A Life Of 105
It was the 5th of November in the
year 2000 when we buried him on his fifteenth birthday. Tiger, our pet dog,
whom we preferred to address as our child, was a pivotal member of our family. He
was three months old when we welcomed him into our family and he grew up to be
as handsome as a Labrador Retriever can be.
A
decade later, his pace slowed down and he started to distance himself from
play. We chose to ignore the signs of aging as we did not want to lose him. It
was not too long before my mother and I were standing next to him as he lay
unconscious on the operation table a couple of years before he died. We looked
hopefully at the Vet through our tears and a sinking heartbeat and prayed as we
waited for a miracle to happen. The miracle did happen and he survived the
stroke with the help of the multiple injections that the Vet kept infusing into
his frail and weak body. We thanked God when he wagged his tail while we lifted
him up from the table.
His
kidneys had been damaged, cataract and arthritis had started to trouble him but
his pain did not deter him from wagging his tail as an expression of his love
and gratitude for us. He introduced me to the gentle kindness towards all
living things with his loving nuances. It was a fulfilling life with him around
us. I was again at the Vet's clinic a day before he died. Tiger had taken ill
and was in a miserable state.
The
Vet tried to write something but just scribbled on his notepad and sighed. His
words came as a severe shock as he spoke, "This is the end. They have a
life span of maximum nine to ten years. It is your love that has pulled him
along for fifteen years. Nothing that I try to prescribe now can help, it will
only prolong his suffering." His words came as a fierce blow and I drove
back home in tears. We were crying and praying for a peaceful end to his
misery.
My
mother gave him some 'Gangajal', switched on the cassette for 'Geeta Path' and
whispered in his ear, "Pray to God to go to heaven and return to a
healthier body and human life form". We believe in the continuity of the
soul through eternity moving from one form to another. He was gone by the next
morning leaving us devastated. A dog year is equivalent to seven human years,
giving him a life of 105 years. My mother called the 'Panditji' and arranged
for a 'puja' for him where we sat in sombre silence praying for peace for his
soul.
Tiger
taught me how to love unconditionally. His eyes were always overflowing with
selfless love and loyalty. His departure made me jobless as my life till then
had revolved around him while I played with him, took him for his walks, went
through an elaborate session of coaxing and petting him during his meal times
as he was a fussy eater, chasing him to give him his bath which he always
wanted to avoid, and grooming him, something he just loved as my fingers moved
through his soft and silky fur, making him snuggle up to me. His death created
a vacuum in our lives with empty hours at our disposal.
His
presence had brought an overflow of happiness in our lives. He appreciated the
little things in life, a little snack would meet with vigorous wagging and caressing.
He knew how to bring a smile on our faces with his pranks and cuddling. I
learnt to love selflessly and appreciate every little thing around me. He
groomed my personality to make me more sensitive to others' needs and emotions.
He made me a better person. I wish he is in a healthier body leading a very peaceful
life just like my mother wished for him.

Book Review - ARC_CrookedRoadsThroughCedarGrove by RobWatts
Book Review - ARC_CrookedRoadsThroughCedarGrove by RobWatts
A mystery thriller that touches many important subjects as
the story progresses. Rob Watts has created a great suspense that keeps you
guessing as well as engrossed in the story from the beginning to the end. A
successful effort has been made in developing the characters. The effect of
parental relationship on children comes out clearly as the story builds up. The
adverse effects of drug abuse is another topic that is handled delicately and
at the same time very effectively. The main theme of delay in timely and
appropriate justice which lets the criminals run scot free has been addressed powerfully.
The story leaves you questioning the adequacy of the judicial system and the
lack of bonding and compassion in social relationships that leads to teenagers
going astray.
