Being Human

So, finally we took the baby dog to the vet.  It was relieving to find out that he doesnt have any major medical illness, just some calcium deficiency and some worms in his stomach.  It was really a humbling experience.  As for me, i might have done it to impress someone, but Kajal was a real sport. she had no such intentions, still she did it and did more than me (That dog pissed on her as well). But she didnt complain.  This shows how great a person she is.

We all see many great people who come on television who are doing many great things, like fighting for people who are being moved coz government wants to build dam on their land, many are involved in saving tigers, some have devoted their lives for the poor and needy, some have quit their multi-million jobs abroad and are settled in a farm helping farmers, all these stories make u wonder that have u no talent or motivation or humanity within yourself that you are not doing anything.

Today, i did a very simple thing of providing a needy dog with medicines and food, but still it was an overwhelming experience.  Now, i can imagine where those great people get energy and motivation from to go beyond human capabilities and devote their lives for beings who need them. 

Humanity is a very big word in its true sense.  Most of  us, including me, dont know what humanity is all about, what is the power of Being a Human, but incidents like today make you realize that god has gifted us with immense powers.  All we need to do is to channelize it for something bigger, something better than what we are doing now.

Angel with four legs and dreamy eyes

Yesterday while walking on a road, me and Kajal, one of my best friends, encountered a dog baby, with some problems, which we were not able to understand.  Kajal's conclusion was that his front right leg is hurt and he is unable to bear weight on that.  She seemed right.  I contacted Charu, the girl of my dreams, asked her for help.  She told me to feed him some milk and see if he is drinking that.  We did so.  He drank the milk.  She suggested we take him to the vet and get him cured.  Though i myself am not that enthusiastic about taking him to the vet, but she wanted this done, so i had too.  I must confess that when i saw that poor dog baby, i felt very bad for his condition and i almost cried.  My mom says no to this, but for the last month i have made a pledge to do things which i have promised to any one to do.  So, i will take him to the vet.  I hope he gets well....

The New Me From Today

I cant tell how happy and confident i am feeling right now, the movie Julie and Julia has had great effects on me.  Though movie portrays two strong women and I am a man, still i am glad that i watched this movie.  Coz with mom being outstation, i was feeling kind of devoid of food, thinking all day what to eat and what not to eat, but I am changed now, Julia Child learnt to cut vegetables in one day by cutting veggies all night long, if she can do it, why cant i learn to make chapatis or rotis as we call it.  I am going to make chapatis until i learn to do it perfectly, and this is a pledge.
