What Dog!

Sitaram-ji turned up today, looking hale and hearty. It seems he has to divide time between his two sons – one at Kandivli and the other, at Patliputra. Only when he stays with the latter, is he able to attend the Club in the mornings.
But that was not why had become the centre of attention for everybody today. Only yesterday, Shekhawat-ji had announced that Sitaram had, by mistake, stepped over his pet dog at night and the animal retaliated by biting the hell out of him. And here was the man, smartly dressed in khaki capris and T-shirt, grinning from ear to ear – as though nothing had happened.
Finally, somebody asked, politely, where his dog had bitten him.
“Kaunsa kutta?” he snapped.
“Aapko koi kutta ne nahin kata?” we persisted.
“Koi kutta ne nahin kata!” By now, he had understood that the joke was on him and looked in the direction of Shekhawat-ji, laughing.
“Magar, kabhi toh kutte ne kata hoga,” Shekhawat-ji insisted, determined to prove that Sitaram had indeed been bitten by a dog. That was enough for everybody to burst into laughter.
Monthi-ji had the last say: “Bachpan mein kata hoga!!!”
