Being a nature lover, I have always liked to be close to nature. I have tried to help animals in need. Once, I saw a small puppy dying of hunger. I felt pity for him and took him home. By the way, many people saw me holding a dirty puppy and walking home. Some well-wishers informed my mom before I reached home. When I reached home, she was ready to scold me. She told me to keep the orphaned dog away, otherwise she would not allow me to enter the home. I stood outside the house for quite some time until it started raining. Finally, she allowed me and the puppy to come in. The story doesn’t end here. I loved that puppy very much and always used to play with it. One day, the puppy was acting strange and when I touched it, it bit my left hand’s little finger. Needless to say, I was taken to the doctor and had to take 7 anti-rabies injections. Since then, I never try to get close to dogs.
Another incident was with a cow. As I saw a red cow moving in front of my house , sudden religious pengs started in my mind by seeing the holy cow. I took a bucket filled with water and kept in front of the cow (gau seva). May be I entered the personal zone of the cow or she didn’t like my services?? She hit me hard and I fell down on the ground. Luckily my mom came out immediately to save me and I had to get three stitches below my lips.
My philanthropic work didn’t stop here. One day I saw a tiny kitten in our house. It was unable to jump the high walls and crying day and night. I felt sorry for her. I tried to catch and rescue it. In this process the kitten got scared and scratched my hands. Again, I was taken to the doctor.
Since then, I am so scared of the animals. I thought animals are good but better to keep a distance relationship to them 😄.
