The worst best dog ever!!!

The first time i met Laila, she was upside down hanging, as my friend who was smoking a cig, was checking if she was a he or a she. After that life has never been the same. First night we realized that keeping a dog was not easy at all, she could barely walk, but she cold scream for sure, the whole night passed along side her, making her comfortable. Then came the mayhem, half eaten shoes, half read newspapers, half eaten mobile phone, barking at every thing that moved at every odd hour possible, breaking things which weren’t meant to be broken, jumping all over the neighbor’s kid, barking at firecrackers, running out of the house, killing cockroaches (by making them lay upside down, i still don’t know hw the hell did she managed it), scaring pigeons and sparrows, the list goes on and on. Life changed and she became family, a very odd one to begin with. After 10 years she has calmed down, but few things never change, she still loves parle g, carrots, still chases those crows and pigeons, barks at the firecracker and still carries a innocent face.

She is one hell of a tough dog, i still remember the doctor giving anesthetic to her (for her ear operation) and saying that she will not wake up for another 3 hrs, but to the doc’s surprise she was up in 15 mins, that is how tough she is. never likes to loss control of oneself , whether it is drinking rum by mistake (after that she never wnet near the bottle) or at the doc’s clinic.

No matter what time of the day. as i enter the house she is there with her tail wagging as she goes through my bag to check for her stuff. People often ask me how do you wake up so early. . . 5:30 am to be very precise. i tell them have you ever had a dog who loves her morning walks. i don’t know how she figures out the time but 5:30am it is that i find her doing different things to wake me up.

10 yrs. . .what a run we had and we are not done yet. . .

A thought popped into my head as i was helping one of my friend on the topic of what to gift his girlfriend. Strangely the name that came into my mind was Shah Jahan and Mumtaz, and what would have happened if the whole Taj Mahal was built in this century, imagine the planing, the logistics, the human resource involved, then bank loans and above all the practicality of the whole project. i bet Shah Jahan would have a heart attack thing of that.

Ok, lets forget about all the issues of for the time being, Shah Jahan built’s the Taj Mahal with is obscene amount of wealth, political influence and gets land from Mayawati as a SC/ST. After completion he goes to Mumtaz to show what he is done for her. after inspecting the whole thing in person, i could just imagine the look on Mumtaz’s face would have been. “what a waste!!!”, “HONEY WHAT WAS THIS MONUMENT SUPPOSE TO DO??? CAN U PLEASE TELL ME AGAIN?”, to this the emperor would hv proudly said ” This is where we will bury you after you are dead”…..Huh! wtf!!!!…..Mumtaz would hv slapped him left, right and center saying “you wasted all this money (includes the money given to Mulayam’s gang to keep mouth shut), manpower, the insurance (for all the labours whose hands where cut off), the fakking time that you wasted on my tomb, which i will use it when i am dead !!!, you don’t even have a wash room in there…grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!”

Moral of the story. . . gifting has to be more on the practical side for today’s woman. . . but i bet some would still want a Taj Mahal…i pity those Guys

Haha…first reaction from people whom i tell that the place you see in the pics is Mumbai. The reason enough for me to shift there even tho the basic amenities are still not in place. . . but feels great to be in a place which feels like home. The mornings are the best and if it is raining that it is awesome.

Shot on a roof…with 5 actor friends of mine….this is my first work…..shot on dv film with a budget of rs 2500….i m very proud of it..:) march 2004 . . .

wish i could turn back time

no money…barely surviving…lots of belief…lots of hope…
