T<\/span><\/p><\/div>

he day I walked into my mother\u2019s room to hear her singing \u201cDingoora Dingoora Dingoora!\u201d (to the tune of \u201cNimboora Nimboora Nimboora\u201d) to Dingo, her dog, is the day I realised I had lost my mother to that most deadly disease \u2013 Dogorrhea.<\/span>\n\nDogorrhea<\/span><\/a> (DRH) is a medical condition that affects one in every twenty humans on the planet. If you are a dog owner, you are most likely already infected. More psychosomatic than anatomical, the symptoms take some time to manifest. The patient starts displaying signs that range from \u201codd\u201d to \u201cbizarre\u201d. Though not transmitted by air or water, people around such patients suffer trauma, while the patient himself stays blissfully unaware.<\/span>\n\nMy mother suffered acutely from Dogorrhea without even knowing it. Even after having two kids, she experienced <\/span>motherhood<\/span><\/a> in its true glorious form only when she had Chinku, Tozu, and then Dingo walk into her life on all their fours. With Chinku and Tozu, her symptoms were benign. Minor ocular dysfunction. They could topple her precious plants, pee all over her favourite cushion cover, leave their dental imprint all over our furniture, but mom would look at the damage in mock seriousness, a wide grin pasted on her face and pretend to be angry with them. Mistaking it for a sudden burst of tolerance, I confessed it was me who had dropped wax on her favourite satin slippers. She turned a vivid shade of pink, red, and then blue. \u201cKya issi din ke liye maine tumhe paal pos ke badha kiya hai?\u201d she screeched. Sita of Gorakhpur would have heard her scream.<\/span>\n\nI was married by the time Dingo came into her life.\u00a0By now she was a chronic patient of Dogorrhea. Even our family doctor had pronounced,\u00a0\u201dInko dawa nahin, dua kee zaroorat hai.\u201d With Dingo things got really out of hand. Maa, a strict, no-nonsense, occasionally fiery <\/span>Bong<\/span><\/a> woman, and Dingo, an alpha-male German Shepherd born to hunt and snarl, were polar opposites, but jab they met, they brought out each other\u2019s latent <\/span>nyaaka<\/span><\/a>. In just a few months Maa\u2019s bountiful love had transformed this majestic German Shepherd into the most bheto dog ever born. Allergic to meats, he stuck to a diet of milk and rice and sometimes <\/span>fish<\/span><\/a>, because he couldn\u2019t say no to Maa\u2019s force-feeding. All she had to do was step out of the house and he\u2019d switch his tear glands to shower mode like Nirupa Roy. And every time she came back from work, both would run toward each other in slow motion. My job was to play imaginary violins in the background. <\/span>\n\n

Thankfully, Dogorrhea is not genetically transmitted so I didn\u2019t get it. Every time a friendly dog approaches me with the intention to play, I give him a respectful nod.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\nAfter Dingo, mom entered such advanced stages of DRH, that we refused to let her watch Dharmendra movies. It was difficult controlling her when she heard him snarl,\u00a0\u201cKutte, main tera khoon pee jaaonga.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\n\n\u201cHow dare he! How can he call a kutta a \u2018kutta\u2019,\u201d\u00a0\u00a0she would yell. \u201cThey love you, protect you, are unfalteringly <\/span>loyal<\/span><\/a>, irrespective of your bigotry, insufferable ego, bad hygiene, state of finances, and <\/span>WhatsApp addiction<\/span><\/a>. Canines are our refuge from harsh judgments, unreasonable expectations, annoying <\/span>heartbreaks<\/span><\/a>, and disappointment in those who we chose to love.\u201d\u00a0Her rant could cease only after her voice became hoarse. \u00a0<\/span>\n\nIt is rather easy to make out if an individual is infected with DRH, which is more commonly found in women who let their ovaries burst like Vidyut Nigam transformers. Within a few weeks of taking in a canine, these women are convinced that the dog is not a pet but the child that they didn\u2019t have the fortune of birthing. To make up for this biological travesty, they turn into a love-struck mommies who sigh, cry, sing lullabies, and talk gibberish like a smitten teen every time she lay eyes on her furry babeeee, Chameli.<\/span>\n\nThe afflicted ones can often be spotted making silly faces while making strange sounds before French kissing Chameli, whose mouth had spent a good thirty minutes licking her own genitalia.\u00a0It is possible that this confuses the hell out of Chameli about activities involving labial layers and tongues. But who cares?<\/span>\n\nIf you\u2019re feeling distraught because you\u2019ve been diagnosed with Chamelidia and don\u2019t know which dog you got it from, DON\u2019T EVEN THINK of calling one of these women. Instead of feeling your pain, they\u2019ll give you an hour\u2019s discourse on Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency and how it has ruined Chammo\u2019s appetite. Their world view is very simple. Anyone who isn\u2019t besotted with canines is an asshole.\u00a0And anyone who isn\u2019t a canine is an idiot. <\/span>\n\nSadly, Maa wasn\u2019t cured of Dogorrhea even when Dingo died. She hasn\u2019t forgiven Dingo for dying and leaving her alone in this cruel, heartless world. Her bhalo chhele maintained a safe distance from the bitches on heat all through his uneventful life and died a bachelor. It is a story she tells everyone she meets. <\/span>\n\nBut thankfully, Dogorrhea is not genetically transmitted so I didn\u2019t get it. Every time a friendly dog approaches me with the intention to play, I give him a respectful nod. I never pet and I never coo. They in turn, treat me back with respect. The other day, Casper, my friend\u2019s spaniel, nodded knowingly when I discussed Putin, his hair remover, and his prospects at the next rigged elections. At the end of my sermon, he gave me a gentle bow. <\/span>\n\nI\u2019ve steered clear of Dogorrhea. I just hope it doesn\u2019t skip a generation \u2014 I couldn\u2019t deal with an afflicted daughter.<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
