Do you like pets, especially dogs? I love dogs and I have two pet dogs. In this pandemic, you may have seen people abandoning their pets. Imagining abandoning your pets just because you think that you will get a virus from your buddy? I get so angry with such people!

Ambassador of Love, Peace, and Compassion

You may wonder why am I talking so much about pets and dogs today? Today I am going to chat with someone who cares a lot about dogs! And introduce you to a brand new book titled ‘The DOGtrine of Peace,' written by none other than our own favorite, Manjiri Prabhu.

It was seven in the morning as I rose from my bed. Usually, the time me waking up is 6 in the morning, but on Sundays, I keep an extra hour of nap. The call was at ten in the morning though.

I freshened up and stepped into the kitchen. Early morning coffee is something that wakes me up fully. I made coffee and some breakfast for myself and sat calmly on the sofa.

As I drank my coffee and ate the toast, I thought of what I wanted to speak with Manjiri. There was so much I wanted to ask her about this exciting new book…. I was online at ten and waited for her to join. After about two minutes I could see her picture on my iPad.

Hi!, I was quite excited.

Hi, she replied, enthusiastically.

I was ready with my questions for Manjiri. It was a unique book for me. The DOGtrine of Peace, an enticing title it is, isn't it?

LOVE FOR DOGS

Being a dog lover, I wanted to know what inspired Manjiri to write about dogs. And why dogs only, why not other animals like cats? I was curious. Dogs are an essential part of the book. What is the inspiration behind it? I asked.

She gave it a thought for a minute. I have always loved dogs. To me, they are beings of love and light and their unconditional love is legendary. Dogs have been a part of our lives for thousands of years and we have taken them for granted.

Through Reflection's Nurturing Lens

Anil buzzed the doorbell repeatedly, while his feet tapped the ground to the rhythm of a jolly song he kept crooning. Resembling a tiny bird that made abrupt, sharp movements with antsy eyes, he rehearsed how he'd break the news of his promotion to his wife, Sujata-a raise that was well-earned, an outcome of several fair-unfair competitions.
