What A Dog Teaches

Thought of capturing this so that I can revisit this again :)

A dog teaches us a lot of things, but we never seem to take notice. These are some of the lessons you might learn…

· When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

· Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

· Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure   ecstasy.

· When it’s in your best interest, practice obedience.

· Let others know when they’ve invaded your territory.

· Take naps and stretch before rising.

· Run romp and play daily.

· Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

· Avoid biting, when a simple growl will do.

· On warm days stop to lie on your back on the grass. On hot days drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree.

· When you’re happy dance around and wag your entire body.

· No matter how often you’re scolded don’t buy into the guilt thing and pout. Run right back and make friends.

· Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

· Eat with gusto and enthusiasm, stop when you have had enough.

· Be loyal.

· Never pretend to be something you’re not.

· If what you want lies buried dig until you find it.

· When someone is having a bad day be silent, sit close by… and nuzzle them gently.

Ferrari – Get Set Go…

Last weekend while I was driving, petrol indicator indicated approaching to empty fuel with yellow color. There was shell petrol bunk nearby and as soon as I parked my car for filling up my tank, a boy approached me with pamphlet on his hand. I scrolled down my car glass to check out what he was holding in his hand. He asked in polite voice “ Sir are you interested in buying Ferrari model cars?”, I was surprised, then I recalled this was mentioned by my BIL sometime back and even I was curious to have them. I just could not make it then, thinking the offer may not be valid now, so I had just left out. So after hearing from him again, I decided to go for all the Ferrari model cars which I missed out earlier. Now I can say “I am proud owner of Ferrari cars” ;).

Chaah nahin

They say childhood memories are golden memories for the lifetime. What you experience during the childhood you will always cherish those moments for lifetime and what you’ll learn will always remember for the life time. One such beautiful poem “Chaah nahin” written by Makhanlal Chaturedi always ring a bell in my ear whenever I go back to my childhood days. This is one of my favorite poem remained forever.

Chaah nahin main surbala ke
Gahanon men goontha jaon,

Chah nahin, premi mala mein
Bindh pyaari koa lalchaaoon,

Chaah nahin, samraaton ke shav
Par he hari, daalaa jaaoon,

Chaah nahin, devon ke sir par
Chadhoon bhagya par ithalaaun

Mujhe tod lena vanmaali
Us path par dena tum fenk,

Matribhumi par shish chadhanen
Jis path par jaayen veer anek

~ Makhanlal Chaturedi
