Maharaj – He was the King of our Good Times

A furry bundle that became an integral part of our life for 10 years. The wagging tail and wet nose woke me up each morning, such a vibrant good morning that left me overwhelmed every time. Being the first pet in the family he was completely pampered and meant the world to us. He made us stronger as a unit and loved his master, my dad to the core.

He lived true to his name “Maharaj”, his life was king size. His love for ice-cream and refusal to eat dosa without chutney still makes me think of him every time I eat either. His extreme intelligence and loyalty earned him the title of the third child in the family. His death left a huge hole in the family. There was a sense of loss akin to that of a person parting from us. It came suddenly, out of nowhere and left deep unhealed scars in all of us. Maharaj was highly loved and is terribly missed. He will always be the first child of my family
