PHOTOGRAPHY, MARCH PROMPT
Ok to be a little moo-dy!
March Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “Pet People”
Know when to hoof it, baby!
We were to cross a bridge over the Narmada canal near Gandhinagar, Gujarat when we could find a huge herd of cattle crossing by.
We waited. I thought to capture such beautiful sight but the cowherd said he would allow only if he was clicked along.
I was about to set my right foot forward but a few happenings of the past restricted me! So I had to smile wide with this consolation ‘prize’!!
I do love pets but ‘from a distance’! Sounds weird, right!? Well, here it goes.
A pet pussycat, Minnie scratched 5-6-year old me on my right foot at my maternal grandpa’s village just because it was being ‘playful’!
I howled and screamed. Finally, I was taken to the pharmacy nearby where the compounder cleaned the ‘microscopic’ wound with betadine solution and applied some antiseptic.
In yet another incident at the same place, there was a too restless pup, Jackie.
I was 7 then and was engrossed in a deep conversation with my grandpa. Out came this fellow from somewhere and suddenly started vehemently scratching the colorful strap sandal of my right leg.
Chill ran down my spine and I literally jumped over my grandpa’s lap to ‘save’ myself!
I was 10 and was playing badminton with a buddy when the shuttle cock fell near our big Jersey breed ‘cool-headed’ cow, Lakshmi.
She was tied in the backyard chewing the cud. When I went near her to pick up the shuttle cock she suddenly hit my right thigh so hard that I fell off.
My friend came to rescue me writhing in pain. However, paracetamol and sprain spray helped.
I better be careful with my right foot (wink wink) and love ‘pets’ from a distance!
The moment I could find Mary Chang Story Writer posting the March prompt, I already knew that I would participate with this click (chuckle). Hearty thanks for the opportunity.
