Hendrix

My friend, one of my nearest dearest looniest ones posted this on her blog about Halima i.e Me...

"A Day in the Life of...

Halima wanted to get Cerelac for her puppy, Hendrix. Yes, it's quite hard to accept a dog named after a musician, and that too receiving processed cereal in the same world that has children dying of hunger. But then, Halima does her fair share for serving all kinds of living beings and may Allah Accept her worship, Ameen.So she wanted to get Cerelac for Hendrix and we stopped at a pharmacy for it. Conversation that follows took place inside the store.Halima is wondering whether she should take Cerelac Banana or not, and I suggested that she had the option of choosing Cerelac 3 Fruits as well, since she was considering fruit nutrients.To which Halima replied, "Kutta hai..." in a self-explanatory tone.To which I cautioned, "Halima... Munnay ke baaray mein aisay baat nahin kartay."Pharmacist looks on. "

All I wonder is, why the distinction, whether I feed an animal or a human being? Fatima, I know how you make this distinction and where you blur it, but the rest of the world, I wonder, hasn't seen the world around with their their 3D googles on recently.

Its not just animals, its all of those who cannot speak for themselves, take a stand for themselves, feed or clothe themselves: they need someone. I mostly chose to be that someone for animals as they always get the shorter stick in our country.
