Questioning Me for Being Myself

Yes, that's what I felt

When you kept me apart

That's how my heart ached

When you broke my guard

The virtual world of love and care

Shattered with the key u threw as dare

Seasons changed my brain didn't stop

For every second I had the same thought

What went wrong

when I loved u strong

What thing did I do 

To regret you through

The smiles we shared

Were that fake form of care?

Thinking and thinking 

And thinking went on

But you were not there

To put a hold on

The chaos went on

In my heart deep down

But God had made

Some other good ground

I felt weak till

I could never go below

Then he pulled me up

With all HIS glow

I regained the strength 

And never looked back

For every life

There is a purpose to hack

Gone are the days

Gone are those nights

When I was questioning

Me for being myself right!!

Tale of a Beautiful Stray !

Running on roads, acting innocent, being beautiful, dominating younger ones, full of excitement and life slowly waging tail for showing affection.

Yes, this is where this story begins from - story of a beautiful stray !

A stray who was very beautiful and who might be as young as 3-4 yr old pet. And as enthusiastic, as active as a young dog would be.

Her life was roads, traffic, too many people around, rush, chase and survive.
In all this, how she managed to look so beautiful I still wonder !

Luckily she had one care taker. Temporary or permanent I am not sure.. but he was there for her during  his working hours.

She got a shelter at his work place, which we call 'gumti', a tea stall. This guy might have shown some care and affection towards this stray for which she always used to seek shelter at his shop. His customers also never troubled her and comforted her to be fearless with them.

She started enjoying this life. She had a full gang and I have always seen her acting as a gang leader.
Oh wait.. you might be thinking when did I enter in the story. Well this short story is about that only :)

My family is very fond of animals and most passionate among all of us is my brother. One day while returning from his coaching he saw this young pretty stray playing in a street. He stopped to meet her and pet her. And she started waging her tail showing her excitement n approval for friendship ! This is how their friendship happen :)

Since then, this became a routine and one day to our surprise this she followed my brother till our house.

Trust me, our house was not so near to the place she was found !

But she followed, crossing all the traffic, all other strays who troubled her on her way and finally reached our place (which god had destined for her :) ) and we all met her, played with her, fed her too.

From then on wards she started following my brother every now and then. And used to enjoy food and that playful and loving treatment which she  used to get here.

Not to forget, then i already had Dino, a full grown up German shepherd, at my home, who used to feel too jealous of this stray for all the temporary attention she was getting.

Slowly this became a routine.

Now my brother had his 12th board exams and during this time one very interesting thing which we observed about her visit was she always used to come whenever my brother had his exam. As if she had a connection and used to come to wish him best luck ! (Just a random thought )

During this period, one of my friends, who is also very fond of animals and works a lot independently for stray animals called me and told me about a "sterilization camp " for dogs.

Sterilization is a birth control procedure for dogs which is approved and followed by gov. for keeping a check on their population.

She knew about this beautiful stray and so she contacted me for getting her sterilized.

Co - incidently as soon as I kept the call I found her right in front of our house. So me and my brother decided to go for this camp which was organized by some NGO in Indore.

She was quite during this whole process and finally got operated and we were back at home.
This was our very 1st experience of getting a dog sterlize so we were causcious and scared too.
For the reason that she used to roam in lot many areas and it was not so near to our house to keep an eye on her for next 5 days.

We decided to shelter her at our home in our porch. Because Dino would not have let her enter the house.

But things were not that easy as it seemed. She started becoming restless for the reason, she was a free bird till date and we had caged her in a way.

She used her irritations in licking her stitches n scratching, which was riskier.

So we consulted our veterinarian and he examined and gave us a sigh of relief that things were fine.. just need to apply few ointments time and again on her stitches so that it dries up soon.

This extended this stray's stay at our home for a period of 10 days. Dino also started accepting her to a limit i.e.until she intrudes his privacy !

Since that was summer time she started liking home cooler over hot sun burns on roads (after all she was a beauty queen ;) )

She started spending maximum time at our home. Slowly started entering home and was trying to take feel of being homely.

Inspite of all the goodness and pleasures at home she missed her road life, so every now and then she used to run on roads. And obviously made us run too !

Initially we allowed but then, this could have been hazardous for Dino. Because her continuous in and out lifestyle could have brought many diseases with her.

That was the day when all of our lives changed. You might be wondering if we stopped taking her in, due to all those mess. BUT no, WE ADOPTED HER FOREVER :) and gave her a forever home.

We got her fully vaccinated. And tried to train her slowly for being at home and 'not to run outside '.
But as its said.. " kutte ki dum tedhi ki tedhi rehti hai " :) so is the case with her.. she enjoys her bed, her royal treatment, her perks but still if our gate is left open she runs away to enjoy that freedom and return back in evening :)

We as her responsible pet parent don't let her run due to traffics and rush. But we assure her drives quite often and she also seem to adopt this lifestyle now.

This beautiful stray, BHURO, is with us since last 2 years. We still don't know her exact age but what matters is her affection, and her loyalty. She is a stray, a beautiful stray but she is as loving and as loyal as our DINO was.. 

# Don't shop, Adopt a pet and change its life forever. Your life will be changed too, trust me !
