die like a dog !!!!


One noon, I went to visit my friend’s den, 5 kms away from mine. It was monsoon, and the climate was magical. Like every time, this time too I carried a small bag with me to earn some memories for myself. What I saw in the middle of the lane was the dead body of a young street dog. The bones were already out of the flesh, the eyes popped out of the face, the blood turned the color of road into red, and the smell of death was dissolved in air, and no one cared about it. Most probably by 24 hours from that time, any sweeper must have thrown the body to the nearest drain, or the birds and other carnivorous will finish each muscles and bones of his body.
This is a fact, but what was the fault of the dog. It was a dog, it could have been a man or a lady. For a man or a lady, for sure some one would have picked him up from the road, or rushed to the hospital for recovery, but if you are dead on the spot, the story will not be a much different from the dog. Some stranger will get you to nearest health center, or nearest graveyard. Your family will find out the incident in few hours or days, tears and sadness will revel and in few days every one will start there normal routine. They will hardly have any time to cry for you. If I compare both the case, the time a man is remembered is relatively more then a dog, but the ultimate fate is the same. Even after we lost the great entrepreneur Mr. Dhirubhai no one in his organization ever stopped working, the money was still coming, the efforts were on, and it was a matter of time, a living legend turned as an unforgettable past. That was Mr. Ambani, if without his presence, no one was stopped, then what about the normal man ?
Anyone is least bothered about them, and why one should? Doesn’t it sound obstructive that when we face a sudden loss, our time of grief, sorrow and recovery, all are too short. Of course, some of us, do not easily adjust with the situation, but the time make them do it. But still time does it!
