Date: exactly one month prior to this Year's Independence Day!!
What a dog bite can do to you?? I know none of you would have ever thought about this question…and as usual I am here to help you out ;-)
As I celebrate the first month of the WONDERFUL experience, let me share with you what all has happened in the last one month….how was my so-called-experience.
There were some really interesting questions and statements which I faced in the last one month…
1. 1st question which everybody had in mind was kutte ne kaise kaata??
My answer: muh se!
2. How did you manage to do this??
Me: Well, you know I manage to do the weirdest thing, which people can’t even think about!
3. How did it feel like??
Me: Wonderful… a great experience…I just hope it was once in a lifetime experience!
4. Why did he target you??
Me: Maybe, he mistook me for a bone…well “mistook” won’t be entirely correct! ;-)
5. So…did u get 14 injections in your stomach?
Me: Do you really think, I would have survived that??
6. When the doc gives you injection, does it touch your bone…coz you don’t have any flesh…
Me: No no….they actually injected me in the bone!!
7. One week after the cute encounter, everyone from my sweeeetest friends to my loving brothers to my concerned colleagues have only one question in their mind (which they don’t bother to keep in their mind) ….no no, it’s not how are you….its “howz the dog doing”!!!
8. Why you, of all the people, get into these kindo situations??
Me: Coz, I am the CHOSEN ONE ;-)
9. But why you were the chosen one….you would have definitely teased him!
Me: Ya…ofcourse, I had no other work…trying to tease three street dogs at 7:20 in the morning when I am running late for work….ya ya…me totally jobless!!!
10. But why didn’t you kick that dog when he came running at you??
Me: You tend to freeze and loose the sense of thinking when such things happen… and all of it happened in a split of a second…didn’t even realize till the time it was all over!!
11. Who was more poisonous…the dog or you??
Me: Welllll!!!!! No comments!
The after-effects of the incidents on me:
o I went for the movie, The Dark Knight…and was scared to death when the batman was chased by dogs!!! One of my friends told the other, “hold Arpita else she will start screaming...batman ko bachao..batman ko bachao!”
o One friend asked me…do you feel like barking? Do you feel like walking on four limbs!!!
o I started taking the other route to my bus stop (which means an extra 250 meters)….am really scared!
o One day I was walking towards my bus stop when I saw a couple of dogs (street dogs to be precise)….I stopped for one whole minute…then searched for an auto (to take me to the bus stop which was hardly 50 feet away)…then I crossed the road…guess what…even the dogs crossed the road….I was petrified… I crossed the road again, and almost ran to my bus-stop, where the bus was about to leave….jumped into it and saw my friend grinning at me!!!
o Another day, I was walking, again to my bus-stop, when one uncle was going for a morning walk along with his dog, and suddenly I was hardly 2 meters from him when I noticed the dog, I leapt backwards and was about to run, when the owner said…”don’t worry, he won’t do anything”… I really wanted to tell him… WON’T DO ANYTHING!!! AND WHAT IF HE DOES??? But didn’t want to spoil his morning… more than that, didn’t want to spoil mine…how…well what if he sends the dog after me!!!!!!!!
o Initiated a community, “I hate dogs”, on Orkut with only three members (including me)…one of them joined just bcoz I pestered him!
o After 6 injections and one month, I can effortlessly conclude, I was always afraid of animals, but now, I am petrified… the best thing about this incident was, that I earlier used to think there aren’t any people left who’ll help a stranger in such a situation, but when one uncle helped me on the road, took me to his home and did the first-aid, it really touched me… people aren’t all that emotion-less!!

A real heart touching experience. But yaar think of the other side of the story "WOW what an experience". And to think of the fact that I love dogs, well cant comment. I agree with one of the comments made by your friend, maybe the dog took you for a bone and had a bite.

Simply Superb, NOT the incident, BUT the blog.... and i know that one of the weird question asked post "bow-wow" incidence, was raised by ME...
pyaaare shubhchintak: aise dost honge mere toh dushmano ki koi jaroorat nahi hai mujhe [:)]
Shashi: i remember, u wer the one who took this incident as a joke but i cant forget the expression u had on ur face when you saw the wound!!
Varun: Q1 n Q9 were also asked by you( apart from many other ppl)...but yess, u asked one more typical question, which has found a place in my blog [;)]
Nice Blog.. It shows all ur frustration...But really sad state of affairs.... You never know who will be the next victim
Really hilarious writeup, but no doubt it was a sad incident. Not for the dog but you;)
I guess most of the questions came to my mind too, but knowing you better didn't dare to ask those questions. Pata tha kaccha chaba jaati mujhe.
Waise another outcome of the incident was me, generally not being fearful of dogs as such started looking twice whenever there is a stray dog in the vicinity
Before I heard your news,I always believed Dogs prefererred flesh more than bone, I guess I was wrong :-)...poor dog, must have had bad eyesight..so, next time when you go out there, ensure you have some flesh on the body (I can transfer some extra of mine :-))too so that the dog,if he bites again, won't be disappointed after all his eforts. I agree its painful,I have been a victim of it. Just 1 suggestion - when you see a stranger dog, put your hands in pocket, hands/fingers are the most preferred biting point for the dogs. Hope you wont face such event again. :-)
Arpta, i think the dog that bit you was showinf off that he (or she) was macho....but so sad u were d pick..
that Batman being bit by dogs was truly an empathising one...i cudnt control laughinf at that...i understand the dog bite has imbbed so much fear in u....
A really funny and interesting post...some other questions I have which are not there in the FAQ section, please reply ....What happened to the dog?...Did he too required to take injections?...Were you his/her first victim?...Was it a dog or a bitch?...How many days did you and the dog take leave post this sad incident?...Did you plan of taking revenge?...What is your advice to others (dogs and people)when they face such a situation?....I really feel sad for the dog and hats off to her/him. Unfortunately he/she cannot narrate the incident, he/she could have gained so much popularity...taking panga with Arpita is no small thing :-)
