Bugsy | Padmanabh Padiyar

An year ago, on September the 15^th, There came into the world a cute lil pup.. we named her Bugsy. Lemme let you in on a lil secret on how I came up with the name.

Back in 2009, I was watching this movie called “Bed time Stories” Starring Adam Sandler.. In the movie were a couple of kids who owned a bug eyed guinea pig. It was named Bugsy.. Found it very cute and I decided that if ever I would own a pet, I would name it Bugsy but at that time I didn’t have the slightest hint that I would be picking up a dog. And when I did pick up one, I named her Bugsy.. Though not a guinea pig but a beautiful labmaraner. Call me Obsessed 😉

She just turned One last week. Got her a cake from Pet-Chef @ Shantinagar, Bengaluru. One of the most yummiest cakes I could have ever asked for Bugsy. It was a real treat.. The moment I stepped in to my house, she was all over me with her four paws n a wagging tail, tryin to sniff out the aroma from the still warm cake.

Here’s a couple of pics.. sorry for not uploading a high res pic.. too busy to download from the cam. These were taken from my HTC Android.

@Pet Chef Bangalore: Thank you so much Kamini. You have no idea how much it meant. Bugsy is more a family member to us than just a dog. Am sure you’d be hearing from me soon. Btw my folks n I also managed to sneak away quite a generous helping of the yummy apple walnut cake. And also a share for Hugsy who is Bugsys sister from another mother 😉 You are doing a fantastic job in making sure our pets are not deprived of yummy treats.

Cheerios,

Am kinda almost on track keeping up with my bucket list.. Things i wanna accomplish before i start to regret bout all the past happenings in my life. MBAs in progress, Bugsy is keepin me on my toes while i am home, Weekends with my best buddies from college, movies, etc.

I gotta thank my wonderful family who have been with me through the thick n thin. They have indeed been the greatest strength for me. I sometimes used to wonder did i do right by coming back home to them. Sometimes the feeling of losing your freedom can bog you down but in my case, the pros have been much higher than the cons of being back home n staying with family. Something i guess i missed out for almost a decade. I thank God for making me more spiritual, and blessing our home.

I have learnt a lot in the past few years, some of these learnings could seem as if it were right out of Osho or Baba Ramdevs ashram but these have been true in my case.

Shit Happens to everyone.. While only few are open to speak bout it few try to cover it up.. a covered up shit raises more stink which drives people to probe more into it than one which is found in the open. Only You can clear the mess.
You got just one short life.. quit worrying bout moments where you gave up too soon too easy.. Take multiple vacations, Take a break, make all the moments count.
Follow your aspirations.. Don’t let the idiots talk you out of it. You will find more people pessimistic than optimistic. If you don’t know where you are going, you will wind up somewhere else.
Build a home around folks you love and you won’t have a sorry place to return to ever.
Get a dog, i got ma dahlin’ Bugsy.. May be the only one in the whole world who knows to love unconditionally. We are in a world where we need it the most.
Remember, it aint over until it’s over. Be Passionate bout your work.
People change, priorities change over time.. no use brooding over em.
Laugh n Smile a Lot … Did ya know it takes 43 muscles to frown while only 17 to smile 🙂
Be Thankful for today, Pray for a brighter tomorrow.

Read this Latin proverb on the web, “Dum vita est, spes est”… It means “While there is Life, There is Hope”… It made a lot of sense. Considering it to be my next tattoo 😉

Cheerios,
