Cattle in the marketplace
I’ve always thought it hilarious that Indian people chose the most boring, domesticated, compliant and stupid animal on earth to adore, but already I’m seeing cows in a while different light. These animals clearly know they rule and they like to mess with our heads. The humpbacked bovines step off median strips just as cars are approaching, they stare down drivers daring them to charge, they turn their noses up at passing elephant and camels, and hold Huddles at the busiest intersections where they seem to chat away like the bulls of Gary Larsons
cartoons. Its clear they are enjoying themselves.
