Mohan’s musing: Be the change you want to see ‘oh! That’s fine…. but being in the chain?? ….. Not funny 
Don’t worry, this fellow is huge but will not bite.
For once I could not take my friends assurance on face value. 
“I am terribly scared of dogs” I confessed and pleaded. 
Sensing this he called out his Man Friday who appeared with a long chain much to my relief 
But that was short lived…. I felt that the guy came walking mechanically as if towards me instead of…?!
Impatience or precaution, I let a loud silly protest. “Not me… the Dog”
My friend was quite amused at the sight and we had a good laugh.
Thank GOD, I almost would have got the reverse treatment meant for the DOG.
PS: Next time when I see a dog chained….this experience will make me ‘be more empathetic’.
