look out for the jasmine

today i and dexter were off on our evening walk,two middle aged house wives were walking behind us, seeing dexter relieve himself they started expressing loudly how much they hated pets as they dirtied the surroundings.

Well I was pretty miffed at their attitude, not because they said they did not like my precious Dexter but because they were using a very uncool tactic of expressing their distaste or distress if it amounts to that.

I thought to myself, these would be the same people who would throw waste outside their house to keep their interiors clean (I am taking the liberty to assume this :)) but come on its a fact.. many do that.. then i thought atleast waste Dexter throws is bio degradable. Just that moment i thought i had a brilliant case here and would love to hear them respond to it..

But Dexter all of a sudden started running and i gave up all thoughts of confronting the ladies (honestly speaking i would not if i had a chance!) but at that time i mentally told those ladies that they can thank their lucky stars and dexter even more now ;)

All of a sudden Dexter ran towards a bush of jasmine flowers and then pow ...the smell of it totally changed my state of mind.. Itl was so heavenly i felt i was in a different world and at peace.Me and Dexter just stood there soaking in the heady fragrance..

Then i thought to myself, in life we will get triggers and balms which diffuse situations, i guess its up to us whom to welcome in our lives to make it more beautiful. Simple decisions like holding on to the balm and letting go of the trigger points would bring about quantum changes in our lives and yet we get so perplexed with the little rough waves that we miss out the bigger picture and fail to see the obvious path ahead.

With this enlightenment off we went Dexter and me hopping .. running... walking... staring and leaking (the last two applies to dexter alone :)...
