Kitten

knew when I was five years old. With that in mind, I actually met a couple of people who I knew I could trust and can make true memories with. At that point, I just realized that I made a ton of friends in high school. My eyes were light blue like a kitten. My teeth were sparkling white like a dove. My cheeks were pink like a flamingo.

PATHER PANCHALI- A FILM REVIEW Pather Panchai (Song of the little road) presents to us the complexities of life in all their rythimic harmonies. The film directed by Satyajit Ray is a poignant story of poverty and starvation at various levels and yet a story that challenges the notion that poor are bereft of happiness. Entwined into the film are moments of abject poverty meet moments of small joys that only the poor experience. The whistling sound of the train, running behind the ‘mithai wala’…

One of the reasons is that the market of Muslim population is massive. Muslims number 1.6 billion, representing 23% of all the people worldwide. (Center, 2012) Other than that, the population of the Muslim is growing rapidly. (Hackett, 2017). The word ‘halal’ literally means permissible- and in translation it is usually used as lawful.

Cats are crazy, silly creatures that tend to engage in odd behaviors such as going from being extremely grumpy one second to being unbearingly affectionate the next. They also like to eerily watch us while we pee in the bathroom and knock over things while looking straight into our eyes without a hint of guilt. Cats do the most random things that either make cat haters roll their eyes in frustration or make cat-lovers love them even more. However, there is one cat mystery that baffles even the…

Playdates with the other dogs to practice good social behaviors. The decision to make the shelter a traditional open admission shelter…

believe that dogs deserve roses. I grew up in a sanctuary home; a place for animals otherwise put to death would come live with us be retrained and given away. We had many animals; 12 white pet rats, 18 dogs, nearly 25 cats (though they had so many kittens that we would sometimes have all the way up 40 cats!) and about 18-20 fish. It was a jungle. Cats had liters behind washing machines, storks took koi from the pond. The house was always a mess. And then there was me. I hated cloth…

In the end we all agree to get him, I got to take him on a test walk around the shelter. I can never forget that day, I took his leash from the volunteer and almost fell down. Because he pulled so hard to chase a stray kitten that walking around. Thank God for the fence, after that he dragged me around the trees without even looking back at me. You can imagine my anxiety for future since my mother was clear on me having to do all the dog work after we buy him. I was so…
