Living with Stray Dogs

This world is full of amazing people and I am always ready to meet them. As I am working in media and doing Live Morning show on a TV channel so I always try to invite them in my show. So one fine morning after doing my morning show I was heading back to home, I saw this man walking with dogs on a busy Kashmir highway. I stopped and had chit chat with him. His over all look showed that he was a Jugi or darveesh and might be attached with some shrine.

He told me that his name was Jugi Mauj Ali Awaisi and he belonged to Hafiz abad city. He also told me that he always travels on foot and these dogs always accompany him. So he traveled like 300 Km to reach Islamabad and now after visiting some shrine in Islamabad he was heading back to Hafiz abad so 300 km walk again. He also told me that he had never counted the dogs he accompanied as some dogs left and some other dogs join him.

Over all dogs were showing some affection to him. In Pakistani culture its common to come across such type of people every where. As people believe that such people have some hot line with God so people give them money to pray for them. In old days such people were called gypsies but in Subcontinent their name is Jugi.
