Shekhawat-ji was at least right about the dog biting Hari-bhai (see pic). The latter insisted on narrating his tale of woe, unmindful of the solemn presence of Sharma-ji (who informed that the chemo cycles had begun for his wife). Maybe, Hari-bhai was unaware of the gravity of the situation as he had not been coming to the Garden all these days. He kept exclaiming: “Kuttey ne kata aur mera 3,000 rupya kha gaya!”
About a fortnight back, Hari-bhai was on his way to pick up some “vegetarian food at McDonalds” in Lokhandwala Market when a stray dog attacked him in front of Food Inn. It bit him on his right shin and ankle, drawing blood. In panic, Hari-bhai rushed to the first doctor in sight, who dismissed him after giving some first aid. Next morning, he visited Dr Deshpande and was put through the ordeal of five anti-rabies injections that cost him Rs 379 each. An extra Rs 100 went into administering each injection. Plus, there were expenses on a course of antibiotics and dressing the wounds.
Now Hari-bhai is fit and fine, but he cannot forgive the dog for “eating up” his Rs 3,000!
