As I struggle to write again, i find myself at a loss of ideas 2day…deres no Gray String of gloom dats causing d struggle…bt 2day is 4 sure one of dose days wen it just doesn’t click :-(Dere r no dangling pointers to wild straying thoughts in my mind 2day,which i usually tame to get out of them a piece of writing. And i click sadly to the “Show Desktop” icon dat was trying to grab my attention since long.Just den something on d desktop caught my attention n made me smile…From 🙁 to 🙂 instantly…Dats d effect d new wallpaper had on me…Earlier, in an attempt to chng d wallpaper, i had blindly right clicked on an image file and set dat as desktop background without even bothering wt it was all about.But now it had made me realise d worth of a wallpaper…And most importantly, it had made me smile and ofcourse i found wt i was missing so badly-my share of straying thoughts!
Wondering wt it was dat could have such an effect on me…Well, the desktop background had around 18 to 20 cuuuuuuteee white pups, all looking at me…and i had to smile as an acknowledgement! Although doggys and pups or more appropriately pets are d last thing i would want in real life…bt somehow i find dem cute,provided dey mantain a respectable distance from me.Dat ws about pets, so u might very well guess wts d case wid me wen d animal is not d tamed one to b kept at home.
A thing as trivial as a Wallpaper had done its trick on me…Wt could have transformed to gloom had completely vanished…and i was lost in another world…A world dat was non-existant now…bt of which, i was a part, a year and a half ago.Here it goes…D Lost World, as i call it now…All my loving roomies had dis “Love for animals” thing attached to dere hearts..(I guess dats y dey loved me soo much,,,n still do!!! ) n i was d only one who could not stand d sight of an animal close to me. Dis wallpaper brought back fond memories of by gone days wen i had pointed out every possible reason(right or wrong) for not keeping a small stray pup at home. And den Karuna said…” C it wont cause any trouble to u…its such a small thing, its just harmless…And i’ll take care of it…Its my Duty!” Gibu…it was lovingly named,n every1 wondered wt it meant!!!
And today it were d pups in my wallpaper which made me feel alive again…Knowingly, i would never had allowed dem to stray around on my desktop.Never.Hmmmm,but i guess things r not always wt we want dem to be like…rite?And den, we strt liking wtever we have…It takes time..bt dis sure does happen. Like i’ve strted liking my new wallpaper…maybe coz it struck an old chord…N here i realise how much i miss dem all-My Three Animal Lovers!!!!
Wet eyes I have… remembered Gibu! The cute little thing.. i had given this name because that was the first word which came out when I saw that sweetu!
In retrospect..
Gibu hamara hai…
Gibu sabse pyara hai
Yahi hai is flat ka flat anthem!

Smiles…smiles and more smiles!
Those were prettier days.. May be we’ll think of the present someday in our future as pretty too…
That’s the way it is I guess!!
