Who Am I?
I am not sure who I am, this website is a attempt to bring to front the person who lives within me, but is so much a stranger to me.
There are few contradicting people in me for sure… one is an activist, another is a businessman and one is an adventure seeker.
Why the hell an activist?
“Just look at us. Everything is backwards; everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the major media destroy information and religions destroy spirituality” … Michael Ellner
Either I am the wrong one in this world or the world is wrong. I am unable to find myself much wrong… and so I am trying to put the world into (what I think is) the right order.
Activist or Adventure freak ?
And why an explorer then ?
“We either make ourselves happy or miserable. The amount of work is the same”–Carlos Castaneda
“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever ” … Gandhiji
Limitations in life are self imposed. Having a joyous or sorrowful life is rarely decided by circumstances… it is mostly decided by the state of the mind. I can not restrain myself from not enjoying the adventure waiting for me, from not expressing out the feelings and words wanting to come out of my heart, from not being expressive of the love and care I have for people and Animals I care for and also I have no restrain on directing my hatred towards the people who abuse their powers.
I know I have only 1 life to live, as re-birth I have no faith on. If there were a hell and a heaven, I would only get the former as athiests can not hope to get heaven. And the regular threatenings and ocassional assaults to remind me… life can be much shorter and abrupt than I imagine it is.
So, two contradicting people who live in me are…
A fighter who is …
• A die hard Animal rights advocate
• A civic rights and anti-corruption activist
• A vocal speaker
• A sleuth undercover investigator
• A passionate lawyer
• A strict Animal welfare officer
Yet, within me lives a person who doesn’t sound to have ever been serious about anything. I also happen to be a …
• Compassionate and freaky businessman
• An adventure freak
• A dedicated lover
• A sensible husband
• A super mischievous father
• An avid traveler
Browse through these pages and also my blog posts to know about the various facets of my life and the stories of my life, as they happen.
Why no photo?
My nature of undercover work requires that no one is able to identify me by my face. I pose as a businessman, customer, agent, middleman, seller, smuggler, officer or whatever depending on the situation. I therefore refrain from publishing my pictures in any media, including newspapers, TV interviews and my own website and blog.
I wasn’t so careful till the last assault and failed raid.. which I later realized because someone found my picture on my website.

July 15, 2009 at 12:33 PMRespected Sir,
I rescued a dog 4 years back, she is a stray might be of a mixed breed. Actually i’m going back to my native place, and looking for a shelter for her. I don’t know any place where i can give her for adoption. I really need help in this matter. I’ll be very much obliged if you can help me in this matter. I just can’t abandon her. please reply me in this matter.
My e-mail id is —– malvikamukherjee@gmail.com

July 15, 2009 at 7:34 PMRespected Sir,
Thank you so much on your prompt reply, sorry for not going into details earlier, because i tried so many options earlier and not getting a ray of hope. I tried contacting Animal Farm to Ms.Sucheta, and even tried contacting Shelter Pune to Mrs.Leela, but there is no place available. then i got an emailid of resqct@gmail.com, i sent all the details but got nothing in reply.
Actually i live in Dhanbad (Jharkhand), which is quite far for her to travel as she has never ever traveled before, i even tried for a flight from pune to kolkata but even then she’ll be in cargo. Frankly speaking i’ll not be able to risk her life. Sir i’ve 8 pets of German Spitz at my home and 9 strays. i really can’t take any chance b’coz from kolkata it’s still another 5 hour journey.
I really need help, I’ll be very grateful if you can help me in this matter as you are the only hope i can see. I’ll be leaving in the first week of Aug.
Sir i kindly request you to keep my problem on your priority.
if you can give me your e-mail id then i can send Tipsy’s photo, if it could be of some help finding her shelter.
i’ll surely do talk on the numbers provided by you.
i’m really looking forward for some help.
I’m really thankful to you sir.

October 8, 2009 at 8:36 AMRespected Sir,
We want to thank you for being there with us through the traumatic phase when our dog luke was ruthlessly shot dead by our neighbour the army officer. Your prompt advice, assistance and presence has reassured us that there are die hard animal activists here in pune who will go out of their way for the sake of the animal. Thank you for being with us at the post mortem. We really cant thank you enough for being so selfless. All we can pray for now is that all your efforts and the efforts of the police pay off and that justice is done so that this kind of disgusting act is never repeated by anyone. Thank you!!

October 13, 2009 at 6:19 PMDear Pooja,
I am glad that my presence ensured that the law as in motion. I am happy that they could not hush up the case. I had a fear of the flesh and blood… well this post mortem was an experience that would help me get over the fear… as I invade slaughter houses and work to end the barbarism there.
Pooja, we can not bring back Luke. However we have told the city that civilian or army… who ever you are … the system works. And there is someone who will ensure that the system works… at least for the voiceless animals.
Manoj
