Some relationships...

They say children who grow up with pets are affectionate and warm. I was always amused to see people get so emotional with their pets, hug them, take care of them and all the amazing things they did...which i think i never could experience.My mom grew up petting a dog and i could see how emotional she was when he passed away. In fact i some how never was confident to be near any creature who had more speed than me. I am not sure where the roots lie for this, but i am certainly not an animal lover, though i respect their space. 

So as life helps you encounter something new each day, i came across a pet named RANI. She is the most silent bitch i ever saw in my life. I have no memory of when i heard her bark last. Famously known as Rani - the sleeping beauty (she is awake all night guarding the campus), has a lot to teach me.She is in the youth services office and loved by many, especially school children. Initially when  i met Rani, she walked around me sniffing away to glory. I am very sure she guessed the bitch i was and decided never to hello me again. She has her own standards and loves her space. Days passed by and i kept observing Rani. When people spoke about her naughtiness, her attitude, her expression...i enjoyed listening to them. I some how fell in love with her personality. So every time i saw her, i started saying hello to her and she looked at me with absolutely no expression. Some few idiots worried me pushing her on me and making me feel uncomfortable, also teasing me. Yet, i never gave up on RANI. I started caring about her in my own ways. Months passed and RANI i had our own understanding at a distance. One day i was seated in the office, when someone outside bursted  crackers. RANI was shivering , she was so scared. She came up to me looking for comfort. There is the first time i touched her. 

Though i never knew how to pet a dog. I observed how others did. I really had no idea how to go about it, yet i could give her a human touch. I made her calm and there is where RANI and i became friends. Today when i go to office, she is calm and fast asleep. When i call out her name, she looks at me and gets back to her sleep. Nothing much is communicated, but her presence makes me feel good. 

What i learnt from her: Demand for your space and respect the space of others, Don't care a damn of what others say...do as you wish, patience is the key to all your problems, be happy no matter what, always maintain your good standards, though you know you are a bitch - ensure that you make others bark.... hehe!!

Some relationships are simply special.... you just need a heart to understand.
