I had a very busy and hectic day coming from work early evening, and I drove back home, hoping that I wouldn’t have any other calls from our dear customers…. I reached and open the gate to get my car inside.
Then I heard this oh so familiar voice in the back yard, and she came rushing to me with all her energy, eyes lit up, and jumping all around with joy, and barking with utter happiness.
You will never get this feeling of sheer joy, this kind of welcome, and warmth, not even from your family, after being away for only around 10 hours …
This one was my 9-year-old dog.
It is true that dogs are men’s best friend… we have heard so many stories about that!!
It turns out that the look of mutual recognition between human and dog reflects thousands of years of evolution, a bond programmed into our very body chemistry.

Embarking on the board of Advisors is Mr.Prateek Saluja, an Australian citizen poised to explore the potential of the ECTA treaty between Australia and India. Amidst India’s manufacturing evolution, he perceives a shift towards prioritizing quality and brand building over mass-produced goods. Founder of ‘Saint Exim PTY Ltd,’ Prateek envisions establishing enduring trust between Indian industries and the Australian market.

With a rich background as the former Marketing Head of Rajasthan at Reliance Retail, Prateek adeptly navigated the challenges of a price-elastic market. His ownership of the Saneer Boutique Hotel stands as a testament to his commitment to delivering exceptional, standardized services.

Beyond his professional endeavors, Mr.Prateek is a passionate advocate for animal rights and he won us over when he chose to adopt a pet. Mr.Prateek is a proud adopter of Chloe, an indie dog, who made history as the first canine chief guest at the “Share the World” festival dedicated to coexistence. Driven by this experience, Mr.Prateek actively channels his energy towards supporting animals in the city, emphasizing adoption and offering his expertise to develop sustainable financial models for local shelters and animal welfare initiatives. His commitment extends beyond boardrooms, embodying a holistic approach to business leadership and societal responsibility.

He founded Ahimsagram at Jaipur, seven years ago with the purpose of creating a compassionate world with Nonviolent Communication(NVC) and collaborative governance systems for individuals as well as organisations.

This bond can be traced back at least 15,000 to 30,000 years ago. Well, to be frank, nobody knows exactly when it began. It’s not enough to say that the relationship is symbiotic Love rarely touches the reasoning parts of the brain. It touches the dreamy parts, the devoted parts—it touches the parts we sometimes call the heart. For many thousands of years, it’s been and will remain the place for them. It has been proven that having a dog (or for that matter any pet) often improves your health. By just petting or touching your dog, releases hormones that can lower blood pressure, and reduce stress.  They will be the first to sense and to feel your different moods. Then why should we let them wander, uncared for, in the rain, and cold, the scorching sun, walking around with sad eyes, looking for water, food, and care?? So many times they are exposed to accidents, ill-treatment, and bacteria.

So, I believe that Go Nirvana Foundation is doing a fantastic and wonderful job by what their project is all about – paying our heavy debts to them for their several years of loyal companionship,  by giving their soul (because YES they do have souls), respect, and show our gratitude, in the form of a shelter, care, and love. It’s a really laudable venture, which I would like to support, and request all of you out there to do so. Because we love THEM, for all that they are, all that they stand for, and all that they give…
