What one man can do?

Always remember that it is one song that can herald rain, it is one step that starts a journey and it is one life that can bring about a change. In the words of Peter Roebuck, ‘Spirit is the difference between cement and ice. One lasts the course, the other goes to water when the heat is on.’

Before you adopt a dog

Before you adopt a dog – Promises that you must keep

There would be times when you would come across incidents where a dog has been abandoned by a family. The reason may be because of an injury the dog suffered, a disease that he caught, re-location of the family because of job changes etc. If you divulge into the deeper details, all these are merely lame excuses. If you get a dog, remember it’s family! And you don’t really shun a family member on the above accounts. It’s rather better to not have adopted a pet than to treat him as a commodity destined for the same fate as that of a tawdry fashion item. My nostrils flare when such gross news are reported. Please understand that it’s a beating heart full of love, loyalty & friendship that you have adopted. There are responsibilties that you must live upto. Please, remember that you are the harbinger of joy and the elixir of life for the muted species.

You are the hope and he is the heart!
