A Bond Beyond Words
There was once a young boy named Arjun, who lived in a small village surrounded by hills and lush greenery. Arjun was an introverted, quiet boy, often in search of, and finding, solace in nature rather than in the company of other children. His days were filled with wandering through the fields, climbing trees, and watching the birds as they sailed high in the sky. But amidst all his love for nature, there was one thing that always bothered him: loneliness in his heart. One day, as Arjun was walking along the bank of the river, he heard a very small whimpering sound behind a big bush. Curious, he approached the sound with much caution. And there, lying beneath the bush, was a small, trembling puppy. Its fur was wet and matted, and it looked like it had been lost for days. Something deep inside Arjun stirred at the sight of the helpless creature. Not a second's hesitation later, he reached down and scooped up the puppy, pulling him close to his chest. The puppy, sensing the boy's kindness, stopped shaking and pressed his body up against him, warm and soft to the touch, offering a comfort Arjun hadn't realized he so desperately needed. Arjun decided to take the puppy home. He christened him Chintu. Chintu was a mixed-breed dog with big, floppy ears and a wagging tail, and he would seem to move in perfect sync with his boundless energy. The bond between Arjun and Chintu grew very rapidly. They became inseparable, like two halves of the same heart. Every morning, Arjun would wake up to Chintu's cold wet nose nudging his face, and together they would be off on newer rounds in the village. Chintu brought out a side of Arjun that nobody had ever seen. The boy who earlier shied away from people now had a companion who never judged him and loved him unconditionally. They would spend hours playing in the fields, with Chintu chasing after Arjun's shadow or fetching sticks that Arjun would throw into the air. On rainy days, they sat by the window, watching the rain pour, while Arjun narrated to Chintu stories of the world beyond their village-things he read from books or listened to from his grandparents. But this relationship didn't only change Arjun; it changed Chintu, too. What once was a frightened, shy puppy turned into a confident, happy dog in the care of Arjun. He would always protect Arjun from perceived threats by growling at anyone or anything that seemed threatening, yet never permitting his fierce protection to change his loyalty and gentleness. He knew if Arjun was sad and needed company; he lay by his side, his head rested on the boy's lap, as if to say, "I'm here for you." That summer afternoon, something strange happened. While Arjun and Chintu were having fun by the river, he slipped into the water. But the current was much stronger than it had appeared, and he was being swept downstream before he realized it. He began to struggle in a panic to stay afloat. Chintu saw his friend in distress and didn't take one more second than necessary. Down plunged the faithful dog into the water, paddling towards Arjun with all strength. Meanwhile, Arjun huffed and reached out to clutch onto Chintu's collar. The dog swam with all his might, totally desperate to bring him across. Slowly but surely, they finally reached the riverbank. Reaching the land, a tired yet relieved Arjun pulled himself out of the water, falling onto the ground. Chintu lay beside him, panting heavily but still wagging his tail as if to reassure Arjun that everything was going to be all right. Tears welled up in his eyes as he wrapped his arms tightly around Chintu, holding him close. "You saved me, Chintu," he whispered in a voice that shook with emotion. Never had he felt this bond between them so close. From that day on, Arjun knew that Chintu was not just a pet, but a member of the family. As years went by, Arjun and Chintu continued to grow together. Arjun grew into a confident youngster, whose heart was no longer burdened with loneliness as Chintu was never away from his side. One particular and known sight in the village was that of Arjun, much taller and stronger now, with Chintu always by his side, wagging his tail and eyes gleaming with happiness. The villagers would more often be found to marvel at the bond between the two. "They are like brothers," people would say. And in most ways, they were. They could understand each other in silence; their bond going beyond the simple relationship of boy and dog. It was a bond developed on trust, love, and the many memories they had built together. One evening, as the sun began to set behind the hills, bathing the village in a warm, golden light, Arjun sat on a hillock with Chintu by his side. The two of them watched as the sky started turning into hues of pink and orange, everything around them so still and quiet. Arjun looked down at Chintu, resting his head on his paws, eyes half-closed in contentment. Thanks, Chintu," Arjun whispered softly with a volume of emotion. "For always being there." Chintu lifted his head and gave a small bark, as if to say, "I'll always be here. And in that moment, as they sat next to each other, boy and dog, looking out at the world around them, Arjun knew that no matter what life threw at them, the bond between them could never break-a bond beyond words, on the purest form of love.

...About the Monkeys
"The lesson of the wooden sculpture of the Toshogu sanctuary, those famous three wise monkeys, inspires us still today. Its original message was simple and profound: “do not listen to what will lead you to do wrong”, “do not see bad behavior as natural” and “do not speak badly without reason”."
