The Hounds of Gachibowli

“On a cold,chilly early winter morning there ran good ol’abbulugadu…blessed,fearless,driven,unafraid …… “

This singular event literally scared me off my fearless wits 😛 (there! Now u know that its scary 😀 )

So there I decided to resume the ever-so-notorious 10K runs.Early morning’s a cold,eerie place on the Gachibowli free way.At 5:15 AM on a cold November morning , its dark,cold and lonely.Makes one think that the soul reaver just finished the last soul-morsel on the Gachibowli-tolichowki road :O

Then it happened .I was doing my fast jog routine when all of a sudden came this lean stray dog just about the size of my kid-sister’s pencil box.

“Hey dog come near me and you will be kallas ! ” I thought.I got ready to give it the kick of its life !

Then suddenly it let out a howl (aren’t wolves supposed to do that) And then it happened …

Not one , not two ….but seven of them now came up rallying behind the first one.They didnt look like pencil boxes anymore.They were like the Hound of Baskervilles multiplied by eight 😦

“Oh boy Now its like in The Omen movie .These mongrels are gonna rip me apart ”

My first impulse ….”Run abbulu run !” Oh crap! No matter how much of a running man I am ,no matter how much I might potentially rock on Dec. 15th & 16th (hehe..if placements dont come in the way) , I cant outrun insane, pissed off, hungry dogs ,right ? My hair stood up ,like it literally got (yeah! U guessed it right )electrified :p

Remember!At school , we used to do the statue routine.So I did that.tThen,three of those Gachobowli hounds circled around me 🙂 & probabaly decided that I was not going to kick them.And then , the Sun came out .

Like in the climax of lotr 2 the Sun probably discouraged them to carry out their orc-ish agenda.They barked to each other and packed off in a jiffy,almost like a vanishing act in movies where the demons glide away in the mist 😀

and so once again …

“On a cold,chilly early winter morning there ran good ol’ abbulugadu …blessed,fearless,driven,unafraid …… “
