“This is a rule of racing: No race has ever been won in the first corner; many have been lost there.”
On recommendation of Aditya Mahajan ( Aseem’s brother), I saw this movie “the Art of racing in the rain” today and I just can’t stop thinking of LEO (https://www.instagram.com/leomahajan/?hl=en) . This movie is an exact depiction of how Aseem and Leo have bonded over years, their relationship is exactly like that of Danny and Enzo. Leo is a dog with a purpose, he has a way of coming back to Aseem. Leo is Aseem’s best friend and it’s not just any particular day but in 6 years of my relationship with Aseem, he has always maintained no one has loved him more than his father (who left us in 2009) and Leo, not even me or his mom.
After seeing this movie and hearing the thoughts of the dog in the movie and spending time with you, I realize even more what an amazing creature you are. Leo, you’re truly his best companion. You’re capable of providing him the comfort and warmth of a family just on your own. You’re a dog with a purpose. With your immense capability to bear every sad moment silently and dancing in all of our happy moments.
It has never mattered to you whether it was a big house or a very small apartment, on several occasions you have proved that you’re the creature who just needed place in our hearts. Well I haven’t seen God but I do believe God exists in us, in his creations, for me if someone asks me have you seen God, I would say I have seen God, he lives with us, He is Leo, a bundle of unconditional love for all. Leo, we are so grateful for your life. Your presence makes my heart swell with joy. I know you know Aseem loves you more than anyone in this whole wide world. He has cried several times with tears for you and probably only you see those tears and find your way back to him. It’s a privilege for me that you two together love me. I can’t be more grateful for your friendship, companionship and love.
