Shirley !

Tales of Shirley have spread far and wide, but the tail of Shirley still flings things far and wide. Shirley is rumoured to be a divine incarnation with powers to lick your worries - off your nose! But here's the catch - you have to deserve to be licked - and you must await the time - the precise moment when Shirley would cast her sad gaze into your eyes, approach your face, and lick you into your rebirth - to reveal a positive and powerful you! Don't believe me? Well, meet Shirley and decide for your self!

Shirley became a part of our family, when Heema was in dire need of someone to call her own, when things in our family got less than smooth sailing. With the loss of our grandparents from tragic illnesses, and my migration to Pune for a 4 year Graduation course to add to that, Heema was left lost and lonely  - until a little white puppy flew in from Nasik. After that, like magic, Mumma, Papa, Heema and Me were finally on the same page!

Now Papa and Mumma have an automatic blood pressure detection and control mechanism that launches all 42 kgs of white mass to keep their voice within acceptable decibel limits. Mumma has a prayer buddy who diligently prays with her morning and night, every day. Papa has his custom cardio training machine that doesn't rest until he has thrown her enough 'fetches'. I got my own Shrink, that allows me to talk, cuddle, play and relax (yes! relaxing is serious business - there are strict timings and the place is by our single French window).

And Heema, well she got her very own pet. And she has trained Shirley in custom-made 'Irritation Therapy' - yes, irritating the hell out of your pet! (Did I warn you that my sister is a bit of a devil?)

Well Shirley, I dedicate this project to you, and vow to make it live up to your awesomeness!
