Animals still rule the world!!

If you have the patience to go through the entire post, you can call yourself an animal lover. Do you really think we give these creatures which are deprived of the ability to express their emotions as we do the needed and the real value? I consider animals as good as humans. After all, a man is a sociable animal. Respecting animals so much as you respect human beings is highly essential. I can cite so many incidents I came across so far where animals were tormented to keep man's business going. When I was in 11th standard, I found few boys smaller than me running after a rat on the road. I expected them not to hurt that defenseless creature. But, I felt really disheartened watching what happened after that. Those three boys pounded the rat using a stone that would have weighed at least 10kgs. The rat managed to escape the assault and started running for its life again with enormous scratches and bruises on its back. Our boys, in no position to give up their brave attempt on a powerful rat, chased it down and used the same guerrilla attack. This time, fate failed to give the rat a second chance. All that was there in the end was a rat that was brutally killed after few final painful seconds. Everything happened before I could stop pedaling and get down from the bicycle. Now what is the use in taking those 3 nasty brats to task? I was as pathetic as that rat was before it died very badly.

This is just one of several incidents that take place everyday but fail to get our attention. Once I happened to find a bullock cart just opposite to the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly. For the amount of load the cart carried, even a pair of bullocks wouldn't be sufficient to drag the cart comfortably or at least with the least pain on their backs. This man was forcing the bull so hard to pull the cart that appeared like a pile of sandbags and to add to this, the animal was made to go uphill along the road that should actually be called a subway. I was wondering what amount of effort the bull would have put in keeping the load stable behind it while coming down the slope.

A lot of such incidents happened on my way to college in all these 4 years. Grand South Trunk is so grand only in its name. My journey to college covered 27km of the road that can rightly be called as the road to hell for most of those unlucky stray dogs that managed to find their places along the roadside of GST. Since that is the primary road that connects Chennai to the places in Southern Part of Tamil Nadu directly, heavy vehicle traffic is always at its peak even at night times. The poor dogs with no shelter try to reach the other side of the road but unfortunately, the heavy wheels of the road imps in the form of trucks and lorries driven by ruthless drivers who give away nothing for the lives of these poor creatures, make most of them as flat as the road is. What I got to see on the road were dried skins of dogs that became preys to the wheels. Whenever I see this visual, something in me tells 'That was the skin which was covering a live creature which was once fondled by its mother when it was a pup'. Thus, drivers on GST don't use two things-brakes and their brains.

People, we forget the fact that humans have been on this earth only for the past few thousand years. Animals are here for more than millions of years. It's their world and we are here using it as a rent-free place to dwell. Therefore, it’s very important to respect the lives of animals and give them priority over human beings who are most of the times shelled by intentions. Your dog wags its tail on seeing you for no reason. But, a man won't talk to you unless a reason drives him. That is the difference between these two animals. So, next time if anyone calls you a dog, feel proud that you are put at a level above human beings.

If there is one man who deserves real respect, that would be Mr.Sundaram who paved the way for the establishment of the society of Blue cross,
Madras.


He was the man who couldn't just go away after he saw two pups struggling for their lives along the roadside. He gave them shelter. He founded the Blue Cross society of Madras. Saving an animal life equals helping 100 orphans. Stop the atrocities caused to animals. Don't just walk away like a selfish human next time you see an animal suffering. Don't let an animal suffer because of you. Let us try to be humans which is how we are known. Now, humans are supposed to visit the site given below at least once:

http://www.bluecross.org.in/

It takes not more than Rs.1000/- from you to become a member of the Blue Cross Society. Your money will help the society feed some of the animals in bad living conditions. This is more divine than donating thousand bottles of blood to save human lives.

Animals are known for their loyalty. Man is considered as a liability.

This is still a world that belongs to them. Don't try to grab it away from them.

Awesome twosome



Digital computers, digital cameras, digital encoders, digital signals, digital meters and all other digital equipments. Sorry. These gadgets don’t fit into this blog. If one perceives digital life as something that relies on these digital devices, I would immediately cut down such a perception.

Life becomes digital not as a result of us using the devices that have been mentioned. It becomes digital for some other better reason. It’s because of two broad events. Birth and death.

A living being can either be alive or be dead. Life means nothing more than this. So it can rightly be called a digital life. It has two phases. A living phase and a dead phase. These two events can never merge according to the law called ‘Unknown’ or ‘Unwritten’ law. It’s my law and it says life under disguise is death, since you cannot experience both at the same time. It’s really peculiar to see humans enjoy only one of these two states, which can be more appropriately called as the two faces of life.

We almost never realize that one day each one of us will have to confront the second face of life. We never know when this would probably happen. We are all bothered about only the living part of life, for, we feel that life is to live. Rightly said, life is also to die. After all, what do you call a story or a movie with no end? An eternal nonsense

Bringing life under the lights, we find in it so many pleasures. We find so many defeats. We find so many disappointments. Most of the times, we discover that life is too hard to live. Sometimes, one might even tend to hate the life he/she is living. But still, we call them all parts of life, completely overlooking Death.

During the small passa, digital life, digitalge between birth and death, we experience what is known as life. Really true. We would have pulled up on so many people for our own good. We would have made people feel discontent, sometimes satisfied. We would have earned friends and foes. We would have cackled out when in a gathering and would have cried in the dark. We would have experienced so many amusements. We would have felt that we suffer all the pains in the world.

Every time an incident occurs, we express ourselves by bringing out the emotions hidden within us at that moment. We hardly think that these incidents are taking us closer to death. We are all moving towards death every second. We are dying every second. These incidents form the steps for us to reach the gateway of death. Life is an one-way highway, where we can't stop even for a moment or afford to travel down the road backward. Keep your highway flawless and clean.

Thus, life starts to decay as soon as it begins. Simply put ‘DEATH STARTS LIVING WHEN LIFE STARTS DYING’.

Life, in no time, takes the role of death and takes you on a free ride to hell/heaven. Thus, we don’t seem to understand our own knowledge of death which is exactly what we gain from every second of our lives. Life teaches us death.

The past is history and death is a mystery. May be that is the reason why people are scared of death. We have no idea what death exactly is. Hence, we feel hesitant to experience it when it happens. But remember that we are constantly inching towards death every single second. But still, we enjoy the life, giving death no thought.

It’s up to us to make oodles of good out of the decaying life. We should see to that we are successful at least in one face of the beautiful story called life, since we don’t know what the other face really means. Never forget death. At the same time, never make it more prior than life. Put life at the top, since the popular quote says LIFE NEVER GIVES YOU A SECOND CHANCE’. I find the statement incomplete. Even death never gives anyone a second chance, since I couldn’t find a human who died twice. Make life a tool to earn the best out of it. A human who brings about stability between life and death is said to be absolutely successful.

Live a sound life till the end. Don’t try to desist yourself from testing times. Experience them. They might teach you valuable life lessons. As long as our clocks keep ticking, we should make sure that we are still in the race for the best and most of all, we should never waste a second. We can do what we want to do only by living a life the way we wanted it to be.

Live your life. Love your life. Avoid hating death. All the best!
