Marley and Me-

"Marley and Me" by Josh Grogan is an absolute delight for dog lovers. And if you don't love dogs, by the time you're done with it, you will be. Like James Herriot, he sees the humor in both animals and people. Anyone who's ever had a dog will be able to recognize their own pet in Marley- the dog who's always doing the wrong thing at the wrong time- the one who steals food off the kid's plates, who 'does his business' in the wrong places, who chews up everything in sight, and hates being left at home alone.

So much of what Grogan wrote on was incredibly real to me. I was reminded on my own dog, who wants to be with his family all the time, who insists on taking his humans for walks and not the other way round, and always knows when we're going off and leaving him behind.

And as Grogan describes how Marley grows from a yappy pup to a old dogs with aches and pains, but still young inside, I recognize painfully, the changes my own dog is also going through, and the lesson in mortality that all pet owners learn.

Tenant Commandments

'Tenant Commandments'- a play by Crazy Mohan, performed by the Stage Friends group. Definitely worth a watch. It does run a bit long, but is incredibly funny. All those Tamil jokes are perfectly placed, and some hit the nail on the head perfectly. I loved the comment ' If it is an Iyer wedding, it must be in Madrac Chembur, or Bridgewater' ... so true!

The various arcs of people knit in together very well at the end. If you get a chance, this is one play definitely worth watching. http://cities.sulekha.com/united-states/new-jersey/events/Play/2009/02/tenant-commandments-tamil-comedy-play.htm
