And we lost World Cup'15 !

World Cup’15 is over and we are not winners L L L

One and probably only thing that unites Indians (at least till current generations) over Religion or any divisive politics, is Cricket. For 4 long Years, we eagerly wait for World Cup, live the same dream of winning it, pray for Indian Cricket Team, and stay optimistic till very last ball of the Game.

And this Thursday we lost semi-finals, when we were not even expecting to get through Qualification round (pessimistically or realistically). So I feel that's good enough that we reached Semi-Finals.
Still it hurts when they lose. After all it is our Team and we feel connected. J

Though I'm not any Cricket expert or big Fan, so match results doesn't bother me much after the moment. But there are real fans, who get upset when Team is defeated and overjoyed when it wins. Then, there are some, I don't think they are qualified enough to be called fans, who are fans of only victorious Team.
When Indian Team wins, they treat them like a Prince and when they lose, all hell breaks loose - Pelting stones, abuses, funny messages and what not. K

My sister was very upset other day, saying, “Didi, this is not right. At least they tried. Victory and Defeat are part of the game.” True, isn’t it? Someone has to lose to pave the path of victory for others.

This is how many or the most of us react after every such match and this is how we have been reacting over and over. Is it surprising? Well, frankly no. By nature, sometimes I feel we are a very selfish species. We just can’t handle being-hurt, being-wrong. And, we need someone to blame.

So when we are sure that India will win and it loses, we get hurt and start blaming, either players or selectors or even their spouses. Same is with life. Till you keep performing, they are all praises and once down, you are useless of them all. And then you get up again, they are again your fan.

At the end, such people don’t matter, because for them your performance, your effort doesn’t matter. All that matters to them is crying foul over everything.

Who cares, move on! Dogs will bark, that’s what they are born with. :P

For The Sake of Civility

By
As I drive across the road, I see a dead body lying in the middle of the road; people driving around it to avoid driving over it. Its internal organs have come out of the anus or stomach, not sure. I just see something coming out of the body, like the intestine. I feel really bad and drive away. I see a boy on the bike, who also saw that body lying there and couldn't make up his mind whether he shall go back or move on like me or many others. After all, it was just a puppy, drenched in pouring rain, probably starved for a few days, weak. He stood there thinking, till I could see him, and then I drove ahead thinking the same if I should have stopped, moved that body aside and called municipal for picking it up.  I felt like vomiting, not sure due to the condition of that dead body or my inability to do something. It might have been a genuine accident case, but doesn't that puppy expect some basic respect? Can we term it as Hit-and-Run case or I'm just overreacting?

Dogs and Wanderers

By
As they say,  Life changes when you have a Kid and I say, it changes dramatically when you have a Pet. I have 2 beautiful bitches which most of you already know. I’m one of those first-time Pet Parents who want to do little more for their pets than daily walks of Potty and Pee. Nothing wrong with those walks, only that I wish to experience the feeling of having a pet in a different way. I want them to explore, go on long drives, see beaches, get dirty, and spread love.  Daag achchhe hote hain 😋 The hidden truth is my bitches love going out, even if it is for the whole day 🙄. And that’s the vision for  Dogs and Wanderers .  The group plans free local outings over the weekend at different Tekdis of Pune and once-a-month pocket-friendly overnight camping.   Yippie !!! And Dogs and Wanderers   is featured in Times of India today!   We have a lot of Pet Parents interested to join , which justifies the vision of this group. This group was formed to make it pos

For the love of Coffee

4 months since my last blog, I so missed it. But was too overwhelmed to write anything. Do you ask why?  Flashback flashback flashback !!! I'm raised in a family where I have interacted only with humans. That doesn't mean we looked down on other species. Just that we did not love them enough to make them member of house. Only animal that I had probably touched and adored would be Cat. They seem easy to be overpowered, thus harmless. Yeah I have got some good survival instincts! Then I grew up, keeping safe distance from non-Human species on earth. Even safer distance from Dogs after my brother got bitten by a crazy dog. You know, biting is still manageable, but injections... I will rather take longer route. And the day came, when it happened. I still don't believe how, so let's pass on the blame to Destiny. I  brought home a pet Dog. Yes, i t does all crazy stuff. 1 month female Doberman. She (for me it's she, not it) was on my lap, lic
