Dogs are biting. Please help!!!

No. This time I am not writing to gain attention on myself, but on the stray dog menace.

I was pained to hear another incident of a child mauled to death by stray dogs. My heart cried seeing the baby's picture.

I am afraid of bringing up my baby in the city because of this stray dog menace. I am afraid to leave her alone on the road when she grows up.

I am afraid to take her out on a stroll which I enjoy the most. I have no plan yet in my mind as to what I would do when I am attacked by dogs.

I was very much afraid of dogs when I was pregnant.

Would vaccination and sterilization of dogs prevented what had happened to the eighteen month old???

These incidents are happening again and again. Why is silence still prevalent on the issue? Do we have anything on hand to counter this?

I was first bitten by a dog in Mysore. It was the day I turned eighteen. What? The dog didn’t like me becoming an adult? Back then I liked dogs and this incident didn't change my mind. It was not that horrifying too.

Then later in my third year of engineering I was bit by a dog of my classmate. Then too I didn't dislike them.

But now with series of such attacks I hate them. I am afraid of them.

The Beginning….

I have heard of these ‘BLOGS’. When the first time I heard this word, I didn’t know the meaning, but nevertheless cracked it, not by looking into the dictionary but by the context in which it was used more often.

I wanted to write one by the very idea of it but was never really inspired. So what made me write today? I have a colleague who writes blog. I gave it a thought and thought what should my first blog, my introductory blog be. But it was just there as a thought and I never took time to write it off until I saw this movie ‘The Shawshank Redemption’ in the midnight of 18-Apr-2009(Saturday). I don’t know if that inspired me, but it transcended my heart to write this on a paper and to eventually have it transformed to a blog when I sit in front of a computer.

There are few things that come to my mind as to why I would write a blog. I am sure… Wait a minute. Can I take the privilege of using ‘ALL’? …ALL bloggers would agree to it ‘To gain ATTENTION’. Secondly, in the course of it, am I going to tell everything? ‘NO’, because my writing would reflect a more ‘CONSCIOUS ME’ than a ‘RELAXED ME’ as this is going to expose to a bunch of known, unknown people.

It just happened to pass through my mind that someone in the past would have written a blog like the one here. Well god makes beings with similar mindsets because how then do you explain he creates so many in a short span.

… Hmm whatever it might be, I have decided to post this one not without running a grammar and spell check :-)
