Madhab Sheth can't believe his eyes, he rubs his eyes with his paw! yes paw, you read it correctly! He has turned into a dog! He can feel he is much shorter now and there is something hanging from his back, he is certain it's his tail! He is currently complete blank, trying to figure out how this happened to him. After thinking a lot, he still isn't able to come to a conclusion. He decides to ask about this to his wife laxmi who is still sleeping in the bed. He pleads her,"Laxmi dear wake up, see what happened to me! laxmi!!" Laxmi is in deep sleep, she wakes up and sees a large dog is constantly barking at her and trying to climb at the bed!! Laxmi fears dogs very much, that's why there is no pet dog in the house, Madhab forgot that! She starts to shout," Help! help! Madhab where are you?? A dog is trying to eat me!!" Madhab tries to explain her that he is not a dog, he is Madhab! Laxmi sees that dog is barking more louder! Hearing her voice, their elder son Rohan enters the room and tries to kick the dog out! Madhab sees his own son is kicking him out of the house thinking his father as a dog!! He also hears they are discussing how that dog enters the house while rohan trying to explain her that he didn't left open the door. Madhab becomes very sad, he casually walks into the nearest market. While roaming, he sees the meatshop from where he used to buy meat. He tolds him to give him meat! He forgot that he is a dog now. He didn't eat anything since last night so he angrily asks again for his meat!! The shopkeeper sees a dog is constantly barking at him, he casually ignores that. Madhab sees that he is not going to give him meat so he tries to take it by himself! The owner sees that and bring out a stick ! Seeing that madhab realizes what is going to happen next! He starts to run for his life blindly. He doesn't see the road, he suddenly feels a rush of pain in his left leg. A car ran over his leg and stuck there!! He cries out in pain, with a shudder he sees the car's back tires are trying to get over his leg once again!! He just moves from there on his other three legs at the side of the road..He lays there, he is feeling so much pain and agony..He closes his eyes and thinks that his time is up! he is going to die now. Then he wakes up from his sleep!! He runs towards the mirror, touches his face and seeing himself back again he feels soo much happier.. He starts to sing about how life is precious!! Laxmi wakes up and sees her husband is standing in front of the mirror and crying," I am a human now!!" She thinks he has gone crazy and asks him," why are you singing and dancing??"Madhab comes towards her and says ," I will pet a dog today and you and your son will take care of that dog! How dare you both kicked me out of my own house??" Laxmi says," I am going to get some cold water for you, you don't know what you are saying."She goes to get the water. Suddenly Madhab gets the answer of his question, how he turned into a dog? Yesterday, when he was coming back from the market in his car, he didn't see a dog in front of his car and ran over that dog! He was in a hurry and wanted to avoid any problems so he drove faster from the spot! He didn't come down from the car and helped the dog!! He was feeling bad about that and thought about that all day..That's why he dreamt himself as that dog!! It was so lucid, he can still feel the pain when that car ran over his leg!! He promises himself no matter what happens he will not run away from the spot again hurriedly.
