This Album is dedicated to “Ruby the dog”, all dog lovers as pet and all dogs who went missing in Manipur landing up in people’s plate, without giving a chance to the owner to say Good bye.

STOP stealing people’s pet. STOP eating people’s pet. If you want to eat, buy it, raise your own and eat it but STOP eating by stealing people’s pet.

Ruby The Dog

Such an adorable little dog, With soft black and white fur, And expressive beautiful eyes, Winning everyone’s heart, The minute she walked in our home.

She guarded the house, Welcoming family and friends with her wagging tail, And barking notoriously warning us of strangers, She practically grew up with us, Witnessing every milestones of our life.

She gets older, bony and almost blind, And one fine day she went for a walk never to return back, Words spread that Ruby was hit by a truck, But no trace of her and no body found, And we never got a chance to say goodbye.

It’s a small community, Where you always know who is doing what, But no one will say anything about Ruby’s truck accident, Time went by, Searches continues without any success.

Mr. Mei fully drunk walks by our and his “Leirak” (road leading to home), Swaying and barely able to walk, As though he had the last ounce of guilt left in drunken body, He confessed that he ate one and only “Matum” (piece)of Ruby, As the others are gobbled up by the other drunks.

Summers could be terrible; in a crowded place like this place to look for a shelter isn’t easy. When the temperature soars we could be wild. But at a time like this, when the bright hot ball has gone down, I feel again that I am alive. May it’s the spongy surface, sometimes the breeze and then the edible litters.

I love pets, specially dogs, as the saying goes ‘A dog is a man’s best friend’ and I do find that to be very true. I took inspiration from the context of ‘friendship and relationships’, the foundation or core of which I feel is/should be based on loyalty, faithfulness and willingness to ‘wait’, to brave through the ups and downs of life..

It was really a scorching day. We had exhausted all our water supplies, no one was willing to be adventurous. So we just walked into a monastery. Beside the heavy gilded door was a large pot filled up to its brim with water, it was where the dog was spotted. He knew that the lens was on him. For a while I thought I had just disturbed someone, then the expression, the guilty, made me capture this. Picture courtesy : Bobo Meitei

I have been fed and trained, trained to do their bidding. I am a mere pet; if I didn’t have a master, I would have been one of those vulnerable ones. It was hard, but rigorous practice makes one get used to it. I am a mere animal who wants to live. And I do this, for I want to live. Picture courtesy : Bobo Meitei
