Today is our birthday, is it because we are not beautiful that no one wishes us?

Vani and Kan were an unlikely pair, bonded by the harsh realities of street life. Vani was thin to the point of emaciation, her ribs visible through her sparse fur. Kan, blind from birth, navigated the world through an intricate tapestry of sounds and scents. Today, their shared birthday, was a stark reminder of their solitary existence.

They had no recollection of a home, no memory of a loving touch. Their world was a concrete jungle, a place of constant struggle. Vani’s hunger was a relentless companion, while Kan’s blindness was a constant challenge. Yet, they had found solace in each other’s company.

As the day wore on, a sense of despair washed over them. They watched as people walked their dogs, their laughter and joy a stark contrast to their solitary existence. Vani and Kan were seen as outcasts, their physical imperfections making them invisible to most. They were mere specks in the vast expanse of humanity, forgotten souls in a world that cared little for its smallest inhabitants.

They found solace in a quiet alleyway, a place shielded from the relentless pace of the city. Curled up together, they offered each other warmth and companionship. In the darkness, they dreamt of a different life, a life filled with love and care. But when they woke, reality was a harsh slap in the face.

Another day had passed, another birthday marked by solitude. Vani and Kan were survivors, creatures defined by resilience. Yet, in the depths of their weary hearts, a flicker of hope remained. Perhaps, just perhaps, one day, they would find a home, a place where they would be loved and cherished, not for their appearance, but for their hearts.
