yet another futile attempt...


dunno wot has happened..am not being able to access my blog for quite a few days now (even now they arent letting me view it, though they are okay with me writing a new post!weird!)

..anyway, posting after quite a long time, yeah! i had been busy but then, i wouldn't pass the buck by just that excuse..actually didnt quite feel like writing..temperamental me! whatever..
yesterday morning found a baby pigeon lying severly injured in our staircase..heard that two cats literally tried tearing it apart..it was badly injured..i have dealt with cats & dogs before, so am quite at ease when it comes to handling them but this was a little different..anyway, with the help of the granny next next door, managed to put it in a basket & then took it to the nearest animal clinic..
they said one of it's wings had been broken & the nearby region was wounded badly but above all the poor creature was in tremendous shock.. they performed some dressing & asked me to feed it & give the medicines..i brought it back & made a bed for it..after 10 minutes of contemplation, i gingerly picked it up & put it there..the whole day was spent thinking how i can keep it, (as those people had said it might never be able to fly again), as i have so many cats at home, maybe i could put it inside some cage (though i didnt like dat idea much!)..anyway i thought God wanted me to be friends with birds too, so it might have been his way of offering me a gift!
..was proved wrong this morning when i found that the little baby had passed away...
i just dont understand what's the point of all this??? as in, y do i have to be exposed to such experiences over & over & over again, where i would come across a severely sick creature & try my best to cure it & see it die????? once, a poor puppy died on my lap jus 5 minutes before i reached the hospital...y?y?y?
am i wrong in loving them that i would be punished in this way so many times?if God really wants me to take care of them then y on earth cant they live & grow up hale & hearty??wot have i done to deserve all this??

..hope i had an answer...

of animals & mercy killings

am feeling like Not doing anything..for so long I've been sitting here, admiring the comp,.. doing nothing!!...I am sick & tired of answering the same old questions & refuting the same old logic put forward by non-vegetarians regarding vegetarianism..if you really are interested about your questions being logically answered, kindly visit:

Our conscience are our own, I'm not trying to preach anything people..but please let me live in peace with my ideas & beliefs..and you live with yours..
btw,came across this article yesterday about Arundhati-i dunno how many of you have heard of her..she is this eighty year old elephant who was very popular among tourists @ Rajaji Park, Dehradun. Everything was fine until a few days back when she met with an accident & faced multiple fractures on her right foot. The animal has since then, been under excruciating pain & the veterinarians say that nothing can be done to relieve her of it. Hence, her best friend, the 'mahout' along with the doctors, have decided to put an end to her pains by putting her to sleep forever..however, the citizens & the animal welfare organization People for Animals have protested against it & Arundhati's fate yet now remains undecided.
I don't know how much justified we are in keeping a loved one alive just for our sake when it would be to his/her best interest to pass away..is it not to some extent thinking things only from our perspective??..i know euthanasia or mercy-killing is a debatable issue but then for cases like Arundhati's, what's the point in making it pass away slowly bearing that insufferable pain..is it not better to lovingly put the baby to sleep..??
P.S. one of my friend says that i was surely an animal in my previous birth, most probably a stray!maybe thats true!!anyway, I dont regret that, if that is the reason behind my weakness for these hapless beings, then am more than happy that i was one..
