Flachi - The Unsung Hero

Jyotika Chhibber fondly remembers Flachi, the heroic dog who conquered abandonment with unconditional love, and emerged as a sterling example of courage and sacrifice.

As a child, on being scolded or admonished by elders, I used to enter my room and share my angst with the beautiful beings who always surrounded me. I would see them as colourful (mainly white or pink), playful beings and hear their musical sounds. I felt nestled in their presence and uninhibitedly spoke what they told me. They were my guides and angels, which I learnt much later in life. I could locate lost things, and predict death, examination marks, accidents, and natural disasters, with great accuracy, much to the astonishment and horror of my family members. I was scolded and threatened by priests and relatives to not say ominous things. But I guess it was my destiny to become a healer, angel communicator and clairvoyant. As I grew up, several people in my life recognised this ability of mine and helped me hone my connection with the spirit world.

Even today, the angelic beings make their loving presence felt in my life through uncanny symbols and signs. My coffee mug is one of their favourite places where they appear with messages from beyond. Almost every day, the stains inside the mugs form different shapes and symbols, telling me a story or drawing my attention to something of significance.

This time, as I sat counselling a friend whose dog had crossed the rainbow bridge sometime ago and who had been having recurrent dreams about it, I noticed that the stains in my coffee mug began to form the outline of a dog. And uncannily, the outlines resembled Flachi, my own pet dog I had had long ago. Suddenly the divination cards too began to throw up images of dogs. Memories came flooding by and Flachi appeared on my mental screen.
