at that little one... it had peculiar glowing eyes with a natural eye line...which made her look beautiful. Offering her some milk I left her out...Within no time she finished the drink and came in with me.
'The new member of the family'
Dad gave me permission to keep her, but only till we find another place to throw her off. My exams were on their way, which bothered my parents. I tried my best to convince them that she won’t do any harm to my studies and to our hygiene. But after 3 days hearing all advice and criticism I handed over the cat to be tossed away, in to the wilds!!!!
That was a really tough and weird rainy day for mom, me, and of course for that tiny little kitty.

    The next day I kept on imagining the return of the cat. All I could hear was her call. In those 3 days she had found her place over my shoulders and then I felt my shoulders to be weak… a pang of strong guilt that I haven’t felt in my short but long life...
Love, affection and compassion is like a boomerang... no matter how far you throw, it will return to you rather faster.
    
    After a long one day I found her near the trench, alive! She jumped onto my hands with the same gratitude she had while having the food I had offered. She doesn’t remember her horrible stormy yesterday, she didn't look at me as a merciless creature who sent the helpless one out. All she remembered and had in mind was the love I showed and the fear of being alone.

She taught me a wonderful lesson of my life and it meant what true love is.
“True love will never remember the bad moments and hard times...true love doesn’t have the feeling of vengeance, jealousy, inhibitions, and disbelief…it will always try only to believe everything is perfect…it will cherish only the innocence of the great feeling the love!”

 



The kitty is now the queen of our little palace

    Critter talks !
    Well said ...these creatures doesnot care what we have done to them , they just love us ...unconditional love ...I am also a pet lover , but in my case dogs . So i know how it feels . There is a touching dialogue in the hollywood movie Marley & Me " ......a dog doesnot have a thing about fancy cars or designer cloths or big houses , a mere water logged stick will do . A dog doesn't care whether you are dumb or bright .....he can make you feel special . How many people can make you feel special ...."

The new start :)

“Create a blog,” a voice inside me said this while I was in meditation. Walking with a heart that wishes to share many things with the world, I always had wondered, will I be ever able to do that…      With whole-hearted gratitude to Sri.Sri.Ravishanker Ji who molded up the very great sadhana, I create this blog. Also, I would like to thank the software engineers who gave the space for the blogs and for supporting me to be on the blog list.      My mind never keeps mum for a second other than a few hours of deep sleep. She always had something to think about, dream about, wish about, and sometimes even make a drama about something or someone.  I stride more in this dreamy world rather than in the real one. My mind has endless space for all kinds of views. Any chunk of matter she liked or hated became a seed for her to nurture. Sometimes it will grow as a good tree but at times it turns out to be a parasite      Sharing thoughts a...

One Childhood memory

The onion peel... “ Do you remember the time we had that fight ?” she asked me gazing at a door.  “ Which one are you asking about, coz we had a lot of fights ”, I dint know what she was asking. Even my aunt didn’t get what her daughter mentioned. “ Which one Ady ?” aunt added on to my enthusiasm. That was a reunion of our family in remembrance of our grandfather’s death anniversary.  The day we all get to meet everyone after a long year. Grandma her children and grandchildren gather there to pray for the souls of great grandfathers, up in the sky and cook food as a feat of tradition. At the end of the day, we also maintained a tradition of having good family time and chit chats; we all sit together and talk all nonsense. It seems like to be in the market, where all merchants shout out loud to sell their own products. Here we all want to share our different stories.  Ady popped that question to me after a long family talk.  Since no one knew what she w...

Mom- The universal language

That is why they are called 'MOM'                 You wake up early in the morning to realize it's late for the last bus... You jump off the bed, take a quick bath and run to the office neatly dressed. But there goes the last bus, just when you are right at the stop. You get a cab driver to answer the call after a long try. Finally, you reach the office, rushing inside to start up your hectic schedule. Your friends accompany you to the cafeteria listening to your morning adventures!!! Gossip is in the air with work-humid in the cabin. Finishing up the day's work you reach home to toast yourself on the bed... Then there comes your mom's call. the sweet voice of her irritates you, "ya.. ya. I had my dinner.. am fine ma.. soo tired out of work, will call you later. take care bye.. "! click!... there you go into the land of dreams... At the other end of the phone, she smiles to herself. she is happy to hear her d...
