My Pet Bruno

My second son Sriraam was keen to buy a dog since his childhood.  He has been constantly demanding for a pet.  My wife and myself were resisting strongly since both of us were working.  We have been struggling even to look after the kids and having a pet is a nightmare.   He managed to convince usmin June 2006.  Soon  after that he started looking for a puppy through different channels like magazines, newspapers and from his known circle of friends.  He identified a Veterinary Doctor who was having different varieties of dogs.  Sriraam and my wife went  and chose a cute 40 days old labrador puppy  on 15th June 2006.  He was named "Bruno"

Thereafter all the problems started.  My wife found it difficult to manage one more visitor to the house.  Bruno has to be given shower once a week and she has to prepare food for him also.  This has added more work for her and she started complaining bitterly.  This was going on for a couple of months.  Bruno started biting the wooden items like sofa, chairs and stools adding chaos to the house. 

Some more months went off with similar issues.  We started realizing the unconditional love of Bruno and every one us started enjoying his company more particularly by Sriraam and by my wife.  We were having a wonderful time. 

Sriraam went to US for further studies and I was working in Malawi.  My wife decided to wind up and shift to Malawi.  We engaged the services of a  professional company for relocating Bruno from Chennai to Malawi and on 30th Jan 2012 he landed safely at Malawi.

We decided to settle down at India and moved out of Malawi in Jan 2014.  In June 2014 Bruno was diagnosed to be suffering from Cancer.  We gave the best treatment possible and despite all our best efforts he succumbed to cancer and died on 6th Oct 2014. 

We miss him very badly.  Some of friends and relatives suggested to go for another dog.  We do not want to miss the memories of Bruno and hence decided to turn down their suggestion.

Pencil

Did you know that you are like a pencil?
Here’s how:
1. Like a pencil, you can correct your mistakes. You can’t change the past, but you can rectify it. And though you can’t erase history, you can erase guilt and anger with forgiveness.
2. Like a pencil, painful sharpening can serve to make you better. Your difficult times can actually sharpen your skills or shape you into the person you were meant to be.
3. Like a pencil, you can do great things when you allow yourself to be held in Someone’s hand.
4. Like a pencil, you can leave your mark whenever possible. That is what you’re here for—to leave your mark. It may be in small ways, it may be in the lives of people you have touched or nurtured, but you must leave something good behind whenever you can.
5. Like a pencil, it is what is on the inside that matters. Whether it is understanding or intolerance, love or bitterness, peace or unrest, kindness or self-centeredness, hope or despair, courage or fear, what is on the inside matters most.
Next time you use a pencil, pause and think about that little writing tool. It teaches some great lessons about living!

Plan for a trip to Melur in Madurai

"Heard about Melur... Its a famous town in Madurai District(the Temple City). Located on the National Highway linking Madurai to Chennai via trichy. Adding extra Elagance to Madurai District, Melur and its surrounding villages have many temples having Historical importance. You can visit the famous Sanibhagavan temple, Draupathi temple and Manikavasakar temple in thiruvathavoor which is 10 kms from Melur where the famous poet Manikavasakar was born. On the way to Melur from Madurai, there is a beautiful mountain named Yanamalai in Othakkadai, which looks like a elephant in its sitting posture".

RS-Visit to Malaysia

Hi,

I visited Malaysia during the last month. Though it was an official trip, we could squeeze in some time to roam around KL, Petaling Jaya, Batu Caves etc. It was amazing to see the statue of Lord Muruga in front of the caves. Really marvelous. Even such a big statue for Lord Muruga is not Tamilnadu, to the the best of my knowledge.

Recently, they have enlarged the campus and built a beautiful temple for Lord Balaji and Padmavathi Thayar. You never feel that you are in a foreign country when you are in KL or Batu Caves, you can easily listen to tamil converation between people. So many tamilians are staying there.

If you get an opportunity, don't miss it.
