Cows...... Cows everywhere......

Cows are considered sacred in India. I guess this fact is pretty well known. Why they are considered holy, one can easily find the answer online. 

During my stay in India, they are everywhere. From big city of Mumbai to small villages, they are there. Their population is big, so their shit is also everywhere. If one's impression on a place is based on odour, I can say that India's smell is a mixture of spices and cow shit, and also urine.

The cows in India are very gentle, their temper is so good. They won't bother you even if you touch their horns. They live among human, and human constantly offer them some food. Many of them are not for labouring. Until now, I am still not sure whether many of them have a owner. They are just there...
