India: 'Street dogs in Delhi wear clothes & rest on soft sheet'

Kanpur: India's capital attracts its people in several ways. Children also desire to go to the city. Returning from a recent visit to Delhi, one boy started narrating his experience of his first visit.

As he completed his journey by road, the wider highways attracted him so much as he wished the same quality of roads in Kanpur.

On novel things that he felt by seeing and roaming on Delhi's road was that he found the street dogs wearing coarse clothes and resting on soft cotton-filled sheets in Lajpat Nagar area of the big city.

When he was asked was that a pet dog? He answered back no, never. One pet dog was seen in chains on Greater Kailash area but the clothed dog was a street dog. Such kind of sight is not available in Kanpur.

However, he felt a respect for Delhites who care for animals. Whosoever has made clothes and soft sheet handy to the street dogs must be kind and humane, he stated.

Continuing his conversation he also divulged that Delhi sweets like Papari were not similar in taste as we used to relish in Kanpur. In his view, this was a big difference between the two cities.

His stay at the seventh floor of a hotel helped him snap photos of Lotus Temple,  ISKCON Mandir and running of metro trains. Views were far superior from a distance, the 12-year-old-boy said adding that he missed visiting the historical monuments there. He wanted to see the Qutub Minar, Jama Masjid and India Gate but returned to attend his classes at the school which is supposed to be opening soon.
