    Dear Sri Thyagarajan:

    I am glad you enjoyed reading this snippet. I am old enough to know that where there is love, there is Godliness. I have not personally read well about all the Avatars of Maha Vishnu barring a few. I enjoy stressing the imagination of feeding Oliver as offering Prasad to the Lord Himself.

    Dear V sir,

    So it is all oink, oink or grunt grunt for you for the past week eh! Glad you are enjoying Oliver's company so much - it certainly is a different experience.

    Glad you are able to experience so much of mindfulness and reap the benefits as well, enjoying the feeling of total amnesia! When the neighbors return, I am sure you will miss your morning routine with Oliver but like a grandparent, you can still reap the benefits of visiting him whenever it works I am sure! Enjoy!

    @Anusha2917,

    He is adorable with black face and white body. I considered it a privilege to look after him.

    Dear Sabitha,

    That is right. I am truly enjoying my time with him. I realize mindfulness is an ongoing learning experience. I am a good student learning from the teachers who are ahead of me. Yes. I am a proud Grandpa to Oliver, the fine young man.

    I remember Lord Emsworth and Empress of Blandings of PGW when I read about Oliver.

    Dear Syamala:

    Thank you for your response. It is interesting to know that Lord Emsworth always longing for nothing more than talking to his favorite pig, or potter peacefully in idyllic gardens of Blandings Castle. I am also longing for my next opportunity to interact with Oliver now that my neighbor is back last night. :)

    Dearest Viswa uncle,

    I read your snippet in the morning and while I was driving to the University I saw an uncle walking with the dog. Since that moment I was picturising you and Oliver and my mindfulness attempt shifted to another continent. It was really kind of you to look after a dog and Oliver is one lucky being

    Love,
    Vani

    My Dearest Vani,

    Oliver is a pig with black face and white body. This is the first time I have seen anyone raising a Pig as a pet. In the US, I have seen snakes, rabbits, frogs, chameleons, lizards, tortoises, etc. but never a pig. Time spent with him was precious. He is very special especially the way he welcomed me, how he wagged his tail, in his excitement how he walked in a straight line with his heavy body, etc. I will be missing meeting him everyday now. :(
