A long long time ago ... (aka Recognition)

Dont know when it was ...... Never knew if it existed ....... Had no sense that it had relevance ..... Have a feeling that these words bring some sleep to your eyes!

I dont know if i should be looking back at times when i was toiling for recognition ........ It is a phase of everyone's life ....... There are days when one looks back and sees that he/she has done the same things repetitively ...... There are days that seem so different from the regular days ....

Just like that day when i rode to my college in a weird mood that it was monday .....

Just like that day when i sat at coffee day sipping coffee ...... almost 4 yrs ago

Just like that day when i read the newspaper with 3 murders, 4 accident deaths, a minor being raped and two communal problems

A different day was when i brought home a puppy from the streets 6 years ago!!

My god!! I realised now that he is 6 years old!! He has been with us for 6 years!! thats so many dog years ....... I have read somewhere that 1 human year = 7 dog years ............ that makes him 42 years old!!

The wise old man ........ oops DOG!! I better not call him DOG ...... his name's Lucky ..... He is definitely more intelligent than men ............ YEAH YEAH ...... women who are reading this ..... dont ya giggle ...... more intelligent than women too .............

He'd be sleeping in the living room and he'd know when i tiptoe into the kitchen and open the box which contains biscuits ........... By the time i return to the kitchen door (hardly 8 feet away) ........ he'll be there ...... drooling and wagging his tail like the propellor of a messerschmitt airplane!!

One whistle is enough to bring him from anywhere in the road ....... yeah he is always outside running and playing on the road ....... he's a common toy for all the kids of our road .........

I usually tell people to ask for "Lucky mane" (The house of 'Lucky') when asking for directions to my house ......... that is once they reach our road ......

Yeah ...... remember i used the word "RECOGNITION" earlier ........... I can relate to it now ......

Our road is Lucky's world ............. He is well recognised, cared for, loved and valued!! He is missed if we dont let him out for a day!!

Guess thats the kinda recognition i am looking for!!
