Blacky don’t bark at me.
I ain’t no stranger.
I live just 3 blocks away.
I happen to go home late in the night most of the days. My neighborhood is a fairly calm place, where not many are on the road after 8 pm. This leaves me as the lone person walking on the road most of the times.
There is always some song that keeps running in the back of my mind like a distant radio. And when I am alone these songs come out of my mouth that I sing that to myself.
Here is a situation song from Green Day that comes to my mind:
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don’t know where it goes
But it’s home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I’m the only one and I walk alone
Well I would be wrong if I say I walk alone. There are quite a few street dogs that walk, run, <censored> , and fight at that time.
And like any other gangs, this ‘gang of dogs’ has a gang leader. He is small; He is black, and He is mad as hell, as my boss at work. I think the other dogs think he belongs to an occult society; otherwise there is no reason why they allowed him to be the self proclaimed leader that he is.
For me he is as soothing as Himesh Reshamiya’s “Suroooorrrrrrr: , and as lovely as Rakhi’s face.
This Chief, for some reasons best known to him, doesn’t like the sight of me singing to myself and walking. Had he met Himesh, he would have changed his opinion.
He barks, barks as loud as a trumpet on a Bose speaker, whenever he sees me. Then all his accomplices come running from all over the place barking and supporting his cause (Which I am totally unaware of)
What’s worse is that the dogs inside the houses too join this moment and bark, howl and do what not.
One day I stopped while the Chief was barking at me. He came running, barking and making gestures at me. And some how he got an intuition that it’s better not to come near me, so he applied breaks, skidded of the road and stopped, but still he didn’t stop his barking. See...Something is scared of me at last!
Somehow I did not wanna show my fear to it. I said... see blacky...I am better than you in all ways...
1. I am fairer than you
2. I am taller than you
3. I have more teeth than you...
4. I have huge family than yours.
5. And I have better fan than yours
6. I have better voice than yours
So back off…
See... be a wise man. Do not battle with the stronger...
And then I walked my way... There really come the huge pursue...
Damn... I walk, ran, jump... And then flew...
I happen to land in a warm place but unfortunately in the wet dunk like all those Maharanis of olden days have their mud bath.
And if you haven’t figured it out yet, yes, the first three lines of this post are of the song I am writing for him.
Waise bhi I don’t write for dogs... so that is it...
Phir kya hua??
Kya hoga… I went home and cleaned up the shit and slept...
