A dog bit me

Today morning I was bit by a dog near my office. And I decided not to take any precautionary measure knowing well that I’m risking my life. When my friend asked me to take an injection I told that I’m not going to do it and asked to file a case if something happens to me so that it will open the eyes of others. Still I came home and cleaned the wound with spirit. It was only when I reached home that I realized I lost one of my best pants as it was torn so much and there were five teeth marks on it apart from the big tear. I haven’t informed this to anyone, and if my parents will come to know it will be a great problem. But if I die I hope they’ll have a sigh of relief as I’ve only given them pain throughout my life.

Now I’m studying if there’s any change happening to me due to the bite. I was sleeping and I got up to realize that my hand has become numb. I was not able to feel anything. I think that’s because I slept over my hand and might have caused the stoppage of blood circulation. I looked at the lines in my hand and it seemed darker and I could see few blue nerves. Then I guessed I might have not noticed it before and that’s the reason why it appears so. Could feel a heaviness in my stomach, but it might be because I didn’t have enough food yesterday night. Also I feel some heat on my body, but it might be because of the psychological effect as I’m focusing more on my body function, I guess. Well, I’m just continuing to observe what’s happening. I don’t think that I’m going to die anyway as it’s a domestic dog that bit me. Still nothing can be confirmed, ain’t it?

Well, there had been lot of shocking reports about dogs attacking kids and so far nothing much has been done. Because there are people out there who loves animals more than humans, living in comfort, who travel by their own four wheelers, who’ll never know the plight of ordinary people.

Will birth control on dogs counter all the problems? Isn’t it foolish to think that dogs being injected are not going to bite anyone? Dog owners are asked to tie belt to their dogs so that they are not caught by the corporation. The dog that bit me too has got belt around its neck. It has already bitten 15 of them in my office and still nothing has been done. And that’s the reason why I took this decision to take such a risk. Though I believe that it’s not going to bring in any change, as what matters if one dies, I feel this is what I can do. Of course my family might mourn, and I’ll fade into memories if something happens to me. But I wish if something is done before many lives, which I believe is precious, are lost.

Have we forgotten the past? (Politics)

Not so long ago happened a drama that I believe has to be awarded the world's best, when Mr. Kumaraswamy broke up with his father thereby creating his own way to the post of CM of Karnataka. Not many will remember the bitter fights between the two. Well, what was it all about? Anyone who's not mentally retarded, if given a thought can easily figure it out.

They acted so well in the drama fooling the public to believe that it's all real. One can imagine how well the father did his part in installing his son on the seat though he fought tooth and nail against him in public. Now he openly asks Mr. Yashwant Sinha to let his son continue. Have we forgotten the past?

Now, what about the agreement made when he got into power? Isn't this blatant cheating? If he cannot keep his word, how can he lead a state? I don't want to write more as I don't want to waste my time writing on something that cannot be dirtier than anything else.

Well, let me tell you that I'm not at all interested in politics as I consider it's such a dirty thing that one can ever think of. And it's for the same reason why I haven't casted a single vote till today. I've kept my hands clean at least in this matter till today. I am not a supporter of any party and I don't intend to do so in future unless a new party comes up which thinks about the welfare of public alone. This is my first ever attempt on any political issue and I'm not sure if I'll ever do it again. I just couldn't keep quite with the current developments in our state.
