My love, my dog! :)

Do you look forward to your dog tackling you with love every time you walk in the door? Sometimes it's the little things that shape relationships in life, and the relationship with a pet is no different. If your pet's goofy bark or quirky behavior makes your heart melt, you're not alone. Pets don't have the same type of hang-ups or grudges that humans have. They're perfectly willing to walk with you through life, comfort you in your troubles and cheer you on when you're low.

Having a pet of your own is one of life's greatest pleasures. A pet gives us love and affection that we so deeply desire in our lives.

I have a pet dog named Max. It belongs to the Labrador breed. It is brown in color. He was only 1 month old when my sister brought him home. The first time I saw him, I was just thrilled with joy. He looked like a soft brown ball and was so cute. The bonding that developed there has since then, continued unbroken. Slowly but steadily, Max grew in confidence and came to be a part of our family. He plays with me and accompanies me in my morning walks. The very sight of his bright eyes and wagging tail brightens up my day. He is a very fierce customer when it comes to guarding the house. The sight of a stranger at night brings out the soldier in Max and he starts barking ferociously, to scare him away. Max's presence adds meaning to my life. He has not only given me a friend to be cared by and to care for, but also has made me a more responsible and mature individual. But I know that a dog's life span is very short, so very soon it would have to leave me .Yet I keep praying to God to let it be with me forever.

Reasons why I love my dog:

1. My dog joyously greets me every time I come home.

2. My dog is always in the mood to cuddle.

3. My dog helps me clean up spills in the kitchen.

4. My dog shares my belief that there's never a wrong time for a nap.

5. My dog doesn't fight with me about what show we should watch on TV.

6. My dog loves me unconditionally.

Truth!

Women are the integral part of our country that is not only limited for the upbringing of the children but also to contribute equally for the development of our country.  They are such human bodies which are made of patience, tolerance, perseverance, strength and dedication towards their families. They play a dynamic role in each and every activity. Moreover, there is not even a single field left where they have not left their footprints whether it’s about opposition of Government in ‘Geetika Murder Case’ (An airhostess, Delhi) or their raising of voices against the rape of ‘Delhi’s Medical student’. However, in this male-dominated world, women have no option left except dealing with the problems which they come across on regular basis.

You might be listening to news, reading newspaper or magazine, you would have gone through incidents and accidents with women in India. While any other article on women’s empowerment in India will take a look at our rich heritage and enlightened societies of the past where women were treated as equals, the concept of “India” itself evolved quite recently, relative to the sum of its past histories. But the TRUTH is that in the modern India, woman has always been a second grade citizen, no matter what its esteemed leaders have said or done.

It is hard to fathom how slow moving the cultural exchange of the world is when you find out that there are several places across the country where harmful customs of the ancient world coexist with modern appliances and thoughts. However that may come as hardly any surprise to anyone who has lived in India – the dichotomy of society is something that can only be explained by a refrain from an old Bollywood song: “It happens only in India!”

Yes, it is only in India that glaring and brutal gang rapes occur frequently in a state that is headed by a woman Chief Minister. Gender discrimination is the least of worries for women in India, known otherwise as the fourth most dangerous country in the world for women. Other instances of violence against women has an astonishing and grim variety to it – with acid throwing, domestic violence stemming out of dowry, rape, harassment and an assortment of others.

Women want to be treated as equals so much so that if a woman rises to the top of her field it should be a commonplace occurrence that draws nothing more than a raised eyebrow at the gender. This can only happen if there is a channelized route for the empowerment of women.

Thus it is no real surprise that women empowerment in India is a hotly discussed topic with no real solution looming in the horizon except to doubly redouble our efforts and continue to target the sources of all the violence and ill-will towards women.

Hyderabad - Place, Culture, People.

HYDERABAD – THE CITY I GREW UP IN, THE CITY I LOVE.
PLACE:
Hyderabad- “The city of Nawabs” is one of the best metropolitan cites in India and is well known globally for its rich heritage with temples, mosques, churches and monuments, varied heritage in arts,crafts and dance enabled the city to preserve its culture from years.
CULTURE :
What makes Hyderabad such a special destination is its multi-cultural mix of people. In fact, in Hyderabad one can find north and south Indian people belonging to different religious community and different number of languages.
PEOPLE :
Hyderabadis are a pretty friendly people. Almost anyone will help a blind person cross the road if asked to, and they will all be eager to give directions if asked. But, on the other hand, so many auto rickshaw drivers will cheat you if they can, many police and municipal officers (government officials in general) can be bribed, women get stared at everywhere and really badly in certain areas, a fender-bender in the traffic almost always erupts into a very foul-mouthed and quite possibly physical fracas, just about everybody breaks traffic rules. Actually, to determine the ethics of the average resident of this city, you just have to stand at an unmanned traffic signal for half an hour. Yes, a point that comes up is that not all offenders above belong to under-educated and poor classes – for example, several cars jump signals, and several highly educated bureaucrats take bribes. We don’t know about our theory then – ask God.
RANDOM HYDERABADI FACTS :
1) Most Hyderabadis love chaat and pani puri and of course mirchi bajjis.
2) 7 out of 10 Hyderabadi under-17 students are trying to become engineers, and 2 out of 10 are trying to become doctors. The other 1 out of 10 is considered a non-entity.
3) A popular pastime among Hyderabadi youngsters is standing by the railings of the top floors at Prasads multiplex and looking down at the crowds. We wonder what they look for.
4)If you do not get tickets in many Hyderabad cinema halls, most times you can ask the owner where to find his men around his theater selling them in black (though he may ask you to pay him for the information)
5)If you own land anywhere in Hyderabad, it will most likely be grabbed by goons, and cops usually offer to help only if you part with half the land (okay, that’s an exaggeration – they ask for only a quarter).
6)The Hyderabad airport is possibly the farthest that any airport in the world is from its home city.
7)Autorickshaw drivers in Hyderabad are in general rude, and do not understand the concept of a straight line.
8)Public transport in Hyderabad, aside of the rather expensive autorickshaws, are buses and local trains. The former can be very crowded, and the latter untraceable.
9)The biggest addiction in Hyderabad is paan (betel leaves with nuts), and the related gutkha. People spit the red excrement from that all over the roads, and even if you can manage to stay outside the line of fire, you can’t manage to never step over it.
The sights, sounds, smells, tastes and experiences make Hyderabad what it is.
