Bruno's hurt - badly!!

Bruno is hurt. very badly. He is seething with anger. He tore apart the morning newspaper lying in the porch , thrown by the newspaper boy, for Veekshanam to read. He is sure all his friends would be doing the same thing at their respective places. For, all of them think alike.

He is an indian at heart. Though there is no record or history that proves he is an Indian,he knows he is Indian. Atleast Veekshanam had picked him from Indian Streets. He has high esteem for Veekshanam and by virtue of that relation he has the same feeling for all Indians and in turn all Human Beings.

That is, until Achu Mama ( lovingly called Achuthanandan) bought his species into lime light. Bruno loves attention, but this was one he didnt approve. He was caught off guard. He is aghast at the manner in which his species was insulted. Bruno is quite aware that Achu mama cannot generally utter a sentence with out having long impregnable silences in between, when he rolls his eyes around and with out uttering some nonsense or the other in the course of his speech. Bruno is also aware that this technique is taught at the communist camps along with other techniques like creating road blocks, having bandh on all days in a year,unfolding umbrella in India when it rains in China,beating up others, grabbing somebody else's land,eating parippu vadai, drinking milk-less tea and smoking beedis.

But Bruno fervently hoped that Achu mama had not taken the name of his species in so despicable a manner, that too when speaking about a martyr.Bruno does not bother about Achu Mama, but he cares for the Martyr's family.

He and his canine friends pray that Achu mama be given some training in civilities. They pray fervently that the martyr's family does not look down upon Bruno and his species.

After all Bruno loves Indians.
