I never thought i would be opening this blogspot again. I decided its time to quit writing about everything happening in my life. But, recent turn of events made me rethink about the whole idea. Instead of writing what's happening around in my life, I have decided to write about what's been happening around me. Today i realized this while a i saw a small life taking its last few breaths.
A life whether an animal's or human's is equally important. As i came out of my hostel to go to the cinema hall for the movie (X-Men - First Class), I saw two dogs fighting over something. First I thought it was a soft toy, a few moments later to my horror i realized it was the 3-week old puppy. I stood there watching in horror how the dog tried to eat the dog and the mother trying to protect it. I was transfixed in my place. I shouted finally. My watchman came running and threw stones at the other dog. The other dog ran away. The puppy seemed fine and i took a deep sigh. But as the mother dog dragged its baby away, I saw the blood trails all over the mud. Again, i was transfixed to the spot.
I could hear the puppy crying, while the mother dog licked its wounds the blood continued to flow out. The horrors kept hitting me, the puppy's neck was eaten away. There was no way the puppy could save. I just stood there. I tried to getting near to try to help it, but the mother dog wouldn't allow me to. As I stood there crying, I didn't take a single step. I walked away letting the baby puppy to die. I realized at later that I could have stayed back a few more moments call an ambulance or enquire for Blue Cross number. But instead I left for the movie. As i was travelling to the cinema hall, I realized I had been so selfish and thought about myself and the movie but not about a dying puppy.
If I had stayed back i would have been able to, maybe atleast try, to save the baby puppy from dying. I COULD HAVE TRIED. But, I didn't. It moved me a lot to think about what we are doing daily. That puppy while dying told me how selfish I am being. Im still depressed to the fact that I walked away from something that was dying. Maybe a person can't be more selfish than this! My selfishness costed a life.
