When Juliet Fought With Romeo

Although they were named Romeo and Juliet, they were far from being the archetypal young lovers of the eponymous Shakespearian tragedy. Of course they were young and looked forward to having casual sex, but they held opposite views on the philosophy of "What's in a name?" Which was the bone of contention and one of the reasons behind their big fight. Now lying on hospital beds, Juliet and Romeo were nursing their wounds and also cursing a vermin for their fight.

We can eliminate the heat factor because the fight took place on a pleasant March evening in a Delhi park. It was Saturday and the evening strollers were out in large numbers. Barring a few, most of the dogs and bitches had brought their walkers on leashes.

Romeo was in a playful mood and when he saw Juliet, instigating her for a fight was the last thing on his mind. He just wanted to express his outrage on something he had read in the morning. "Woof, woof," he said, "Did you see Tushar Gandhi's tweet on your woman's Twitter feed today?"

"Shut up! Don't call her a woman." Juliet retorted. "She is like an elder bitch to me."

Oh, woman, woman, thought Romeo, no hello, no woof-woof, looks like she is already in a bad mood. He tried to make himself agreeable, "Anyway, happy Women's Day to you."

That was it. Juliet stiffened and then unleashed herself on Romeo, snarling, growling, shoving, biting, scratching, and barking, "Don't you get it? My didi and I are not women. Couldn't you say happy Bitches' Day? Call us bitches, or sluts, or hussies, if you want to, but no w-word. That grandson of Gandhi is such an obnoxious vermin that he should be bathed in dog-vomit to rid him of the sense of entitlement!" She was unstoppable.

Romeo also bared his fangs in self defense and both the canines were bleeding profusely before their respective walkers were able to break up their fight and take them to hospital.
