Dharamshala News: Dare to Dream, President Barack OBAMA 2009, 22nd January, 2009.!
..Not that the sheer genius of AR Rehman was ever questionable, it was heart warming to see India making it to the Golden Globe Award and the Oscar nominations. 'Slumdog Millionaire', is a beautiful sensitive portrayal of the indomitable 'Human Spirit' which can conquer all evils, including poverty...It would be foolish to limit this to just India, Mumbai the City of Dreams, since poverty is a worldwide phenomena today. In my personal file, I will always remember this celluliod experience as, " I Dare to Dream"!
Dreams, can touch everyone's life, while 'Hope' tiptowing on ahead, sees first the Sun arise...the foolish, the wise, the rich, the poor, Dogs and Human Beings, alike can all afford to 'Dream'!. I dream of giving to the World my 'Spiritually Energizing Holidays', which can awake the 'human spirit' to realising, the God within themselves and becoming responsible Global Citizens !
Let us all be in 'Unity' today with President Barack Obama, America's Dream Come True, ushering in 'Hope' and the fearless 'Vision' of the Young...Let us go one step further and start 're-building' a Universe, which can give 'Equal Opportunity' and Promise 'Economic Prosperity' to All. Iam very sure in my mind, more so in my Heart, that not only India, but all great Nations of the World will be together, in giving to our children the universal Anthem of Peace, which can only be created by the sheer genius of 'Human Endeavour' and 'Good Humanity'.
It is going to take time, some sacrifices, coupled with the insatiable passion of those who have loved, but there is no reason why each one of us cannot say, " I Dare to Dream" !
" After all faith in itself, I believe is the best virtue of the Human Heart !! "

Exclusive Pet Care, requires a few essential DOs and DONTs. We all love our pet animals..especially, your Dogs & Cats.
1. Every weekend do make it a point to brush and clean your pet. Some times in Winters, coats need to be made as they feel cold.
2. If you have pet dogs in the house make sure after four months your pet is risk-free, by getting your pet innoculated with the rabies vaccine, minimum once a year or as advised by your Vet. For complete precaution, if anyone is bitten by a dog or cat, go through the complete anti-rabies injection course.
3. If your pet is showing, any symtoms of illness, show to a Vet on time. Common infection like food poisoning and scabies are curable. Also check up your pet's diet as some food ingredients, causes irritation and un-natural aggression in them. Dogs are irritable when ill or hurt so handle them very carefully, as they tend to nip or bite.
4. If there are perennial problems of disease-infected stray dogs or there are careless owners who let their dogs unattended on the roads regularly, you can report the matter to the local administration who can handle the problem.
5.This coming week-end be a good Pet Care owner and a responsible citizen by giving this information to your neighbourhood, panchayats, clubs and associations, who can help us take better care of our Pets.
