The life of Benzy

A couple of months back, as i was leaving home to go to a friend's place, i noticed this super enthusiastic dog pass by my street. As usual, i ran to the kitchen and fed the weak-looking dog. She was a stray, probably wandering around in search of a meal and since i fed her, she started to hang around my house.

Bensy is the most sweetest dog i've ever met. She must be less than a year old and grew very attached to the family. Storms and rain scare her and that is when we took her in and gave her a new bed. The fireworks during Diwali made her tremble and whine all evening. It got so worse that i spent my evenings trying to calm her nerves, to stop her from trembling.

She spends her nights inside, sleeping so peacefully, maybe she has never slept this well ever in her life. The streets are not really a safe place. Every night as i watch her sleep, i feel my heart skip a beat. She is one lucky animal and i could not be more pleased about adopting her.

Love Makes The World Go Round

Humans are so needy. We say all we need is love and when we get it, we say it is not from the one we expect. We can never make up our mind and by the time we learn to identify superficial love, its too late.

We take our dear ones for granted and then rant about how we are ignored. When someone genuinely loves us, we dont want it, when they shift their attention from us, we get frustrated.

At first, I thought it's teenage psychology. I wanted to believe that, to give it a definite name. Yes, of course, it did not work and it got to a point when i really wanted to give up on trying to make her understand. It dint matter to her. I didn't matter. She lived in a small world which consisted of her and her certain "loved" one. I thought she would grow out of it, would understand emotions better and i even felt she did but, blah.

Patience is not always a good thing. If only she would open her eyes and take a peek and the world.
