Beauty of Life



Every night a white cat comes home to sleep on my bed n leaves the next morning. Then I do not see her for the entire day..even if I go looking for her, I don't find her anywhere. But then at night when I open my door, there she is waiting patiently for me to welcome her into my house so she can sleep on my bed like the royalty she is. 
This had happened earlier, then it stopped.
Then unexpectedly i come home one night, n she's lying on my welcome mat outside my door, sleepy, looking at me as if to ask, ' where have u been? I have been waiting here '. 
I open my door n she walks right in as if she belongs, explores the entire house all over again n then jumps on my bed n goes right to sleep.
Come morning,her meowing wakes me up, demanding to be let out. 
N the cycle begins again. Mind you..she never eats in my house nor has she marked it yet. I m a vegan so perhaps I think she doesn't like vegan food. Well, I don't force her..not that you can force a free spirit.
By now, u must be wondering what my point is with all this rambling about a cat. Big deal..u think in ur mind. 
Yes it is a big deal... you know why...
There comes a point in one's life when we cant seen to motivate ourselves...like a mid life crisis where you start wondering what all the fuss about life was about n how though u tried n tried u cudnt make your life stand out. 
I took control of my life back when I decided to quit on my abusive marriage n live on my terms rather than just survive the way society decrees. I did well for a while n then I guess I became complacent with my lifestyle n forgot what courage it took to make that life possible for myself. 
I lost track of myself somewhere along the way n again fell back to just being instead of living. N fell to the extent that when the wakeup call came, I was so shaken up that I contemplated suicide even coz sadly I realized that the motive that had driven me that time doesn't exist for me anymore. So now what?!!! 
While I m see sawing with my decisions, in walks this angel ...Shona I have decided to christen her. She comes every night, my own White Knight in shining armour looking at me knowingly, telling me with her eyes...relax darling...there's always tomorrow. You still have something to look forward to every day..even if that something right now is just my nocturnal visit. There is hope, there is love... see..she says...look, how much u love me... u can't give up...u can never give up...be happy..be smiling... u don't know it but ur luck has already begun to change...u cant see it but the silver lining on ur horizon is getting stronger n brighter. 
Keep faith my lovely....she says as she gives me one last look as she sashays her back on her way out in the morning.

Debate

Today we r going to discuss what being a vegan means to us as individuals n the planet in its entirety. Being a vegan means a person who does not eat meat, does not consume dairy, does not wear leather n other clothing items which come from harming animals and does not use any such products which may be the direct result of harming animals. Now what wud induce a person to go vegan? Of course these days the most popular reason is change in one's diets which leads to healthier eating habits which lead to a better lifestyle. Healthy body, glowing skin n hair, who doesn't want it?? But what's the other n real reason for going Vegan? Compassion of course. Awakening of one's conscience. Nobody has the right to  harm,torture n kill other species for ones consumption.. all living beings have been created equal in the eyes of God. N even if thats not the case we have been given the intelligence, conscience n the gift of speech to make the right choices. We as a species are ...

The agony of family visits

I m currently on a "family vacation" at my mom's house in our native place which is quite modern. I m forced to mention this since in our Indian culture, we tend to think of our native place as that rural place where we go duty bound once a year to pay our dues. Anyways, here I m with my dysfunctional family of two elder brothers one of whom refuses to acknowledge me as his sister n the other still trying to control the house. And I discovered something suddenly today..well..not so much as discovered as realised...it was an eureka moment... I realised that Indian men(most of them) do not appreciate the intelligence of Indian women. They still see themselves as some superior, highly intelligent species ( and here I m trying very hard to control my vocabulary n not give vent to the abusive language that is itching to come out of me).  Some of my male readers out there may feel offended by reading this.. however to prove my point,i will give you all a simple example..an ...

Being Vegan

The idea of being vegan is to reduce as much suffering n cruelty towards other species as possible. It does not n shud not make a vegan feel self righteous but its also not cool when others come on a mud slinging fest by saying things like plants also have life etc n quoting others. There r people in this world who r fruitarians n others who only eat that which falls of a tree. I do not even know what they r called. Some People try to live as much of an impact free life as they r capable of. And this can only happen when ur conscience awakens within u. One person's ideology is just his own. It can't be a majority. Pls get ur facts right n before anything else, more importantly have a heart. Feel. Think if it's ur wife who was raped every nine months so that she cud provide milk for other people's consumption,how wud u feel? Think if it was ur child who as soon as he/she dropped out of its mother's womb was picked off the ground n carted off to a butchery to be slaug...
