Does ANyONe cARE.?


Well.This is the picture of a hapless dogs body stuck in between the railings of the divider of the road that leads to my college.Well when i first saw it I had no idea what the hell it was on this bloody earth.?


It did not take me much time to figure out what it was but just look at the way the death struck that dog!!I am personally a big animal lover and I absolutely love dogs.I dont have any idea as to what might have happened .It is obvious that it was hit by a vehicle but then the way it has ended up is seriously strange.Can someone even try to explain what might have happened and how is it possible for the body to be in such a terrible and arcane position.


Was it trying to cross the road .?If yes then I am sure it would have prefferd the other two entries.The ones on its sides..If it was hit by a vehicle,how come it is in such an odd position,stuck between those barricades.?Mysterious!!Its head has almost done a 180 degree vertical flip to the other side and is almost detatched..


Whatever it was ..It was sad and strange at the same time.It is damn sad as to what this dog might have gone through while being stuck in such a difficult position.You often see in all these animal planet and stuff as to how they rescue even a cat or a bird stuck somewhere in US or other foreign countries but here if a cat or any other animal is stuck somewhere ,say on an electric post or something the best way to bring it down will be stoning it till it jumps amd loses its life or eventually dies after getting stoned.Well it is such a pity that in a country where animals like cows and rats are given godly status, there itself none cares a fig for animal life.There might be an animal welfare group but who knows them.?We just feel their presence once in a while in the news channels where they protest on something but the baseline is that none knows whom to contact if they do need to, in any emergency.
So many people do trade in tiger skins and other animal parts of endangered species but it is very sad to see the govt spending less on these matters and even when it does the results are in the negative more often than not. I personally remember seeing sharks fin soup on the menu of a chinese restaurant in ooty.I wanted to raise my voice against it but who will listen to it?.we often listen to the news of Prahlad kakkar meeting the PM but unfortunately nothing follows it and wildlife is put at a risk.
so many elephants killed either by a running train or an electric fence set up by the people and the most strange part of it all was that paris hilton gave a statement supporting the plight of the wild elephants but there has been no considerable move by the Govt of India.
i would personally like to do something for the welfare of animals and hope that i will be able to do it efficiently once i have the authority to change things..best of luck to myself!!

CHANGE iS thE OnlY PERmaneNT thING-part 1 (hostel)


TRUE..AbSOLutely true..change is infact the only thing that doesnt change.
I dont know why but I suddenly realised that my college days are drawing to an end and lo!!Three years are over.Well almost.Four months more to go.Made a lot of friends and as usual everyone is now geariNG Up to part ways and seek their different goals and aspirations.Dont have any idea where we will all be ten years hence or for that matter even five.
I still remember my first day in hostel when I was accompanied with my parents to the hostel and after everything was arranged they left and then and there began a new life where I was independent ,had to seek for my things.Well i always wanted to live in the hostel as iw was something that i found was extremely interesting and different from the usual course.Ya and i was in the hostel and there was this huge pool of anxious faces who were all new to whatever they were seeing and a bunch of seniors lurking in the background to prey upon us..I instantly struck a chord with few guys there and we were all like small fishes going together in a pack and never leaving each other for the fear of the predator.
That night we were alloted rooms and being in the luxury of home and suddenly being thrown out in the open to the real world did make one feel nostalgic,although i was enjoyng it.I remember 5 or 6 of us in a room and introducing us to each other and asking each other about the schools,friends ,girlfriends and a lot more..
Getting up in the morning early around 4 30 to be the first to take bath..Going for breakfast in the hostel mess..Well those both habits were very shortlived..Trying to disobey the rules of the hostel as much as possible ..These are all things that everyone of us would have gone through..
A special mention to the Oujha board game we played ..I ll take full credits here to say that I introduced it in our hostel and soon it did become a rage..I wonder how many spirits we let lose :) ..There was even a guy who fell unconscious while playing the game..Bribing the watchman to let us free at night and playing in the basketball court till the wee hours of the night and making a lot of noise when the hostel power went off and swearing at the hostel warden.. The useless breakfast,boring lunch and the terrible dinner at the mess..Sitting up late nyt and thinking what we were gona do for the future..Thinking of the three years we had to survive there..
As time passed by,none even cared to wake up early..used to get up at 9 and the college used to start at 9 30..Lectures were as boring and distasteful as they could get..Bunking started becoming the order of the day..
Started violating the hostel in time curfew of 8 30 ..and started getting into the not so good books of the warden..as if we cared..Apology letters became gimmicks..
Met a lot of different people from exteremely different backgrounds..
but soon,after spending a year there,hostel started becoming so predictable and boring..Everything around so stale..
Worms in the food,Ants in water and the hostel Chefs(chefs!!that is a lot of respect) ,if you see the way they make food
one might surely give us a bravery award or an endurance award..Not going into the details cos I would like this to be pleasant.Long nights spent talking and the late mornings spent dozing..
A lot more about hostel but then it would just go on and on..shuld have blogged from that time itself..Might add some more to it as i feel..
anyway better late than never..
By the way speaking about late..Its 1 30 now and tommorrow s a Sunday..I guess I will wake up late..
