PART II

I got this weird thought while on a conference call, the conversation goes like this:


"Meow"

"Is that your kitty?”

"Oh yeah, he is a sweet little kitty and he wants my attention fully but occasionally I need to work on my computer while working from home, unfortunately"

"I understand"

Try to translate the same thing to India. I am not even able to translate this scenario.

I guess we can do with raising more pets back in India. That way I think we can reduce our population and it will generate more job opportunity.

Together with the rising number of child care centers, we can do with more pet care centers, pet motels, pet fitness centers, pet care products and what not.

Another upside being, students need not struggle to keep just the human population hale and healthy, we can make vet nary science popular too.

Also, if there were more pets in India, the job opportunities will be more varied than here, for example, more cleaning service(since we believe in nature and not clean up after our dogs in India, I have seen my neighbour use all the two wheelers in the neighbourhood to relieve her dog),more normal doctors to vaccinate people against dog illnesses, more cases in domestic courts when girls decide to raise pets rather than children and Many more that I have to imagine (Not that idle or bored now)


I have seen in all Hollywood movies that most of the houses have pets but you have to see it to believe it in real life.

I have seen some dog owners with 5 to 6 dogs.

another funny thing I have noticed is ,whenever any dog is not on leash or on an extended leash and tries to come and lick you or bite you or smell you, only the dog knows what it intends, I have heard the owner say "he/she is friendly" to your typical Indian prejudiced reaction of revolt/fright.

I got so used to it now that when I am back in India; I might offer my ankles as willing bait for our own street dogs.

Once I went hiking on a steep hill and no dog,was on leash, which had come hiking with its master. So, even though my normal reaction would be to run away as much as possible from the canine family , I had no choice but to stay on path, to keep myself from falling off the hill as much as possible and just pray that they ignore my existence.There was a couple of people with a couple of dogs going the opposite direction, they turned around, yelled back at me,

"Hey, are you from India"

"Yeah"

"Meet coller here, he is from India too"

I kept searching for another person with them, when they continue,

"I got him, when he was a small puppy"

I thought good that they didn’t atleast name him Raja( pronounce as Raaachaaa)

And like any other dog, this dog came and licked me and like a true Indian, I showed a little fright and they said,

"Don’t worry, he is clean, we vaccinated him"

Hmmm I Was wondering, what happened to "he is friendly" routine.

But I guess it is expected because, it’s an Indian by birth
