Memories of a "NATURE'S CALL AND A DOG"

Memories, some sweet, some embarrassing, some funny, some forgettable but I find that i have a fabulous memory and it makes me ponder with such a fabulous memory how come i always scored pretty low marks in dictation. Ahhh!! Well, God Knows Only.

Traveling some 7 years down the time line, during a stay at my cousin's house, i found something common in pet dogs. On seeing strangers all of them bark, some bark harder, some in addition to barking also seem to have kind of weird attraction towards some visitors that it follows the visitor throughout his/her stay at the house, following it even when the visitor enters the toilet for obvious purposes. Well, to say the dog at my cousins house fell into the last specified classification and i happened to be that "someone" for the dog.

The dog would follow me everywhere, and i was kind of used to it. 'Used to it' in the sense, whenever this guy(the dog) followed me, i was scared and would usually shout out to my cousins, and one of them would then pull this guy out of my trail.

One of the things that i was quite hooked to was my cousin's computer, playing games in it was one thing i really enjoyed. I used to sit till late night with my cousin and play one or the other game.

It was one such gaming night, after many hours of play, my cousin got too sleepy and went to his room. I continued gaming for some more time and then hit the bed in the computer room.
I was half-way through my sleep, when i felt the urge, yes the nature's call. So, i got up from bed and did not switch on the light as i was afraid that the dog who sleeps in the hall would get alert and start following me. I knew this time my shouting for my cousins would do no good and it would disturb sleep of the elders of the house. So, i was in quite a fix, i could not move out of the room in fear of waking the dog and with every passing second the urge only seemed to increase.
Probably for the first time i wished i had a huggy's diaper on and even thought of buying one and wearing it the next time, if i survived this ordeal.

I was too afraid to step out of the room and so i started to look out for alternatives. Some empty bottle, a bunch of useless clothes or anything would have done. I found nothing. The urge was getting worser, and i knew i would end up pissing in my pants if i don't act quickly. Then it struck me "Yes i could do it through the window". My cousins lived in a flat and it was on the fourth floor. The window in the room was grilled in a box-shape. There were no second thoughts after that. I hurriedly opened the window, somehow managed to sit on the edge of the window and attended the call. And this ordeal of mine proves true the age old adage:
"NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION"...well some invention.*BIG GRIN*

Time is 4:54am and some hours before i lay awake, thinking of some past events when this thing came into my mind and though it was quite mentally n physically painful then, it seemed quite funny to me as i thought of it. Never disclosed this to anyone. So thought of putting it to pen.


Thats all!!
