This Is How Dogs Show Gratitude

A homeless pup

There once was an abandoned pup roaming the street I lived on. This fella would have been around six months old at the time. Whenever I passed him, I would feel sorry and offer him some food (if I had any). 

Kindness of people

A few months passed, and now he has been taken in by the kind monks at the Buddhist Temple opposite the top of my lane. He now has a nice red belt around his neck and looks happy and content.

An act of gratitude to remember

One morning when I was standing by the main road (Opposite the Temple) for my office transport to arrive, I saw this dog. He crossed the road (using the pedestrian crossing very carefully) and walked towards me. Then he kept his paw on my shoe and looked up at me as if to say, “Hi there, how are you? I remember you! I am doing good as you can see” I patted his head for a brief few seconds. Then off he went back to the temple proudly and happily.

Not all people will remember your kind deeds, but one thing is for sure - a dog will always remember!

Attorney-at-Law & Business Analyst On Expressing Yourself Through Watches | Part 1

By
One of the most important accessories to consider when expressing yourself in a fashionable way can be your friend who tells you the time – your wristwatch! Since I befriended Manendra back in 2007 we noticed that why we clicked so well was that we had a common interest in most things. To say the least, we were mad over watches! Our taste has matured over time and seek more than “Just a watch” to wear. While most people just look for “anything that tells you the time”, we take it to the next level; what we both are looking for is a masterpiece that speaks to us from the design, colour, and detail of the dial to the material used on the strap and the origins of the watchmaker. This process is more like buying a car for some (not how much money you spend, but how much time you spend researching) Individuality Matters! When we choose a watch we choose it based on a few characteristics that speak to us. Individuality is important. For example, my friend likes a thick ring ar...

4 Tips For Buying A Used Car | Tried & Tested

By
  Buying a used car is not as easy as you think unless you have done your homework! Searching for used cars has become a walk in the park with the growth in social media and the internet in general. However, there's a downside to this ease of finding the exact car you want to fit your budget. Do you know what that is?

Her Kindness Towards Animals Truly Inspires Me

By
Sahana Ravishankar is an Attorney-at-Law by profession who has an undying passion for helping all kinds of animals. Especially cats and dogs. I first connected with her on Facebook about a year or so back after seeing a post about two pups who were rescued and needed "furrever homes" as she affectionately refers to it. Feeding the hungry Most of her good deeds revolve around feeding street dogs and cats who would otherwise more or less suffer of starvation and die. Her feeding rounds are regular and require so much effort to carry out. My mom and I once gave a small treat to five street doggies a few months back and that required quite a bit of effort. Buying the food, transporting it, finding the dogs, giving them the food without inconveniencing the public, and ensuring you leave no waste behind. It's a process! Adoption and Re-homing Not only feeding, she adopts helpless cats and dogs too. Caring for them until she finds people she can trust to take care of ...
