"Welcome home honey", I said to my new little puppy who came home this month to live with me. She is just a month old and is all ready to jump in and around your lap. The moment you look at her innocent face, you will forget all your worries and tension and become stress free. The love a dog can give you is perhaps the only unconditional love you can get other than from any human being. The love they give you is beyond expectations and without asking anything in return from us. Thats the beauty of a dog. We humans need to learn many things from these wonderful animals.
Animals especially dogs provide spiritual qualities such as love, joy, healing, forgiveness, patience, courage, and gratitude- virtues that are often lacking in our modern high-tech yet low-touch lives.Studies have shown that owning and handling dogs significantly benefits health, and thats not just for the young; they help elderly owners live longer, healthier, and more enjoyable lives.
He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, till the last beat of this heart. Its saddening to see so many malnourished and injured dogs in the streets each day. We must do our little bit for these God-gifted creatures.
As it is rightly said by a gentlemen Louis Saben that " No matter how little money and how few possessions you own, having a dog makes you rich. So everyone out there what are you still thinking? Go ahead and get yourself a dog!! Believe me, it will change your life for the better!

Yoga - Food for the mind, body and soul
In todays competitve and fast world, evryone is on a race to success. As a result of this tight schedule of ours and on the path of connecting with so many people each day, we are loosing on connecting with oursleves, on knowing and hearing are inner voice. The stress we are giving to our body, mind and soul is irrepairable.
Why are we feeding only our stomach with all the delicious food n drinks. What about food for our soul? So is there any solution to this problem we face each day? Or do we wish to live the rest of our lives with the same monotony and finally end up in hospital with respiratory problems, spinal problems, migrane attacks etc and a list of medicines to add on to all that! But to all this can we still do something for ourselves, mainly our soul? Yes we can. We can feed it a food called YOGA.
The ultimate goal of yoga is, to help you to transcend yourself and attain enlightenment. As the Bhagavad-Gita says, “A person is said to have achieved yoga, the union with the Self, when the perfectly disciplined mind gets freedom from all desires, and becomes absorbed in the Self alone.” Yoga is a way of acheiving those peoples aim of "A Healthy Mind in a Healthy Body". The health benefits of yoga can be acheieved from the yoga postures(Asanas), yoga breathing(Pranayama), and mediation. It is a solution to all the problems faced by our bodies.
So why not start feeding our mind, body and soul as well. Lastly we should keep in mind that the more love we give to ourselves, the more love our body will return back to us. And it is rightly said that You cannot love anyone else until you have loved yourself.
