Beautiful and articulate. Loved reading it.

I had similar experiences with Bypu (didn't know he was called that). As you know, I used to walk from woodlands to campus every night and I used to find an inexplicable comfort and safety in walking through his territory. He used to come running towards me, I would pet him and then we would walk together until the turn where he would go back. So many times, I used to sit in front of those closed shops and smoke, while watching Bypu chasing something I couldn't even see in the darkness and feeling instantly better when he would give me the attention and demand mine in return. Deonar Farm road has memories and stories every square inch and Bypu is a part of most.

Resonates in me. I grew up with street dogs and pups following me all over our neighborhood... And now I am rediscovering how dogs love and adore you 20 times more than the attention they get from you... Ar bhishon bokuni kheyeo 2 min er modhye abar ador korte / ador khete ashe, never sulking, never bearing a grudge!
