Close Encounter of the Bovine Nature

Jaipur is notoriuous for congested streets and trafic of all kinds (auto, animal, and human). In a narrow street a cycle-rickshaw zipped dangerously close and in atempt to evade it I jumped straight into the path of an onry bovine. Understrandably upset, this mad cow picked me off the stret with a major headbutt. Luckily her horns were nothing like her toros bravos cousins in Spain or I would have a major scar to match my little brother's hernia souvenir. The corner posse of men drinking chai (Indian tea) quickly mobilized and got their sacred animal under control before I could suffer any damage, and other spectators quickly came to ensure my safety and inspect my body (don't worry, no injuries to report!). Maybe it was karma for all those delicious hambergers I've eaten in the past, but I have ben meat free here in India.
