[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Wild life exists in the cities of India. Monkeys are the wonder and bane of many Indians. Pilgrims and tourists love them, villagers have to fight with them all the time. Monkeys sneak into houses every chance they get, to plunder and run amok. In Puskar they come to town from the mountains a few times a week at least, to have all the fun and food possible. This cow probably belongs to no one, males are simply set loose. No milk, and you cannot eat cows, (HOLY), so he is on his own. He hangs around, hoping for handouts too. The monkey has a single peanut sticking out it's mouth, to boast of it's possession.

Hello Gloria,
this is an interesting and very well taken pic. It tells a whole story (you do it also, and well, in the notes, thank you for that), something that is rare in TN pics. My congratulations!
Cheers, Dietrich

Gloria,
Maybe I should join hands with you to photograph a lot of similar stuff. I, too, know India well.
This is a great register. What an education to the rest of the world who are TOTALLY unaware of India's plight.
India is a sad story. Have posted some images of Goa on:

Best regards, Mario.
