Intentionally I have not translated this story in Marathi...I wish to make Nukkad multilingual...and English is most welcome.

Safe Place - Digambar Kulkarni
1.30 am.
Just before going to bed I heard a dog moaning.
Out of curiosity I searched for animal. Beyond compound wall of my house on other side of road .. I found her. She was a bitch...full with milk, trying to cross a locked gate, which she was not able to...
Beyond the gate probably, she delivered puppies recently, thinking it to be a safe place. Now she herself was not able to access them for feeding...
I tried a lot with a ladder, a bucket..suggesting her to climb and cross gate...she was not getting it at all.. Ultimately I gave up...I felt very sad for I could not help her to reach that safe place where her children were starving that sleepless night....
