Aashi— Thanks for sharing your views. I had jotted down these words in order to commemorate the friendship I share with my blue ribbed “jhilke.” So, obviously you and I differ here, but I do agree on “love means internal link from one soul to another soul.” Disco dancer— Sometimes, when you spare just few minutes, you get to live a whole different world than the one you are so accustomed to. That’s what I tried achieving here. While at it, no I wasn’t smoking pot. I wonder how that’d influence my writing…if it does wonders, I’ll have to give it a shot .On a second thought, I’ll pass. LooteKukur— You are so predictable K…we (my Homo sapiens buddy and I) thought you’d pay me a visit here. Thanks for stopping by. It’s scary how you and I ride the same thought of train sometime. I was about to post a picture of “Old Faithful” along with the article, but decided against it, as I’ll be going on our adventures for a year more and I don’t want people eyeing my “jhilke” and then me with a questionable gaze. Flippu— I have my moments you know. And I just had to pen this one. My way of paying my dues to my “jhilke,” btw I don’t fancy dragging “jhilke” everywhere, he doesn’t fancy scorching sun. Captain— I’m kicking, as my “Old faithful” hasn’t given up on me either. Btw what does “LTNS” stand for? My acronyms have gone haywire. Yes, I am definitely a dog person, actually let me correct myself-I’m an animal person. One more thing, I am utterly baffled if you read it wrong or if I am reading your comment wrong- did I mistakenly mention a four-legged creature somewhere?? Sajhauser— Thank you! Finally somebody beside Loote gets what I am talking about. I didn’t know I was such a bad writer you know, but again I am getting my share of reality check… (I am Reebok and I’ve lasted this long cause of my friend, who likes to give my rest here and there. I mostly hibernate during the summer except for the time when she goes visiting hills, which of course isn’t that often. She likes to tuck me to bed every summer. Stuffs my tummy with her winter socks, that makes me look stout but I like that look; keeps my figure in check)
