Offered without comment, a bit from Salman Khan's blog:

When I return home from shooting everyday, as a routine, I first spend time with my two champions, whom I’ve named Myson and Myjaan. They are my life and I am passionate about them. While I do not humanize them I dislike referring to them as dogs or my pets. This is because they are a part of me, my family and they share my every joy and sorrow. They understand me completely and there is such a big bond, such a rapport that I share with them that it moves me beyond words. The best time whenever I get a Sunday off is the time I spend being with them. Myjaan is far smarter and naughtier than Myson, she always insists I pet her first and creates a big fuss if I get to Myson before her. They are also my sounding boards, they ground me and help me to think.

When I go on long outdoor stints and cannot take them with me, I speak to them on the phone. I have an amplifier system installed at home, so that they can hear me loud and clear…and I can feel them close with the sounds that they make. (emphasis mine). My domestic staff tells me that they recognize my voice and respond to it.


Hmm. Well, I had heard of people doing weird things like trying to make babies coo into phones before they can speak. Who knows... some day, when I have a dog of my own....

  1. Hey!

    Lovely, lovely post! :) I've always sort of liked Salman but he does have a thing for exaggeration! But then, I haven't ever had a pet, so it's unfair to comment. Maybe true love is like that.

    And it's just too much fun to read the comments to his posts. Hilarious! :)

  5. well...while the focus is on the dogs...think of this, most men like dabling in electronic stuff...hooking up an amthe phone to a speaker system sounds totally in that league

    heck i've got vague electronic stuff that i never have used beyond the first time

    p.s. this is a nice idea come to think of it...should try this on my lil daughter!! hehe

  10. You know it isn't weird at all... like if I am away and I know they are going to be missing me I call home and somebody let's them hear my voice, they react- dogs are very expressive, like little babies.
