'Oh God, Help this dog' - by K J S Chatrath

I came out of the Archeological Museum Hampi located in Kamlapura a few days back. I started moving towards the auto which was patiently waiting for me. And then I saw this dog. Part of a plastic pitcher seemed to have got stuck around his neck. I am not a dog person. In fact far from it, I hate dogs and am terribly afraid of them. But I stopped and thought how to help it. There was no one else in sight.

I gathered courage and slowly moved towards the dog with the intention of gently freeing it from the plastic yoke. The dog got up and then as I took another step, it ran away and quickly disappeared from my sight.

I am an atheist and do not believe in God. But I have been silently praying to him to help this dog.

" Vast untapped potential..." by KJS Chatrath

I do not give lift to the politician types, however this meeting with Kamal Hasan was more like two fellow actors meeting after a long time. He did not waste any time in preliminaries and told me straight away that he felt that the vast potential of my histrionic capabilities had not been tapped by the film industry. He then went on to the tell me about his forthcoming film project for which he was looking for a suitable actor to play the role of pretty heroine's father and felt that I would fit into the role perfectly.

I too did not waste any time in pleasantries and while thanking him for the offer, made it clear that I considered myself as being too young to play the role of heroine's father.

We parted as friends, as before.


(This fake  & imaginary meeting took place last week at the stall of a photographer at Marina beach in Chennai, who specializes in taking photos with cut-outs....).

My friends keep on telling me that I should start behaving my age पर  क्या करें , दिल है की मानता  नहीं! (What to do, I just can not help it!)
