Every creature in the nature has equal rights to live. Street dogs should get the same rights as pet dogs. Many animals suffer from different types of pain just because they cannot speak. Why don’t people understand that animals too have rights? They have the right to be loved and helped. A life is precious and it should be valued by everybody

I met some 60 people during the family function last week. My mom introduced me to a quarter of them, and my granddad introduced me to the other half of the crowd. The remaining lot asked who I was. That’s how I added those many faces in my mind, all in one day. I don’t remember their names individually nor do I recall how they are related. Some of them had interesting stories to tell about me. The kid they had seen years back who was all grown now. It was a fun conversation with some knowing about their experiences and their life tales and with some I wanted to take a rain check the moment they started talking.
