The Vache-qui-rit

Every night at the Little Sister’s the elderly get a glass of milk – as in from an actual cow.
“-Are they not sacred in India?” asked the innocent European girl. Haha! Fact of the day: some cows are sacred, some are milked!
“-So how do you make the difference between sacred and secular cows?”
“-You make the difference!”
Clever Indians!

In Hampi we actually saw a cow stepping through a front door. The housewife set out a nice plate of “human” supper and served the cow outside as if it was a family member!

According to Naveen, a friend from Bangalore, the cows belong to no one; they are normal citizens!
