Your Friendly Philosopher & Guide

There is another notion where in people try to find someone who matches their interest to get married. But the truth is otherwise. You will always get married to someone with whom you don’t match, and with whom your interests vary completely. That is the irony of life or we can call it the funny side of life.

I watched the Will Smith starring movie ‘Pursuit of Happyness’ recently. One thing good about foreign movies are they always try to show the truth. Had it been an Indian movie, I am sure – his wife leaving Christopher Gardner just because he doesn’t have a good paying job part would have been edited. Instead they would have shown a very naïve and supporting wife giving him all her ornaments to try something else. End of the day the truth about life is – if as a husband you continue to earn less money, your marital life will get screwed big time.

What has this blog to do with White Mice?

Very few people know that White Mice make excellent pets, and that they are available very easily in any pet shop. People have major mind blocks towards rats thinking they might lead to rat fever or they might lead to plague. In fact white rats are very clean animals, and need very less attention.

I love animals, and if given a chance I would not mind even domesticating a Tiger. I want my children to be sensitive towards animals, and I have heard many people saying children become more responsible amidst pets. In fact I would suggest that every family should have at least 2 or 3 children, 1 tree and 1 pet compulsorily.

I decided to buy white mice from Moore Market, Chennai and as usual my wife said a clear ‘no.’ She rebelled and stopped talking to me for a day, and told me she won’t look after the mice at all. She knows perfectly that I travel a lot, and looking after the mice will be a bit difficult for me when I travel. Not that she hates animals, just that she hates to take responsibilities.

I usually don’t listen to others. And if someone says a ‘no’, I deliberately go ahead and do it just for the heck of it. That is exactly what I did. I wanted to buy one mouse, and as my wife rebelled I bought 2 mice.

My children are having great fun with them these days, and the joy I see on their faces is priceless! I pat on my back everyday saying – good I didn’t listen to my wife.
