Animal testing...is it needed?! NO.

been a long time since i blogged about anything. a lot has happened since the last blog.
good news... i'm now a Reiki practitioner along with being a photographer, a designer, a bedouin and a bathroom singer!  and lately...trying to go vegan n i know i will succeed.

bad news... my sweet puppy dog, the love of my life, moved on. don't think i will ever get over her. just like i never got over my pals who went away to doggie heaven before her :(
its amazing what you can learn from your animal friends, unconditional love being topmost on that list. she was a shinning example of that. and yet i took so long to imbibe that quality...am not even close to how she was. i still have conditions attached that i must let go of.

man has the best examples of goodness right in front of his eyes and yet he cannot see them, he is blind!
so blind that he will torture that same bundle of goodness n love to get over his frustrations, to overcome his fears, to make more money and sometimes even just for kicks. everyday we hear about animals being slaughtered, stray dogs being beaten and tortured, inhuman treatment being meted out to lab animals in the name of research, and so on. in fact just the other day i saw this video of a rabbit being used to test shampoo...the lab assistant caught a rabbit clamped at its neck, opened his eye wide and poured shampoo into it with a dropper to test how much it hurts the eye!!!  i couldn't believe my eyes... such brutality.

there are  many more such videos of mans brutality towards the animals who have equal right to share this planet and live free. watching them shakes my faith in humanity...and the ones who torture them in the various labs all over the world, go about their work desensitized to the pain they are inflicting on a daily basis. WHY??? so that our shampoo doesn't hurt our eyes, our botox injection doesn't give us a rash, our antibiotic doesn't make us sick...

watch this video and your heart will ache.



there are many more like this video...and many more on other issues like puppy mills; factory farming of animals; moneys, dogs, cats, mice being tortured in the name of science everywhere, everyday...
and all this despite the fact that the law does not require these companies to test on animals. and our species will react differently to chemicals as compared with any other species. our DNA is different. so what's the point in inflicting all this pain?!

here's another one that broke my heart, it made me cry, and i know it will break yours too... but please watch it to get a glimpse of reality.


please sign every petition you can against animal testing, ban every product that you are aware has been tested on animals, go vegan if you can and help make this world a better place for our animal friends.

THE PLANET WAS MEANT TO BE HOME FOR US ALL.

rumi... my fav poet. kisalay... my fav artist

For my favourite artist...kisalay...the love of my life...
i borrow from rumi the words i could not write
to express the love i feel.















The minute i heard my first love story

I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.


Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.
They are in each other all along.


-RUMI.

song of the day

thank you meredith brooks...

I'm a bitch, i'm a lover
I'm a child, i'm a mother
I'm a sinner, i'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, i'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know u wouldn't want it any other way......

happiness... to just be.



today i feel like "happy"...
he does as he feels, he says what he means,
he laughs when he feels like it,
cries when he feels like it too,
 no holding back nothing.
he paints his world in his own fav colours
n from today...i will too!
thank you kisalay for the simple man "happy" is!
ur vision is my dream...simple happy truthful living.
muah.

what dreams may come...

   saw this fantastic film today. reinforced my beliefs in afterlife, soul mates, love, thoughts. thought is real, physical is not... it's nice to know someone else on this planet thinks the same way...n there may be many more...i don't know! 
   we are what we think we are. we are who we think we are. so who stops us from painting our world the way we wish to see it? who's stopping me....ME! i'm the one holding back. feeding my personal hell with fears n pain. i have so much to be thankful for, so much brightness n happiness around me. yet there are so many excuses to fuel the fires of my personal hell. and hell is personal...it sure is! 
   denial supersedes all else in this horrid space. denial of life, denial of love, denial of all things beautiful. denial of self esteem, self love, denial of the self indeed.
i exist...where i want to exist, when i want to exist n how i wish to exist. u will see me as i see me. but i don't see me too well, so how can u?
   i long to break out of this bubble. i long to give back all the love i get everyday from the one who loves me and understands me and is the only one who can see thru my personal hell n recognise me...the real me. my soulmate...i know he will always be by my side, guide me, catch me when i fall, forgive my sins, show me what he sees when he sees me, show me the wonders of life. how i long to return that love in equal measure...but denial seems to be winning all the time.
   today i shall put myself to the task...(for want of a better word)...to see my world as i wish to see it, to paint it with the colours i love, to paint my dreams into reality, to stop denying the love that is so graciously given to me, to believe in my thoughts, to harness the power of my positive thoughts, to love my mind, to give back the love with all my heart...
and why not?!
