Bozoical Good Times

For Bozo, Mumbai's only dog-with-his-own-blog, this has been a  very busy and exciting time.  The young daughter of the house who rescued him  as a child and took him home, was expected home on a visit, and there was a flurry of activities.

Dont know if Bozo's friends across the seas know this, but in India, its a BIG thing when a daughter of the house (mahervasheen) comes to her parental home (maher)  on a rare visit(maherpan), busy as she is in her marital home.   And Bozo, as a member of the family was totally involved.

She has now gone back, and as Bozo says, taken the Mumbai Sun with her.  Sometimes, coming down from such an exciting high , tires you. And his mentor and chronicler, Magiceye, clicked him as he was having a cool nap....

Some days
the Sun shines bright
and contrary to
what the doc says,
I feel so light in my heart.

So many years
since I came home
with the
daughter of the house;
lived,
loved
played
and
sat by their feet
as she and her brother,
fought,studied,
fooled around,
and searched their life paths
for the future.

I've been part
of exam days,
result days,
birthdays,
wedding days,
and
farewell bidaii days.
And shared
so many ups and downs.

But this has been
an exciting time.
So many laughs,
rides to airports,
trips in the mountains,
nuzzling up
and being back-rubbed
as she sat
immersed in memories
with a cup of tea...

Yes,
The Mahervasheen was home,
and
I remembered
all the good old days.

Where I come from,
this is a time
for making
a huge amount of fuss
over her,
and great food
and shopping,
not to forget,
me tagging along
in my new Gold medal.

She has gone back,
and taken
the Sun with her;
I now lie,
sleepy
and a bit fatigued
with all the excitement,
watching the Monsoon
arrive for its own Maherpan.....
