I have always written what ever came straight away from my heart,I just can't make up stories,or give a lecture on spirituality or religion,for I am not that aged and my knowledge is less too, but the number of increasing mails in my inbox made me realise that its high time that I should write ,so this timeI have decided to write a true story, from my own life....a story about my two rabbits Kaju and Barfi.,I had named them so because that is my favourite sweet,and they were as sweet as well as cute.I had bought them from a pet shop,they were a few weeks old,too tiny,too small.and could not eat properly,from that day I became their mom,I fed them,took care of them,gave their first bath etc and they became very fond of me within no time,they played with me,could recognise me and my touch and my smell too.I brushed them,powdered them,pulled them back when they tried to run off,they were my bundles of joy,they changed my life completely.One fine morning,while they were playing with each other,I suddenly heard a shrill cry,even though Barfi was alive, he was stretching himself a lot I rang  the  vet,who asked me to come immediately and I took Barfi and ran to him.The doc. declared him dead,I was so surprised, but  he was alive when I brought him ,he died in my arms and I could not make out?how come?and why should a healthy rabbit suddenly die?I had no answer.............I cried for days,then as time heals,everything became normal once again....................months later I was left with a gorgeous girl rabbit a full grown one,as beautiful as ever.I still was her best friend,as soon as I called her she could understand,she would jump on my lap and I would cuddle her,she was my world...........................One day a small boy from the neighbourhood came to play with her,she was unwilling and  did not want to play,and made a weired noise,I was surprised,days passed,she became quiet and did not show much interest in eating up the plants of my terrace .Later one day,my brother who often played with her,showed me the signs of Kaju's nails,she had attacked him and bit him too,I was scared,called the Vet,who found her to be healthy and physically fine,but asked me to buy a male counterpart for her company.I went and searched for a he-rabbit ,a full grown one,as she was,but failed to get one.One of my friend then informed me that there was a Pet Library,which  accepted  pets if donated,I  immediately nullified it, no I could never imagine life without her,she was my life,how could one part with it?but she said that Kaju would be well fed,cared,treated,and most importantly,she would get company, many of them,or else she will be more furious.Later at night I too realised that she felt lonely,after Barfi's death she was actually left with no kin,I had no right to go against nature,I decided to donate her,for her happiness..

The day came when she had to go,I gave her a bath,she did not try to run away like other days,as if she understood that she had to go,I tied a red satin ribbon on her neck,my last gift to her,she was mlik-white and she dazzled,she was on my lap all along we went to the Pet Library.I was asked to do certain formalities,while their Vet examined her,they found her healthy and fit,she could be donated...........for ever.I requested them to give her to me all for the last time,they obliged and asked me to go and put her in the huge cage myself,  I felt her in my arms,so soft and fluffy,I had brought her up with great care,while puting her down ,she did not want to go,she was climbing up towards my shoulder,as if begging not to put her here,I could bear no longer,forcibly put her down and ran without looking back.I could not sleep the whole night,remembered the day when she came to my house,how naughty she was,how she ate from my plate.I went to see her the next day itself,she was not there,it was a library,so she was given to a member for a week,it was terrible to realise that she did not belong to me any more.After a week,I went and found her,she could recognise me,my touch and my smell,we both were pleased to see each other and time passed.......Today my little angel is a mother of four,she is happy,has a companion too,I was happy for her,she has a complete life,the way nature wanted it to be.

SHE DOES NOT REMEMBER ME ANY MORE.

HAPPY HOLI TO YOU ALL DEAR FRIENDS, MAY THERE BE LOTS AND LOTS OF COLOURS ALL THROUGH THE YEAR. MAY THIS HOLI BRING  JOY HAPPINESS AND PEACE IN ALL YOUR LIVES.PLAY A VERY SAFE HOLI,WITHOUT FORCING ANYBODY TO PARTICIPATE, KEEP AN EYE ON THE SMALL KIDS.

Just now I received an sms from my friend, he was wishing(?) me for this day as well as reminding me about the preferential treatment that we get ,he also asked me that how doI plan to celebrate Manhood?I was shocked to hear it, especially from a so called "educated" , "sophisticated"and a man of  high society ,who thought that both the sexes were equal!!!.Celebrating Manhood? well since my child hood till the present date, I have only seen Manhood, and only Manhood   to be celebrated.I have seen families celebrating when a son is born,have seen the pale face of a mother when she delivered a baby girl,she was scared of her in laws......what would they say 'cause they wanted  a GHAR KA CHIRAG,I  read in the news papers every other day about baby girls thrown away and baby boys exchanged,a son is welcome to this world with open arms and a daughter is "mom's helping hand" Such is the case that we need a special woman's day ,wow thats great!Even this  day could not bring any changes  to the lifestyle of this race,specially in the backward classes  and the villages of our country.A girlchild is supposed to get up early in the morning, to make the tiffin for her brother, who would go to school,she is the child labour, working all the day  and simultaneously cursed because money for her Dahej has to be also accumulated .She is left uneducated, ignorant and helpless to struggle all her life.If anything happens to her, either her husband remarries or  he dies, she is left with no other option but to join the flesh trade for her survival.She is molested by the other male family members,or people outside the family, but when  she reports it,she is the one who is blamed, not the MAN who has molested her.Even  today the victim of a rape kills herself, but the rapist roams freely in our society .Only some seats in the busses ,or jobs for a few is not enough,education for every female child should be compulory,those who denies them, should be seriously punished.Health should also be taken care of,only a healthy mother can deliver a healthy child....the future of our country.Every woman should have the choice  to marry when they want, and after marriage they should decide when to have a child and how many.We see the lucky urban females and the independence that  they enjoy,but those who are born to the poor,uneducated and backward families, they suffer the most.it will be a real WOMAN'S day only then ,when each and every woman ,will hold a pen in her hand.

If this was the reason for which all the freedom fighters faught, I am sorry to say, that they really faught for a very wrong reason, a reason, that they could have easily ignored and overlooked and lead a happy life with their family and friends.They dreamt of an independent India  where there will be no sign board as "DOGS AND INDIANS NOT ALLOWED"The regional bias that is spreading so fast in our country is  surely unfortunate.We  still kill our  brothers and sisters like cats and dogs for no reason at all, in the name of religion, and now, this regional bias has entered our lives.Political parties for their own vested interestes are utilising the common man as a medium of violence.This should  urgently stop,or else in no time their will be another East India Company to rule us for God only knows  how many years .This country belongs to us,we Indians have the right to live in any part of our country.This whole thing is entirely a political trick but if it is not stopped immediately , this will take hundreds of lives that is for sure.With folded handsI pray to  you all , ask your soul,is what ever happening , happening for the betterment of our country? or is it pushing us backward?we are  a peace loving race,let us all live in peace.

yes !!!!!!! india has done it again, may be by only 9 runs.......but who has actually scored the runs??????? no yuva :)  but our very old super man TENDULKAR, yes he is absolutely a yuva, an evergreen yuva,recently was redeculed by some critics(????)may such yuva players bring all the glory for our country.GOD bless him.

again the summer has arrived,just a few days back we were chilled by winter,well this is nature,every season has its own flavour,and the flavour of summer is mango.i simply love mangoes:)

its absolutely right to be called as the king of all fruits.summer is also known for the high electric bills

still, i can endure it just for mangoes' sake. this season gives relief to those who sleep on the roads,those who can not afford a bucket of warm water,prays for this season.though at times it becomes tough ,still i am glad it has arrived.

First of all hi!!! to everyone,i was away from you all for a long time, for some very personal reason i had to go out of town, i myself have missed the rediffiland,just to say that i will write regularly,thanks to all my friends who wrote to me,who waited for my blogs,i always write from my heart,what ever it may be ,but i believe in what i write.i take this oppurtunity to thank once again,thankyou for showing your concern,sorry i could not write individually,hope you all will understand,wishing you all a BELATED HAPPY NEW YEAR. good luck and god bless.

Its festive time folks, come on let us enjoy ourselves,winter is approaching, its time for Xmas,New year etc.Children are so happy,their winter holidays are knocking the door,Papa and Mummy will take them out for picnics,woollen garments  are all washed and kept ready to be worn.Happiness is all around.But some children are not happy,they donot have loving parents, nor proper  woollen garments,neither do they have picnics to enjoy.They are child labourers they work all through the day, in factories, tea stalls, or our own homes,they send money back home so that their poor parents,brothers, sisters etc get food.Come,let us start helping their families so that these children have a proper childhood,let all the children go to school, enjoy themselves in  a picnic .We can surely   make this world a better place for them to live in,so that every child celebrates the children's day in a school, in their own homes, and ofcourse with their families.
