Dog Wars

This post is not about the dysfunctional system in the suburbs but about DOGS and the menace they create.Though dubbed man's best friend i prefer to keep my distance from them.I had a terrible confrontation with a Alsatian once and lost four kilos from my thigh.Due to the gore involved in the incident i will refrain from going into the details.So this particular incident in my 8th grade changed me from being a dog lover to a paranoid human petrified of anything that has sharp teeth,nails(vinod)claws.I stay away from untamed dogs,cats and strays as much as possible.

Its been four years since i have moved into the suburbs and the biggest problem i had ,besides adjusting to the new environment ,was that of adjusting to the martial law of the dogs in my street.Seriously...after 10 'o clock the curfew begins and the dogs take over the street.It is impossible to move around without them snarling menacingly at you.It is a risk i normally do not take.

Having a lot of free time to kill i began to name them...

1) Black beast -big fucking dog...as big as a Pig...forgot to mention..the territory is also shared by pigs also. i think he is the alpha male

2) Scarface --This dog was subjected to gruesome tests by some mad scientist living nearby i reckon,because this dog's face is distorted in the most ugly way which would make Scarface(from 'the Texas chain saw massacre ) look elegant. ***Menaka Gandhi are you reading this???

3)Fucked---this dog convinced me that someone's sexual orientation in my neighborhood was on psychotic lines.

4)Big Bad Brownie and 5)Spots.


These were the ruling dogs in my street...what is their lifestyle....?? Fuck around the entire day...howl in the night ...fight with the dogs from the next lane..and bite the occasional postman or the courier guy...

I made my peace with the dogs in the first week i shifted to the suburbs by offering them biscuits and i stay away from them as much as possible.If i am late..i ask my dad to pick me up from the railway station nearby to avoid any confrontation.
Who said dogs were cute and cuddly.....??? They should have a look at the dogs ruling my streets.......i hear from the society that they are planning to remove the gurkha,because his job is easily taken over by these "best-friends of man"....wait wait....i can hear the gurkha wailing in the background...think he got his pink slip...or did he get mauled by Big bad Brownie?????
