My Hansie, bubble wrap and the art of happy living

I buy toys for Hansie from online stores. I usually avoid outdoor toys. He doesn’t prefer ball type toys. He is small, and most of them are too big for his mouth. He loves squeaky toys and never seems to feel afraid of those toys, which is not the case with many dogs. He likes rope toys too, but I mostly avoid them as they are not easy to clean. I run through a checklist before I buy a toy for him. 1. Indoor/Outdoor 2. Size 3. Materials used 4. Non-toxic 5. Washable.

Hansie gets another set of things to play. The soft drink plastic bottle is one of his favourites. The small neck part of the bottle makes it easy for him to grab and run. The next one is the empty sweet boxes. He will tear them into pieces. The sounds he makes and his expressions are sure to make me laugh, every time! He gets very excited when he finds a bubble wrap. I wonder how he learnt to do that. He presses the bubbles with his teeth and brings the popping sound.

Grab, drag, bark, run, jump and be joyful is what Hansie is doing with these toys, doesn’t matter which toy it is!

New Year Resolution 2015

Another new year, another ( same! ) set of new year resolutions. I wanted to read Thirukural and set target 50 last year but couldn't achieve it. But then I used one Kural in my every blog post . New Year Resolution List: For year 2016, I should shorten it to at least 1/3 of this list. At least, make it more readable ;) Reading Books: Book reading is going to be reduced this year. I am planning to reread few of the books I read last year. Of course, will find time to read books suggested by friends. I have got Bhagavad Gita tamil version from my friend and might read this before the end of 2015. I Am Malala, The Last Temptation of Jesus Christ, Mossad, 'The Madman, The Forerunner, Spirits Rebellious', Yudhargal Varalaarum Vaazkaiyum, If You Meet The Buddha On The Road Kill Him are few of the books I enjoyed reading. By the way, I have changed the FB album title from "Books I read" to "Books I read - Not To Be Shared" ;) Accounting: How difficu...

My Book Shelf - Year 2017

I find it difficult to get this reading order. And I guess it would be still harder to read them without changing the order. I may allow one or two new books to be included in this list, if required. Share book reviews and ratings with Kovil Pillai, and even join a book club on Goodreads.

December Rain - 4

I can query a bit, question a little more, but I don't go any further. I stay with no question at a point where I know I can attempt an inch deeper but I stop there to make myself comfortable and letting all that needs to be questioned and answered be God. Why do people get old, struggle to live and yet no courage to die? Even the divine Soul trembled and cried on the cross in spite of knowing that He would get the eternal of it. Such is the greatness of addiction to this life, the feel of everyday's incompleteness and the longing for the tomorrow. Of course, the breathing of an old man may take a bunch of viruses from the air and save few kids from getting infected. I mean, there is a reason for everything. For me, the "cigarette smoking causes cancer" shown before the movie is one of the most annoying advertisements - it is ugly. If anything needs to be fixed properly, it has be to dealt at the root. How about stop making cigarettes and have a law to give dea...
