Destiny's favorite child

Today I can proudly say that I am destiny's favorite child. God has given me chances far more than anyone should ask.

My first relationship failed, I learnt nothing. I casually put the blame on my destiny and moved on...

My second relationship failed I carried on as if nothing has happened. After all, what else could be expected from an uneducated man.

My third relationship failed, this time God made sure that I had learnt the lesson.

A lesson which taught me to hold myself when the entire world was falling apart, to understand what is right and what is wrong, to know the difference between people who would use themselves for your good and people who would use you no matter what.

The final blow of my third relationship was when it was confirmed that this man was a con and was simply manipulating me to fulfill his and his family's financial ambitions. I was fortunate enough, that I realized this well in time. He snatched my credit cards initially, when I took them back with a innate display of anger; he demanded the details to pay for his family's air travel.

A man who expected that I should control my anger for filthy demeaning words, which only displayed his parent's uncivilized character. More important is I never said a word to his parents, but to him for not standing by me.

He never believed in the relationship and kept abusing me with baseless accusations of being a lifetime failure.

He kept blaming me that I put him up to walk on eggshells, whereas he was already walking on them, thanks to his own Karma, A man who always blamed me of being dishonest, only proved that a dishonest man feels that everyone else is going to cheat him.

Now, that he is engaged to some other innocent girl, I only hope that her family is smart enough to understand that if he can do this to one woman, it can be their daughter too, who would be paying for this man's ambitions. And a trust once broken can hardly be repaired, even if he was questioned once, he will have to be careful all his life and It will pay off me being really evil for once in my life. After all, I was smitten by the mark of the beast too.

Times and again, this man kept proving it that he was not worth my time and I was fortunate that the relationship did not work out, and I have a of feeling being blessed for life.

In search of footsteps of the Great Shivaji Maharaj - Umbarkhind

February 1661: It was 2nd of February and the Mughal Army was marching fast towards the Konkan region from Pune. The army consisted of Horses, Bulls, Elephants, small canons and men. They were equipped for a full fledged war anytime. Their head, Kartalab Khan, was a fierce Uzbek warrior. Trusted by the Mughal Emperor, Aurangzeb, he was sent to the Pune region to assist Shahista Khan to wage war against the Great Shivaji. Kartalab Khan was assisted by Kachhap, Jasawant Kokate, and the lady sardar RaiBaghan. The army had reached Lohgad and Khan had decided to take the pass between Lohgad and Visapur to enter Konkan. The spies informed Kartlab Khan that the Great Shivaji was resting at Kuruwande Village, roughly 4 miles west to the Lohgad. Khan instantly jumped at the opportunity to siege the Great Shivaji and gain higher ranks at the courts of the Emperor. Thus, the army changed its course and turned towards to Kuruwande. As they reached Kuruwande, they found that the informers

Animal Welfare and I Part VI

Radhika and I together we have many rescues stories to share. One such is that of a community dog who lived near her home. This fella was one big notorious kid. He had developed a wound and later there were maggots infestation. First time in net, the boy escaped by breaking the net with his teeth. Second time we somehow managed to get the dog in the van with the net and I drove him to the Angel Lady’s shelter. She treated him well and some three or four days later this guy ran off from the shelter. The group leader hid his face for a few days until Radhika mentioned that the dog had returned to his spot! I was amazed by this return. The miracles that mother nature brings forth all the time are euphoric. There was another case in my neighborhood . During each drive for about three months were trying to get hold of this female dog, she escaped every time. Then she was pregnant again. Finally two of her pups survived to adulthood and she almost willingly got in the vehicle for spaying.

Animal Welfare and I Part IV

People would come to her to adopt dogs. Most of them would be looking for free puppies of exotic breeds. Many didn’t want to take home any dog that would have been previously owned. Hardly anyone wanted to have the local indie dogs. The group also used to organize Adoption camps. People used to huddle up only to see puppies in the pens. The caregivers of these puppies would mostly be heartbroken since very few pups would be adopted. The kitties would find homes quickly but getting the dogs adopted used to be real hard work. Once another lady and I visited an elderly couple who wanted to adopt a pup. We took some 4 healthy pups in carrier in an auto rikshaw. When I realised that the energy levels of the couple together wont match to that of the pup, I told the lady and she instantaneously agreed. We brought the pups back. Another time, a family had adopted a pup during adoption camp. When we called to inquire about how the pup had settled with the family, we were told the pup was
