One afternoon we decided to visit a relative about 40-45 km away from where we live. We drove through rice fields, saw cattle grazing in the field and had a good glimpse of the country-side. Here are some pictures.

Here is a rice field. You could see goats and cows grazing there. The field close to you has already been harvested. The ones farther are ready to be reaped.




You can see some cows from close.



India is a country of peaceful coexistence and tolerance. One interesting thing about Indian roads is that both drivers and animals share them thinking that they have priority over the other. Here is an example:


As you see, a hen is right in the middle of the road. If you use a magnifying-glass you can see a few more further away. The dog, being an intelligent animal, stayed off the road and is possibly thinking when he would get a chance to sleep on the clean road. The goats (below) are busy in their altruistic duty to prune any grass growing right next to the road.


Would you agree any less that Indians live in a very symbiotic society, where animals and men (and women, to be politically correct) share their social responsibilities, and make this earth a better place for each other?

With this I conclude this part of the blog. Any comment, question or suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
