Dupri and I!!
I reached
dharamsala on 8th September after a marriage from pathankot and I
got a call from my sisters friend Vikas, He runs a guest house in Dharamsala
bhagsoo, it’s a small village of dharamsala where Jews are situated and a small
market for shopping.
I just
reached the guesthouse and I kept my bag to get ready for hiking and I got out
out with a group and I saw her outside the shop. She is Brown with expressive
eyes and a black nose and was relaxing on the floor and I just went into the
shop and was about to give her a packet of biscuits and the shopkeeper already
took out the packet and gave her and she was busy in eating.
We went for
tracking of two days and when we came back after two days in the evening after
coming back from the dinner I came to my room and after a while I found her
there standing outside my room, she needed a space to sit I gave her 2 oatmeal
cookies and she set over there on the foot mat.
I thought
she just may be lives here and she came up. But I just realized when I heard the
voice of the guesthouse owner in the early morning, when they just shouted on
the dog.
I had a
schedule to go to Mc leod to a cafe where I use to teach English to monks, I
always walk down there and came back in the evening after spending my time in
the market and having coffee, never realized where my time went and in the dark
while coming back might she just saw me always or any how she just knew that I
came back and I got the vibe that she is going to come here in my room, so i just
use to keep my door open or if its closed then she scratched on my door.
She enters
and sits on the foot mat near my washroom and always made a voice while sitting
and getting comfortable, when I heard that voice for the first time I got lill
shocked but after that I got use to it and I loved the sound she always made,
so if I’m sitting on my bed writing or reading I just feel like going there and
cuddle her with my love.
Sometimes I
saved food for her in the morning and gave her in the evening and she had it
always with love, sometimes she is just coming to get loved and if I even give
her food she didn’t have it. She loved to rub her body to my body and loved the
blanket in which I use to sleep there.
She knew
that day that I was leaving, I came back from Mc leod and she was waiting an
hour before outside the guest house, sitting gently like lady one feet on other
feet, I saw her I threw a cookie for her from my balcony but she just looked at
the cookie and then to me, as if she wanted to get loved rather of eating the
cookie, I kept standing there took a pause for a minute and looked at her and
then I got into my room and got my camera to click one picture with her. I got
there and she started waving her tail and laid down and kept her one foot on my
left foot and looked at me, as if she wanted me to stop.
But may be
that was my emotion what I feel that she might felt for me but the amazing friend whom
I found in bhagsoo, and she always came to give me company in nights.
Now I was
leaving I carried my bag and took the way to the shop where I cud find the auto
for bus station, she came along step by step I saw her and I went to find the
auto.
an auto came
and I kept my luggage inside and started for the bus station.
While my
instinct said that I didn’t hugged her while going and I got the feeling that ill take the Auto back and at the same time I remembered that I forgot my charger. I asked
the driver to take the auto back and I saw that Dupri was looking out for me
from where I got the auto and when I came back after getting the charger she is
sitting nearby my auto to meet me and give wishes.
I loved her
and said that she has to take care of herself, and I know she will, and wish to
see her again when I go back to dharamsala.
So she
charged me with love and just love for everyone around us.
I got her
name Dupri from a friend of mine Sunil; he is from Delhi but spends his most of
the time on dharmsala, thanks Sunil for such a cute name.
Love!!
