A huge, shiny black dog belonging to the neighbourhood has been adopted by our office. He is friendly enough for me to be able to look past his size and admire him. I think he is the first ever non-filmy dog that i have found beautiful! He shares our parking lot with some chickens , who also belong to the neighbourhood.
As i leave for home, i see a kid (also i suspect belonging to the neighbourhood) playing with a laser pointer kind of thing. He moves it around so that the light shines on the ground. The dog, thinking that it is a ball, chases the light around, barking part in fun, part in frustration at not being able to lay its jaws on it!
You know you have grown up when you cant look at such a scene and not see a deeper message.

The last line went above my head :(
Was the double negative intentional?
yes :D
What i was trying to say was, while i could see the dog playing with the light, i could also see someone chasing something that doesnt exist and getting all worked up about it.
And then i thought, maybe thats okay. Maybe it is all about the chase. And then i realized that i was no longer seeing the dog!!
there. u arent grown up. happy ?
Thank you, thank you! Means a lot, coming from a kid!
