Dogs

An entire article devoted to the most wonderful creatures on this planet. They were bred to be loyal companions to humans. And boy are they still doing their duty with all the sincerity!
I'll state my stand right away. I do consider dogs to be better living beings than humans. Human beings are selfish, violent, always eager to hurt each other and are completely sucking the life out of this planet. Why then is there a traffic jam when a human gets hurt in an accident but no one even feels sorry about running over a dead dogs body? Why are their lives less valuable to us and human life more when clearly humans haven't done much to deserve it?
On the brighter side, I have realised we have the potential to be better. I take care of the strays in my society. Recently a stray gave birth to a litter of 5. While 2 perished, 3 of them still live. It seems the people in my society have decided to let go of their indifference seeing me care for them. Now they are fed thrice a day and little children play with them instead of stoning them. I see that as quite a victory.
I think I deserve a pat on the back. :)

Day 1

So as a part of the introduction, I would like to clarify that this is going to be a personal blog. In most probability it might end up being a private blog.
I am not a writer. I consider myself more of a reader. But I have 6 months to go so I decided I might as well document it. Which reminds me, the introduction. 
I am a 20 something graduate who just quit her first job to study more. I have 6 months until my MBA entrances. 6 very long months. And in these 6 months I have a lot of things to do. By a lot of things I mean a lot of introspection.
Let me clarify that I am not a lazy young adult who talks and thinks more than she does. Our 20s are definitely the time for us to do as much as we can. But as we live our fast paced lives, it is very important to pause and reflect. This is one reason I am looking forward to my 6 months of unemployment. I am lucky enough to be supported by a family in every front of life - emotional as well as financial for now and I can afford to slow down for a while and consider before I tread any further. If I can why not? To hell with "breaks" that look oh so bad on your CV. To hell with CVs. Life is more than that.
