Love shared is love multiplied....strike a deal with love...

It was during that golden time of my childhood when we were living in a small house in a colony, at our native place Hassan,Karnataka in south India.
Though our houses were small and our status lower middle class ,we were still a happy lot.There was something that kept ours souls alive and content,the same thing amiss in our lives now,even after being successful,growing well financially and having everything in life.Our souls are deprived of the happiness and contentment.

The neighborhood was small and was always crowded with people, children, cows, buffaloes etc.
Once while playing outside on a sunny day,I heard a whining sound from the corner near the cow shed in our colony.Thats when I spotted this helpless creature,a dog which looked very frail and hungry.As always my emotional side took over to help that poor life and I rushed into my house to check if I can get her some food.I asked my mother to give me something to feed the poor creature. As sensitive as me in such matters,she gave me some rotis and rice without much interrogation. I immediately ran to the dog and put the food in front of it.It was all excited and that could be felt with its action..of wagging its tail and pouncing on the food almost instantly.It gobbled down the  food happily in no time.Then I offered some water in a coconut shell..which she drank thankfully.

I really could feel its happiness and there was this unexplainable feeling inside,when someone gives you water when you are really thirsty,and food when you are starving to death.Water and food are other forms of god himself,and that's why should never be disrespected nor wasted.People who have experienced hunger can only relate to that feeling.

Something was really magical at that moment..there was a sense of gratitude as a dog naturally has..but there was also this undeemed affection which I could spot in its eyes.It was happiness multiplied on my end,as I had the opportunity and ability to fill a starving stomach..

It was an emotional bond which developed in no time between us..which made me realise after sometime in my life ,that animals are more sensitive than our fellow humans to our gestures and actions.They appreciate and reciprocate to a human's emotions much easily and sincerely..we don't have to try hard to impress those pure souls, like we need to with other human beings..

From that day,she started to follow me and even my mother wherever we went walking,be it shops nearby,school,park..as a protecter,a body guard.She used to come and lie down there till we finished our shopping,work..and then used to follow us back..used to guard our colony,barking at every new face entering the compound.Safety came automatically.Whenever hungry, she used to come and scratch on our door with her legs, I used to go and feed her with whatever I used to have at that moment. Occasionally, I used to caress her forehead like a mother does to her child and she used to love it. After all who does not love to be loved and cared for. All creatures created by the almighty crave for only one basic thing apart from food, i.e. love.
Over a period of time, she gave birth to half a dozen pups and almost 3 of them were taken by different people around, one died beneath a moving vehicle, rest were with her..

Then as time flew, we had to shift to a different house and my studies also took more importance and time. but she used to visit our new house also which was quite nearby. I was anyway not allowed to keep her inside, as ours was a very orthodox family and keeping such pets were restricted,though I was allowed to interact outside with her. Anyway I also felt she was free outside than binding her with chains inside a human shelter.

Finally, as time progressed and life moved on with different priorities I somehow didn't pay much attention to her everyday... and slowly over a period, she also vanished sometime, somewhere with her kids...not to be seen by anyone.. But that phase of my life is etched somewhere in my memory, where in I shared a special bonding with my lovely, special, unique and the most faithful friend I have ever met till now.

I believe the emotions an animal carries for its caring owner is purely love, the purest form of affection. where there is not even a trace of jealousy, hatred, ego, there is no expectation, criticism... no negativity.... and it is beyond any worldly relationships that we boast of...
It's more than magic.. it's a mystery which cannot be solved..!!!

Love to my  friend wherever she is.. whether here on this earth.. or at her original home in heaven..!!
All my inner soul tries to communicate to her is "Meet me at the doors of the heaven after a few Years dear friend, as I might as well come there as having a wonderful friend like you is nothing less than a virtue to reach there.."

A child's upbringing...!!!is it only a mother's job???

The mother plays with my kid keeping her engaged as she did the rest of the day, while the father watches some ridiculous debate on some racial comment made by some stupid minister on the idiot box called t.v , browsing something on his phone every now and then.. smiling at some useless forward on his whatsapp , lying down on the couch...

This is a familiar picture in most of the households I suppose. Men I tell u...!!!!kids are just not their cup of tea when it comes to relaxation after a tiresome day....and they don't want to be disturbed. All the promises taken in the initial days while a woman bears a child that the child's upbringing will be a collective effort, in reality will be a far fetched dream.
All their patience, affection goes for a walk when the child gets cranky or shouts/cries even for a minute. The kids should be smiling, laughing and giggling with good health to spend a few minutes with fathers.. or else it's just stay with your mother or why don't you take him/her somewhere, while I peacefully lie down.

Now that we women are never tired or at least we will/should never admit that we are tired...as we are anyway all the time at home RELAXING. And face no CHALLENGES as the brave men at their ever-challenging work!!!
With this kind of a picture being portrayed in almost every household or say at least most of them, the least men can do is really do a self introspection on whether they are true to their other roles other than their professional life.
And the bitter fact is that no one or no debates on the issue can change ones mentality, and time is the only hope. Only time should make them realize that there is a family working behind their successful marathon of life. A little time spent on analyzing the life of their soul partners will make them a little aware of a woman's life, the tougher challenges that she faces, dynamics she handles everyday at home and outside, the untold feelings she has.., the hidden desires she possesses .. that beautiful dream she endures....!!

A few words of appreciation now and then, a little me time with kids, making a cup of tea for the tired creature at times will make the life a more smoother ride on the rugged journey of life. Doing things at least once not for oneself, but for the poor soul, who is constantly on her toes to make the man feel comfortable and happy throughout.
Unfortunately, We don't have appraisals at home and neither any promotions..!!

All that a woman carries on her strong shoulders can never be managed by the flimsy egoistic personality of a man.. never ever can he do the things she does....the roles she plays, juggles and endorses so calmly.. No, he cannot even come closer...!!
For a man, a day ends at night as he sleeps peacefully, while for a woman though the nature takes care to put her tired body to rest physically ,her restless mind will be active planning her duties for the next sunrise..

Make the men take a woman's role for a day...no no.. wait...that I think maybe its too long...say half a day....they will surely run away into a state of insanity and depression...they just cannot do it...!!
The absence of a woman for just a day will make their life a total wreck ,and their being as just meaningless and void. They will find themselves as losers.
oooops..sorry if I hurt anyone's ego during this process of playing a representative of the poor helpless kinds striving hard to express themselves and their heartfelt feelings. but who fail to nail it into their partner's brainy skulls..

Lastly, a Sincere request to all the men out there: appreciate the people(especially your wife)behind the show..  because no show can run with only actors...!!!
Understand the sacrifices made by them to make you look good to yourself..
Love them like there is no tomorrow...because there might be no tomorrow....!!!
Think people think!!one life for you and even for her..!!
We understand a man's life is not easy...but a woman's life is more difficult....
A man's mind and heart are not at peace at times, but a woman's mind and heart are more of Warfield.. battling out the emotions and feelings every moment, whilst never failing in donning her roles successfully amidst the battle in herself. She always emerges out as a winner..!!!Always!!

Sorry forgot to add a line for that section of great men who are already doing an excellent job in their roles of a family person.. a responsible son, a caring husband and a loving father....Bravo!!!great going...and Hats off!!!
Try taking time to make the other greater majority of your breed realize it....
Hopefully they will someday...sometime.. only time will tell..

And for all those wonderful women, don't forget that you are the pillar of a house.... holding everything, every aspect of your lives, every person of a family together. So hang on there, have patience as always and keep rocking..!!!
Good days are ahead!!!
Tip: if still nothing changes,use the rolling pin for better purpose than making chapathis/rotis :-)
One strong hit,and their world should rotate around only you....ha ha ha...sorry....dnt try too hard...otherwise you will be piling up your own tasks as you may also have an ailing,injured husband to take care of....:-))
