Cow of the Month

As everyone knows, cows are sacred in India. They go wherever and do whatever they want. Miss September, as it turns out, is very shy. We wanted a close-up but she de-moo-rred when she saw the camera.

Nevertheless her handiwork is everywhere present and each evening a man scoops up all the road apples and meadow muffins made by Miss September and her friends, forms them into neat little cow pies and slaps them onto this stone wall like so many works of art at a gallery. There they stay until dry enough to be sold and used as fuel. In a land of want, nothing is wasted.
