The other day (ok, let's be honest, this actually happened 3 or 4 weeks ago, but I've been meaning to write about it since then!) I walked to my friend Becky's house from school. It was about 7:15pm and already dark, but she lives very close to school in a nice, safe diplomat neighborhood:) Well, despite this knowledge, the walk was dark and I was on the street by myself, and my mind began to wander. So, I picked up the pace and broke out into a jog. However, when I saw someone walking down the street towards me, I would slow down so as to save any energy for later, necessary running. At one point, someone was walking right down the middle of the road (not a busy road - a neighborhood street completely empty of cars or tuk tuks) towards me. He/She appeared to have on a large hoody with the hood pulled up over his/her head. He/she was fairly big and bulky, and began to make my quite nervous. I mean, really, hoody's can make people look freaky/creepy in the dark. Well, as we got closer to each other (heart racing...), I realized that this person was quite LARGE (hearting beating faster...), and then I remembered that I live in India (heart slowing down....), and that, duh, it's a cow....a large cow with his large hump, who apparently rules the roads of this neighborhood. I gave him a nod and continued on my way.....
