K9 or humans?

I'm sure many would agree with me that the thing that two-wheelers dread while riding bikes after hours is the blazing headlights of vehicles approaching them! My daily route back home @ 11PM is two-ways through and through, not properly lit and with all vehicles approaching me and very few driving in the same direction as I am! The reasons why I dread late-night driving/riding are:

  1. Innumerable Potholes on the road which go by unnoticed till the last moment, causing extensive damage to your bike as well as to your back!
  2. Mindless humans crossing the roads without bothering to check for any approaching traffic and with an air of extreme confidence that none would cause them hurt
  3. Stray Dogs, either sleeping on the roads or chasing two-wheelers or scavenging for food near garbage bins or chasing another stray dog, either for mating or for displaying their territorial aggression.

Now, if a human comes in front of your vehicle, chances are that both of you stop, glare at each other and have a war of words, you bang into him, have a war of words and probably leading to physical blows, but at the end of the day, it is no grievous injuries to anyone.

But if it is a canine (K9) coming in front of your vehicle, chances are that you would not even have noticed that and you ride over it or bang into it or get a huge shudder coz it would immediately have glared its teeth against you for riding so close to it and invading its privacy. Worst of all, many a dog might have broken its leg and would limp for some months, but the rider would have suffered head injuries or even death.

The reason I am typing this blog post is to point out that DOGS are better off when they are PETS and not good as STRAYS. This is exactly opposite to what Tamanna says here.

Secularism -- Majority and Minority

This post is not dedicated to anyone and is just a forwarded email which has been copied and pasted over here... and i am forced to assume that this is the truth! I had posted earlier on the same topic and here i go again! Talking abt majority and minority as a part of the comments in my previous post, i was forced to put this in points below: 1. Do you consider that - Sanskrit is communal and Urdu is secular, Mandir is Communal and Masjid is Secular, Sadhu is Communal and Imam is secular,VandeMatharam is communal and Allah-O-Akbar is secular, Shriman is communal and Mian is secular, Hinduism is Communal and Islam is Secular? 2. Why Godhra is blown out of proportion, when no-one talks of the ethnic cleansing of 4 lakh Hindus from Kashmir? 3. When Christian and Muslim schools can teach Bible and Quran, Why Hindus cannot teach Gita in our schools? 4. When Haj pilgrims are given subsidy, why Hindu pilgrims to Amarnath, Sabarimalai & Kailash Mansarovar are taxed? 5. If Muslims & C...

The Truth - "Kannada Barutha"??? Kannada barbeku!

"Kannada Barutha??", ah! I am sure most of you in Bangalore would have heard this, but what is "kannada barutha?" here it goes. Bangalore the IT capital of India , the silicon city and now a Metro city opened its gates to almost all kinds of people. Very evidently the recent poll census proved that there are only 47% of original inhabitants in Bangalore/bengaluru. The life style of the city has seen a gradual change with Pizza Corners replacing MTR's, classy eat out's replacing "Vidyarthi Bhavans" and flashy pub's replacing all our "Mahalakshmi wine shops". "Change is inevitable" from the days of BEML, HAL and BHEL to INFOSYS, WIPRO; Bangalore has a new look now on the world map. Gone are the days where a typical Sunday for any bangalorean was a nice romantic walk on the pavements of "LALBAGH...", "rave idli and coffee.." at the nearest yet old looking MTR and a wonderful Annavra film either at Santosh o...

Love or Infatuation

Infatuation is instant desire. It is one set of glands calling to another. Love, on the other hand, is friendship that has caught fire. It takes root and grows - one day at a time. Infatuation is marked by a feeling of insecurity, you are excited and eager, but not genuinely happy. There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon not examine too closely. It might spoil the dream. Love is the quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfection. It is real, it gives you strength and grows beyond you - to bolster your beloved. You are warned by his/her presence, even when is away. Long distances do not separate you. You want him/her near, but near or far, you know he/she is yours and you can wait. Infatuation says, "We must get married right away. I can't risk losing him/her." Love says, "Be patient, Don't Panic. He/she is yours. Plan your future with confidence." Infatuation...
