Happy Anniversary Baba & Ma!
I made the card for my parents for their Anniversary with lots of hard work.I wrote a poem in Bengali for the fist time. The first draft was written in Hindi script but the dialect was in Bengali as I can only speak and not write in Bengali. I took help from the internet to write this. All I needed was a golden glitter pen and a colored sheet of paper
বাবা মা!
হাঁসি কান্না দেখাই না
তার মানে এই না
কি আমি তোমাদের ভালোবাসি না
আমার ভালোবাসা মাপা যায় না!

Naughty
Recalled to life
Naughty our pet dog was devoted to my brother. Whenever, my brother used to go out of station, he would beseech him not to go by sitting inside the suitcase. When my brother left, after consoling him, Naughty would wait for him for days without eating anything. After coaxing him a lot he would eat on the third day.
A month before his death my brother came to us. Naughty was very happy. He couldn’t walk a few days before but with his master he had the longest walk of his life! Nobody could have guessed that he was sick. Now that I think of it my mum had said that he was just waiting for my brother to see him for the last time.
In his last days Naughty drew more close to us. He could not walk; even then he would drag himself next to my mother. When he was bedridden, he would whine for us. He did not want us to leave him even for a second. He bravely fought for his life to live with us. Yet God took him away. One day I saw a hole in his grave! For a moment I thought he had come out and would come back home soon!
Naughty however did not see my brother in his last moments. He was gone for about a month when my brother returned to us. I wet my pillow thinking about Naughty and asked him “Would you not come to see your beloved Master?”
Next day I heard my brother say that he saw Naughty sitting by his side in the bed the previous night!
Chutku
I have a picture of her pups though.
I first met Chhutku when she used to loiter around shops for scraps of food. She was slender and beautiful. Her big, gorgeous, dark doe eyes keep looking at me even now! They were stretched, sharp, kind and full of hope.
One day while I was walking by the street, I saw her padding her way without a care of the world. I can’t imagine how her feet made its way into the wheel spoke of a running cycle! People just stood there like innocent bystanders, watching her shriek in pain as she was dragged with her leg stuck in the running cycle. After realising what was going on, the bicycle rider stopped. Nobody would go and rescue her. Fortunately she wrung herself free and disappeared. Perhaps she didn’t want any one to watch her writhe in pain. I was worried whether she would survive. I searched everywhere and found her hiding down a drain. I called her but she was reluctant to come out. She was scared stiff! Finally with a lot of coaxing with food, she limped out. I was glad she trusted me and ate the food that was given to her. From then on I gave her food every day. Slowly she came back to her old self and started scampering around the streets again. Her hurt foot recovered soon. God healed her! I guess, God protects those who need him most. Whenever she saw my car she would come running. When I return home every day, she would invariably wait for me at the exact hour. She was so grateful, even though we did so little for her. We watched her grow mature. Then the day came when the males started hounding her. They fought wars for her and she kept running from them. But she couldn’t escape. Can anyone run from one’s own nemesis? She ran helter shelter but nobody would give refuge to her. No one would adopt her including myself for which I repent time and again! I lived in an apartment where they don’t allow dogs and I had already one at home.
Few months later she gave birth. She would not leave the young ones for even a minute. Not even for food. I had to coax her into eating but she would eat little just to satisfy me and rush back to her motherly duties. Sometimes she would not come to me also. On 11 September 2009, I realized, I didn’t see her for two days at a stretch. I thought she would come back but she didn’t and her pups were helpless without her. I knew she would be the last person on earth to abandon her pups! I searched for her in all the places she was likely to be. I left no stone unturned for her but found no trace. Later I learned from few people that a family had complained to the municipality corporation to take her away as she was littering the area with her pups, where they lived. So they took her away. The truth sank into my head Chhutku was no more. This happened in Shanthinagar, Pondicherry.
For God’s sake she had just become a mother! She was only six months old! Her 2 days old pups needed her. They would die without her! Is it impossible to feel for her just because she was a dog? Did she suffer less pain when she was beaten to death? How different is she from us? I am sure she shrieked in pain and cried for help just like any of us if we were in her place! Why do we turn deaf ears to those who are dependent on us? The man who killed her and the people who ordered it will they be punished for this heinous crime? Where is justice? Not in this world!
I did what I could do at least to save her six female pups. I fed them and kept them alive until I found an animal shelter for them. But they have very little money to look after all the dogs abandoned every day. Nobody is willing to adopt these dogs. I can’t even imagine anyone adopting female dogs!
