India Bashing

Stray Dogs.

They're everywhere in the cities. Go to any public park, any sidewalk anywhere - they're always there. These rabies infested creatures are even worse at night when they roam around in packs and start attacking people. As someone who doesn't like dogs even as pets I find it really difficult to get used to.

Local governments apparently spay them, but I find it hard to believe that they're doing it effectively because the stray dog population more or less exploded in recent years and will only get worse thanks to the increasing amount of trash thrown out everywhere.

We need to start rounding up these dogs and leave them at supreme court judge's and Maenka Gandhi's house. Flood these people. Situation is really dire. If you dare do anything, people will record videos, post online, file for etc etc. it has become a zoo.

I was shocked to read that the owner/Chairman/MD of WaghBakri chai was attacked by stray dogs, while out for a jog and died as a result of running/falling and hitting his head on a rock.. if this can happen to a multi billionaire.. we can rest our case on this menace

Goes back to my point about billionaires also living in filth. If only garbage had legs and a mouth to bite us, India would be a clean place to live.

Pollution in Gurgaon is really bad right now. You can smell it as soon as you step outside. Have ordered few air purifiers for home. Not sure what to do about my walking routine. I usually 10kms in the morning and it keeps me going throughout the day. Don't want to step outside now. Desperately need air to take the pollution to some other place now. I have headaches but cannot tell if that is from jetlag or pollution. If I go for my walk I think I will be able to taste the pollution. They say it's like smoking cigarettes. It wasnt this bad prior to wuhan virus pandemic. There would be few days of bad air but this is now different extreme and I am not sure if this will subside or stay like this in entire winter season. Real winter has not even started yet. Whatever happened to those giant air mopping machines that China was using some years back? I guess Kejriwal didn't place order for them yet. Have no faith in govt of Haryana. It's practically useless.

I dont understand what is the point of this thread. These are all known aspects of India, stray dogs, garbage, slums, pollution. Yet, people live in India either out of compulsion or out of choice.

There are stray dogs in my layout in Bangalore but they are all well known and they also have names. We never had problems due to the stray dogs. My daughter absolutely loves pets; dogs and cats and even stray dogs, she likes to pet them.

In India for every problem, there is this community which comes together and helps and finds solutions.

Still, living in India comes with a risk like getting hit by car or getting bitten by a stray dog. We accept those risks and still move to India and live there.

Point of thread is to vent. Nothing more.

We get your latest-love for India - but don't let your DD pet stray dogs in India or anywhere else
Moving out of one's comfort zone is hard and needs to be ripped out as a band-aid or in morbid terms, is akin to committing a suicide - More thoughts about it, less likely it's going to happen! This is exactly what I tell my friends that bought houses in my neighborhood based on my advice but dithering about the actual move.
I am sure the entire R2I club community can't wait for May 2025!

The stray dog problem in India is result of actions from Viru Paaji and Basanti. In USA pet dogs have too much power including Presidential elections and government efficiency

It is not at all hard for me. In fact it is hard for me to continue living in Singapore. Living in Singapore feels like you are in a matrix, not in a real world. Everything is perfect, but everything is also very predictable and boring, every day is the same. I could live here another 50 years and it wont even feel like I have lived that long. I spent the last 15 years in Singapore. The 1st 5 years were exciting. The last 10 years have been a repeat of the same. So basically I have exchanged my time for money.
