Doggies & Me – An Eternal Bond!

If anything has the ability to light up my eyes, that would be doggies!!! I’m particularly fond of huge, fat ones full of fur. I do love dogs in general but I’m partial to the ones blessed with good looks.London roads and parks are so full of them during weekends and on auspicious days when the sun decides to grace the city with its joyful and warm presence. My favorite hobby in London is to go walking in the parks listening to music, lost to thoughts – of elation & despair and of solitude & loneliness; life is always a balance of good and bad as I’ve understood it.

I spot a Poodle (not one of my favorites), a Beagle, a Chihuahua, a German Shepherd, a black & velvety Labrador Retriever, a Boxer (it looks weird, again not one of my favorites).

As they pass by one after another my serious looking face breaks into a blissful smile with ease as I get back to my music and thoughts; wait a minute, where was I? Never mind! I redirect my thoughts to the uncertainties in my career and the next few months of anxious wait leading to some clarity. Few more minutes of such musings with great macroeconomic ramifications 😉 and I spot a couple of Dachshunds, a Pomeranian, a Grate Dane, an English Mastiff, an Alaskan Malamute and the sexy Siberian Husky.

I’ve even spotted an Akita; being instantly drawn to the dog, I walked up to the master and inquired about the breed. I was thrilled to be able to pet the beautiful, well-groomed and majestic dog for a few minutes. That just made my day!!! A sudden halt to all my wayward thoughts. I started craving for a pet dog. I always have. Just that I’ve never been lucky enough to have had one. Maybe some day!

Dogs are such a balm to one’s soul – ever faithful to its master and unconditional in its love; a silent companion spreading happiness in the lives of those around. No bitching, back-biting, manipulation or drama! Of course, its a big commitment and a responsibility comparable to the likes of raising children. Many times I prefer the company of dogs to that of human beings, except I don’t have one. I hope to rectify that soon!
