This is a brief Tour of the various 'Sporting' activities available in Bangalore.

For those who are interested in Fishing, there is ample scope of practice before trying to catch a marlin!!

For those who are interested in Athletics, Hammer Throw, and similar 'sports', here below is a sample of the kind of experience you can gain from the local 'coaches'!

high arm lift swing
jerking to an upright position
bringing to a halt
this is the end, my only friend



There is a special course on how to throw a lasso, catch a 'Rover', and then quickly wedge the poor fellow between the branches of a tree, and tug-o-war practice starts, till something gives, well it's normally the 'Rover' who is strangled with the fierce tugging. This exercise builds up the forearms and biceps!
caught and wedged
pull tight
the end is near

The Group Photo is normally posed with the 'prey', just like in the 'good old days', where instead there were tigers, deer, rabbits, partridges, and lots of other game!

Should you want to honestly do something about the fate of 'man's best friend', (am I punning on the 'best friend'?)
Please mail the Champion for the 'doggies' of Bangalore, namely Ms. Radhika Badami, Citizen Journalist for CNN-IBN , Bangalore, with your suggestions, your support, your love for the dwindling 'street dogs'. Bangalore, Wake up! The city is being lost, take it back from the madness. You even have support from Delhi through Mou Dasgupta Sood, and from Australia through the The Kindnesstrust !!
Looks like we need to get people to 'Stop The War (on Dogs)' like they did for Vietnam! Then there will be a iota of sanity amidst the madness.
I wonder if it is because our Indian Cricket got kicked out of the World Cup, everyone needs a scapegoat, what easier way when every thing is going to the dogs!!
