I’ve been in Hyderabad for 3 months now. 3 months? Wow. I can’t believe it myself. Time, be thou my friend.
Hmm…I don’t know what to write about now. The still-prevailing caste prejudice, which has disguised itself rather cleverly? The ignorance of (, India aside,) the world on the achievements of Paralympians? or on a more selfish note, my own strangeness at school?
Let’s talk about animals!
I’ve been planning to volunteer at the Blue Cross here in Hyderabad…It’s just so exciting! Mom won’t buy me a dog, for reasons I know but refuse to understand.
But planning began a few months ago…much before we even knew we were coming back to India for good. Staying in Saudi, I did yearn for a pet dog as much as I do here, but in a moment of intelligence remembered that I had my holidays to enjoy in…Something fun and productive at the same time- volunteering at the Blue Cross. So I researched, and googled, and almost nearly applied…but then held myself back, “Wait till the tickets are booked”, I said to myself.
But things weren’t meant to be a smooth ride as such. After all, life is a loop the loop rollercoaster…hehe…that brings back memories from my trip to Jeddah…I’ll tell you (who I know are no one, for now, :p ) about that some other day. Mom’s contract wasn’t renewed, and we had to come back to Hyderabad.
Though my mind’s still cluttered and arranging all the remnants of relocation, I’ve reached a stage when I’m comfortable even in the mess. A manageable mess, that can be cleared up bit by bit, day by day. Hopefully, by the end of Dusshera holidays, I should be set.
I keep asking Mom to get a dog. I want one! I told her, that if she did, I’d leave all social media, except WordPress, of course, cause WordPress isn’t addictive, especially on the (about) 7-year-old laptop…and Quora….IF she bought me a dog.
Unconditional love from a little puppy is all I need right now.
We can go out for a morning run, we can play once I’m done with tuition, and she/he’ll know exactly what to whine when I’m whining.
Feel good to be wanted.
Which reminds me, I have a weird sort of crush on this guy. He has a goatee, because of which Mom and Bunny nicknamed him ‘The Goatee Guy’. I have a molecule-size crush on him and try my best not to look at him at all.
The weird thing is that I have a crush on him only when I see him. So the remaining 6 days of the week I don’t have a crush on him or on anyone. Besides, I don’t even know him. Eye candy. Just so distracting to look at. But, he’s at least 4 years elder than me, and I’m certain I’m not the first person who’s had a crush on him. Anyway, no crushes otherwise, which is a new thing for me…I’ve been having crushes since 2nd grade.
And it feels good to be wanted. Because dogs are different from people. They don’t know you one day and then ignore you the next. They don’t make you nervous about what they think about you. They’re very expressive, and bank on your expressiveness because they love you. REALLY love you. A lot.
God! I’m sleepy now.
Ttyl, ta-ta for now!
