To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour. William Blake, from "Auguries of Innocence"

A Different Kind of Cow

Dear Daughter,

Like the rickshaws, there are different kinds of cows in India as well. I have seen a different kind here in the North that I did not see in the South. Although they look like Cape Buffaloes, they are not, because the Cape Buffalo can be quite mean when it is not feeling well. These cows are very docile like the ones in Madurai.

It will be weird not to see cows walking in the streets every day, just as it would be funny for you to see one walking down the street in Antwerp!

Here are a couple of pictures of the urban cows I saw near the Taj Mahal in Agra.

I Love You,

Papa
