Madira & Menaka




Once in a while when I happen to be in Guwahati, I often go on a walk along the river beach. And  when I do so, I am being accompanied by  a pair of adorable Rescue dogs who also happen to come out for walks from their station. Madira and Menaka....both are very friendly and I have a lot of fun with them. They are from amongst the 15 trained dogs of the 1BN National Disaster Response Force stationed by the Brahmaputra River.

National Disaster Response Force.

  Menaka's turn to pose for a photograph.

A happy and friendly Menaka smiling away...:)
     
             Sitting down and relaxing while me, mom and the officials 
were talking about them...

          Menaka giving a far look as to what is happening in 
the distance...

Madira watches one direction while Menaka scans 
the other directions with alertness......

          Madira Sings for us while Menaka is not in the mood 
to sing but yes, she did sing a little later...

End of song.....time to sit still.

Obedient girls they are..lifting their paws on the order 
of their officials...

 One can see scars on Menaka's belly. It is surgery scars for
they took her to Jaipur and tried breeding but unluckily 
her babies dies inside her womb and had to be 
surgically removed.


 Two intelligent, adorable, friendly, females whose purpose 
in life is to save lives of we human beings...

Gauri and Ganesh of Umananda Island



I often visit the Umananda/Peacock Island in the middle of the Brahmaputra river to offer my prayers at the temple of Umananda i.e. Uma(Goddess Parvati) and Ananda(Lord Shiva) with their son Lord Ganesh. It always gives me immense pleasure and peace of mind in doing so and feel as if my batteries are charged to take on the challenges of life. But besides doing my puja there, it is also an oportunity to react with the few animals kept there. The Golden Langurs, the slide show of their pictures I had published in one of my earlier posts, a cat, a few goats, a cow and a calf. Today I am presenting some photographically captured beautiful moments spent there with Gauri the Cow and Ganesh, her calf who is one full of mischief on one of my trips there with my Dad and Mom.

his mischievous nature. 

Ganesh expecting for something to eat from Mom.

Moooo... not satisfied with the cake and patties Mom gave, 
he decided to give her a chase for more snacks :))

Still looking for more......

Finally having his fill, decided to give Mom a lick in appreciation.. ....Cute way of saying thanks by a mischievous calf :))
