The Fairy
Posted on Aug 17, 2009 under General
Yonder ,beyond the gates of heaven,
Find her,the fairy, loveliest of all;
Fluttering her glittering wings wide apart,
Must be the angel of love, well ,true love.
A Fairy, you know, the fairest of all,
Softer than the clouds,finer than silk;
Purer than Crystal,sweeter than honey,
She dwells in all hues,that Rainbows, envy;
She sings all day ,and sparrow turns green,
she skips and hops around your garden;
Making flowers bloom, and air fragrant,
Don't blame her if you're lost in a trance;
She sits by your side, melting your ears,
with sweet nothings, dreams and fantacy;
Behold, be gentle with her,and never ever,
Make her cry, and if she does ! Well;
Heavens shall spit lightning on you,
Mother Earth shall split , a thousand quakes;
As the fairy, as a fairy is dearer to GOD

Mourning on a mongrel

Mourning on a mongrel Part I
It was just another lovely evening , the sun about to take its plunge into slumber on the lap of the mother Earth, the golden waves lapping rythmetically and singing lullabies how serene?
We were taking a curve near our home, when suddenly a neighborhood dog started barking at us. Then suddenly it reminded us of our pets, Oh ,the first one was a Dobermann, Pluto, and it was sure very naughty ,teething on the mud flaps of the new car, and the floor mats of the scooter. Shout at it, beat it , it wont budge an inch, and it consumed three sets of the rubber parts of the expensive car.when it grew one and a half year old, it became unmanageable and we gave it away to a good Samaritan.
Then we got our lovely Labrador, creamy white fluffy tail and so cute that one will hug it a thousand times., It was a smart dog , but a tad bit greedy.This also we kept for more than a year or so and when we couldn’t groom it properly we gave it away to our driver, who virtually eloped with it!!.
Then we had one Alsatian,(bobby, ) which was a weakling by birth, poor thing did not live more than three months or so and died of some ailment. We wept and wept for days together, on its bereavement.
Ultimately we decided to have a stronger breed and settled for a Rottweiler, (Rambo), which when it grew up with the Labrador, became so docile and friendly unknown for its breed and it was a real surprise for the attending Vet.,who really freightened us narrating all sorts of horror stories about Rottweilers !!! We parted with it when it became so strong and nothing could stop it even the strongest of leashes.It must be somewhere around I wistfully hope!!!
Oh all those pets, now, not with us, some strange feeling of sadness clouded our minds hearing the dog barking at us,, we have to have one more dog,,
As we negotiated the curve, lo, a white puppy came running from nowhere, and Appu as if by instinct picked it up and held it close to his bosom. I will keep it, it is mine, it came after me,, look at it, it is my bunini, (Labrador) born again,
No dear, it is a mongrel, look at its tail ., I pouted, its tail was really shooting up like a sickle, undulating incessantly, and the poor thing started licking appus cheeks, “no nnooo bunini I had taken bath twice today,,,”Appu resisted.
It was a surprise to all at home, oh, a mongrel ,,, of all dogs, not again,,throw it away, shoo , shoo… appus mother was yelling her head out.
Appu ran to the backyard, still holding his prized possession close to his chest, He is inconvincible, and would never relent,.
Well, let him keep it, it will run away in a day or two , I consoled.
The next day, Appu did not attend school, despite the severest of warnings flung at him in the wee hours of the morning, by his mom, he squirmed out of his covers and ran out and disappeared in no time.” Oh this boy will never learn, he has heavy wheezing, and at night he does not get a wink of sleep, with this dog I don’t know, what is in store, Rama..Rama.”
Appu was in another world, he was trying to give small lessons to the puppy, which reacted with full zest and vigor, but not learning a thing, except to show its love by licking, slurping and wagging its slender tail and jumping around in circles around appus thin frame.
In the evening we had to go to the nearby doctor and also the temple, so for a change we left on foot, and the evening air was soothing, Puppy was asleep near a papaya tree on the frontyard, when we left.
After the visit was over, appu was complaining of leg pain, as we walked more than 4 kilometeres, and it was strenuous for the little child. We returned by an auto, and when about to reach our home, we found a small animal lying in a pool of blood on the middle of the road.I asked the auto driver out of sheer curiosity, “was it a kitten or a puppy?”
“a puppy sir” he retorted.Several gory images flashed in my mind for a second, I prayed .But to our utter agony, we reached home not to find our dear puppy waiting for us.,
It might have shadowed us when we left and could have been hit by a vehicle.,,?
Thinking of the selfless and real love of the little animal, our eyes inundated with tears, what could we do but cry ,cry and cry
