It is a typical corner street sweet shop with a lot of people standing there and eating stuff. Suddenly I heard a girl shrieking at the top of her voice. I turned around and saw a dog with collar around that girl, she was eating a rasmalai along with a young lad. Both of them came near where I was standing.
That got me a little worried. If the dog would have followed them, it would have been my turn to skriek as I am equally scared of them doggies. Luckly the dog decided to sit exactly at the same spot and I started to hurry along. Suddenly two stray dogs moved in our directions and the young girl started running ahead and shrieking at the top of her voice once again.
Then the unthinkable happened. The girl was so miserable (and the guy not to be seen around amid this chaos) that I held her hand and told her nothing would happen, and that she should clam down. I added, “I understand, I am equally afraid of the dogs.” That caught her attention and she stood still. Then I asked, “where is your friend?” She was still incoherent. So, I asked her if I could drop her somewhere. That is when she regained her senses and said she was fine and smiled.
I moved on. And then nearby I saw the cow (see the picture above) with the big horns! I often meet such cows when I am driving. But today I was on foot and had the Nikon Coolpix in my handbag (it was too dark to take a decent picture with my mobile). So as a bonus, I clicked the cows and came back home quite happy. I mean it has never happened before that I consoled someone because she was scared of dogs!
Oh gosh, I got a rabies shot for my last Asia trip – ‘them dogs’ can be downright scary, especially when you ride a bike. Love that cow picture!Haven’t been here for a while (my loss), and so now I go and read what I missed!
COws are friendly animals.. so are most of the dogs (rest can be made to run away just by bending down as if you’re planning to pickup a stone and throw it at the dog)Btb Do you ride a bike (Ref: Comment above) I guess you meant while you’re driving your car…
All that the doggies wanted was some tasty food. If you would have offered one samosa and jalebi to the dogs, then everybody would have been happy.Btw…Did the girl get to finish the rasmalai or did she drop it, when she began running?If you were on foot, why did you offer to drop the girl home? Are you that strong?
Fida, I understand. Thanks for stopping by, I know you are taking a break.Shrinidhi, I know how to ride a bike but it is Fida who must be using a bike in India. You are right I mostly drive a car these days.Paradox, there were two phases, one phase of screaming when she was eating the rasmalai and then second when that guy went somewhere. I am not if she was eating something then. And I walked up to the shop but I had parked my car nearby :DI have a suspicion that you understood the car part perfectly. And thanks for using your blog id.
Ive been chased by dogs when I was a kid and I aint too fond of them either
You too Lakshmi!
The poor doggies were probably more baffled and scared than the humans…
I know where your sympathies are Sidhu!
