Baskar Seshadri<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to biking in Mylapore and Mandaveli especially in the early morning i take maximum care to ensure that i drive at a low speed. Reasons – Its normally Dark in many places and i am a soft spot for the stray dogs. They are like mossad’s and one may not know from where they emerge out. With a pretty old bike it\u2019s a different story that i cannot raise the speed – It\u2019s like a speed governor for such an old vehicle by default. Back to dogs i am now used to various spot which are Dog -Prone.<\/p>\n

Forget about the colours as all of them are black for me right before dawn. Some will try to chase me and i raise my voice outdoing the noise of their barking and it will go quiet. Some will just chase and lift my legs and caution them with My Sssh.<\/p>\n

The third category of Dogs will let me pass but chase for a distance which is bit dangerous since i cannot turn back again like Endhiran Rajinikanth and raise my voice.<\/p>\n

Fourth is like a Hitchcock Film where the dogs don\u2019t raise a noise but will look at me staringly giving a Chill. I tried different routes to avoid these but i come across different varieties of Experience from different quarters sorry corners.<\/p>\n

The same group of dogs doesn’t care about anyone in the day time and i only recollect them when i pass them.<\/p>\n

But today i had a different experience when i\u00a0 had an encounter with the dazzling eyed dogs \u2013 This time none of them barked or chased me but i found one my left hand side almost ready to do a Pillion ride.<\/p>\n

I kept quiet for a while and slowly moved. Probably it should have been an old dog and seeing my face it could have thought that i can be spared at this age.<\/p>\n

Now i have decided to have a Google map to reach the coffee joint in different directions in the dark. And I am now looking for new lanes and by lanes to drive on. I hope i can reach the cafe before eight am.<\/p>\n

In the meanwhile if you come across an oldie struggling on the road in the early morning Please realise that it could be me.<\/p>\n

Take my SOS Right away and please do not advise me to give up the Coffee. I can a take a bite from a sharp toothed dog but cannot give up the coffee. For me every day is a Coffeebite day<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
