harmony

it was 12 pm. i came home after attending a surprisingly interactive 3d lecture. i changed and left for work. had lunch on the way at gypsy. reached studio by 12.30. the curtains were closed 2day unlike everyday.
i stepped in to find one of the two dogs sleeping inside on the floor on a doormat stretching her legs upwards..wow! ma'm informed me that she'd spoken to a community that works for street dogs and they were coming to take the two dogs that we' had almost tamed. hence she'd managed to get blacky inside so that she doesn't not turn up when they come.. creamy(the white one, as the kids in the building have named) was missing tho. so when i came in, ma'm asked me to keep an eye on blacky so she'd try n rescue creamy. but as she walked out, blacky followed ...so she cudnt go. she asked another colleague from the neighbouring office to go look out.
we continued working... the maid came by then so we had to take a break. 2day she'd come with her 'three' daughters! they had lovely names which i dont remember. one of them was 'savera'.. yes. really nice and bright. so ma'm was chatting with the kids as blacky lay on her lap for some pampering.. it was cute. i shud have had the cam!
after the maid had cleaned the floor, we went back in. within 10 minutes, the girl who was supposed to look out for creamy came back all sweating and full of worry. she was panting..she said she'd found the pup lil ahead on the same lane. it was lying down..it wasnt moving...and it was not sleeping... it was 'dead'. our pup was dead. ma'm got off the chair and ran to see him. sir joined her. i was only keeping my fingers crossed. but they came back with a bad news. blacky was still inside. our landlord's daughter whos also fond of the pups, came down to hug blacky. the atmosphere was like we'd lost a family member. all were quiet.
we got back to work. i was thinking about this lovely bond between two very different forms of life. how our studio is full of harmony and love for nature. we work with pups in and around, kids playing in the compound visit us to catch up, we are surrounded by dense trees and fruit and flower plants... and we'r working on a project for children books...it feels great to be a part of it, all of it. i feel blessed. m learning so much about how every minutest of things is filled with life, its only up to us to realize and celebrate it. keep your eyes open, life is indeed beautiful..!
