Ma & Dexter

Dexter and his antiques continue to light up and my family's world

What makes me proud that after meeting Dexter so many people around our block have a labrador. One spark to light a fire is so true.Of course there are so many who would not understand this crazy canine love.

Some of his antiques

Ma & Dexter

Ma one day came home thirsty and told Dexter, " Give your Grandma some water Dexter", Dexter figured smartest thing to do was drink some water himself and go wagging his tail to Ma as though saying "look how smart I am"

Ma also loves jesting Dexter by mimicking him and that gets Dexter's doggy panties in a roll.. Its funny how he stops talking to us and will sit grumpily in his house ( under the dining table) and will refuse to come out till I cuddle him like crazy

In order to ensure Dexter eats his food quickly Ma will always call him to eat him food and become first and then she announces to the house "Dexter has again become First" Am not sure Dexter understands the meaning of first but he realizes its something good as he does his proud prowl around the house after that for a minute. Earlier me and my bro would groan at my ma's ranting if I may call it so but seeing Dexter really enjoys it I and bro have our own ultra Spoof version to get back at ma.

Ma is the only one who never takes Dexter for his walk as she has arthritis but she at times accompanies us for our walks and its so sweet to watch Dexter care for her, he would walk slower and if she is unable to keep pace he would run back to her and start walking even slow.

He touches our lives in so many way and so many times that keeping track and penning them down is one of the few things that bring joy to me
  

slaves then, now & then again

I logged on to blog spot after couple of months & took some 5 minutes to reach to "new post", phew technology sure is changing our lives, for better or worse is I guess very debatable. 

Too many thoughts & all in chaos makes it impossible to pen or rather key in words on my blog but thanks to crazy bombay rains and nothing interesting on 200 channels on tv got me back to blogging.

Have been reading this fictional book on black slavery and that got me thinking , how have we as humans really progressed. From white skin to brown to black skin, slavery still has not changed much. But what has changed is we have stopped retaliating for change. We accept that the poor will be slave to rich, the fat will be scorned by the slim, the white skin will smirk at brown and pot shots will remain the favorite sport for humans, only venue changes, from real life it now resides also in cyber life.

But am in awe with the speed at which information travels off late, thanks to the viral social networks, now the speed of lightening too must be getting a complex :)

Its a bit more crazy how often things change so often and now we are forced to accept instantaneously adjusting to change as the constant, which unfortunately is gonna stay in the long haul. Earlier the breather period to accept change was a lot longer but now its either change or perish. 

The generations to come wont I guess know the meaning of relaxing means doing absolutely nothing :) 

Sounds a bit scary to me but maybe that too will have its fun quotient however many zeros will be there before the point !
