I had to write this blog.. I am still rolling on the floor with
laughter. A little background to set the context - It was 1995 when I got admitted into IIT Kharagpur. I will
spare the details of how amazingly wonderful the institution is. I spent the best four years
of my life in the shiny silvery kingdom of IIT Kharagpur. I was even lucky enough to carry
off (and later marry) a SN-ite. We have been living happily since the last seven years,
with occasional volcanic disruptions in our marital life when the subject of our CGPA
comparison comes up. I am being unfairly blamed of adopting 'unfair' means to pass my
exams. We have a 4 year old son and he is being stereophonically brain washed that IIT KGP
is the only place to be.
Coming back to the subject of this blog - I was browsing though one of the IIT Kharagpur online communities (Orkut) and came across one of the most hilarious (and thought provoking, I might add), message threads about life in Kharagpur. The title of the thread is 'STREET DOGS...!!!!!!'. Disclaimer - I am fiercely possessive and protective about my institution and would coexist happily with the street dogs out there than study in any other institution. Yo KGP !!! Ravi => FRIENDS SUMTHING SHUD BE DONE against these kgp dogs.........there no. is increasing daily......is there any department where an application (to remove the dogs frm iit campus ) can be written???????? plz take it seriously................koi bhi IIT mein itne dogs nahi hai ..jitne kgp main hai................. Abhishek =>Yo KGP !!!!!!!!!!!! Wanna know something ? On my 1st and 2nd years, I would invariably see dogs in cages on the day Chicken was served in the mess. Guess whose meat we ate ?????????? :D Jokes apart, the problem is pan-Indian but is intensified in KGP due to the poor work culture and "Cholbe Naa: atti of the Left. They ruined Bengal. Siddarth =>they should b removed... two days ago they chased me from billos to ms hall at 2 am.. ne how i escaped... Pulkit =>they get specially out of control in the mating season :D Vinu =>iitm has deers and rabbits....what do we have...dogs and buffalos..

Partha Pratim =>goli maar bheje mein......kutta shor karta hay.....akko marega bahar se dhusra bharega kallooo....mama security mama...kuch karo mama prashanth =>we should organize a dog hunting fest!!!!!!!!!!!!...should begin around the mating season.....junta wd luv it Vivek@zzzzzzz =>yo .i m waiting for this fest!!!!!!!!!!1 Perfect Stranger =>abe these dogs don't harm nebody...neither they bark... their motto is "Live & Let others live"...dogs are on street...wat bout cats in mess Ravi =>KHOJ(by azad hall) n STREET dogs ko combine kar dena chaiye ..............isn't a gr8 idea man????

Perfect Stranger =>hahahhahahha...kgp walo se kuch develope karne ko boling...don't u know we're too good at maarofy funda...............but kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam Kranthi =>I remember ... once I had to cycle through a pack of dogs to avoid getting hit by a truck... there were around 15 dogs chasing me all the way from puri gate to the hostel.... I must have beaten all world records in cycling... :) Pradipto => i fled for my life....... this was during the nights we were working for the SF deco team, i had gone to see the arena n was cycling back to the gymkhana, near HMC office about 6 dogs came charging at me, trying to pounce on me from either side, i cycled as fast as i could......fearaing my chain wud come off at that speed, i shot past the first gykhana gate, screaming at the top of my voice, n finally stopped at the second gate....... i was a laughing stock, n my legs were numb with the furiouds cycling.......... earlier in dec last, i returned to my room to find an ugly dog cuddled up in my n my room mates blankets.....i shooed it, but it left its dandruff all over our beds.......aur dhobi ko dekar Rs. 100 ka chuna laga.....
Raj Shekhar =>hmmmmm.........
kahe tang hota hai baccha log... :)
are yar... written complain de do DEAN ko ya fir HMC mein hai ek kutta hatao abhiyan..
wahan complain kar do....
Perfect Stranger =>from above two story...it's proved that kuttas chase only guyz with cycle....so throw ur bicycle and walk...it's good for healh, another reason not to attend classes or coming late...n most imp. money saving Partha Pratim => An important advice.....I learned most of you run when chased by dogs. Actually you have to stay and look firm to the dog or might bark at them...that would be enough to frighten them up....see these are stray dogs not doberman, and they get frighten up quickly. But if you run they bound to chase you since they feel proud to be scary to humans and in over excitement can bite you. So never run when you are chased by dogs......every animal even the dinosaurs are afraid of bold humans...because they are the most lethal .....and would survive the last. Pradipto =>thanx...... well thanx for ur advice.....i knw that it does work.....at abt 3 in d morn whn i was retrning from JCB Canteen, there were 6 dogs at the turning to LLR, i stood calmly n slowly got away....but my prev incident, whn i was n a hurry, n i was rushing, i cudn't think wht wud've hanp if i'd stopped....so better flee....aur rahi baat exercise ki aur cycle chhodne ki, kabhie kabhie gati ki bhi avashyakta hoti hai........chalte to rahenge, par kahin peeche na choot jaye... Abhiskek => are i'v heard tht once some profs being fed up of these dogs in their colony had earlier asked the security ppl to shoot them..lekin kisi doosre prof ne animal rights organisations ko bulakar sab kela kar diya..infact he even wrote to Maneka Gandhi abt it! Sandeep => Ok, I will confess - this is one of the most awesome threads I have come across recently and I feel obliged to add my decade old memoirs. It was 1997, month of November and I was at Cheddis after dinner for the ritualistic post dinner fag. I think there was load shedding going on and the pan shop had a lantern hanging.. dowsing the ground in deeper darkness. To cut short the narrative, I stepped on the face of a black sleeping doggy. The rest is history. To add to the charm of the moment, Ganesh (boy serving Tinku at Cheedis) was kind enough to add "I think that is the mad rabid dog.". Cool.. I hopped onto a rickshaw and made a beeline for B.C.Roy. A beautiful nurse was kind enough to mop my wound with a litre of carbolic acid. The best part of the story was B.C.Roy was kind enough to pay for the injections and I insisted that it was the same carbolic acid nurse who administers them.
