Why Cows Don’t Kiss
Today in the morning, while coming to work, I was reading, my carpool partner was merrily napping, and his driver was...well, driving. At the Sikanderpur Chauk, our car got stuck in a jam, primarily caused by the entire bovine population of Jatland crossing the road. One cow came and stood right next to my window. The glass pane had been rolled down a bit. Through it, I saw the cow calmly stare at me for a second or two, and then let out a mild, well-mannered burp. (Although I am not wearing anything green today, the sight of me must have reminded it of food in some strange, cow-like way.) But what made me reel back from the window was the smell of the burp that the breeze brought in. It was unlike anything I have ever smelt in my life...smelly, nausea-inducing, and utterly revolting. Spare me the laugh! Your breath would stink too if you ate grass all your life and NEVER brushed your teeth! And then like divine revelation, I got enlightened...and thought to myself, ‘Ah! So that’s why cows don’t kiss!’ Poor things.

But have you ever seen them do stuff? Man they're WILD!
And, err, even Langoors. :D
@ D
You best it was! Good evening to you too.
@ Convivial, BASTM and B

@ Prashant
I actually quite like the name "the cow scientist". I am wondering what it will be like to walk into one of our book launch parties and introduce myself to a potential author by saying, "Hi I am Sayantani, an editor here....I also work as a cow scientist every once in a while." :D
@ Rohit
Erm...yes I have seen them DO stuff...and wild is the word to describe them. And the first and only time I saw such a show I had several queries racing through my head...but probably a blog is not the place for it.
You bet! MANY queries! And, take my word, langoors are wilder. :D
I knew cows didn't kiss; now I know the reason. I didn't know that they blew french kisses at people though.
Err... was it a cow or a bull?
So now we know!
@ Subhadip
It was a bovine...now whether it was a cow or a bull I cannot say, urmmmm....I didn't check that closely.
@ Payal
Glad to have played a role in educating you.
Eating grass.. Makes your mouth stink.. So lets eat the Cow!
hehehehe see that's why they're chewing orbit nowadays!!!!!!
after all man is also a social animal!!
hahahaha
laffing really hard imagining what u must have gone thru but am so glad it wasnt me smelling the stink!!!! ;-)
howdy?
I think you and cows have some kind of primal connection. Remember in college when the sight of a cow running down the road sent you into paroxyms of ecstasy?
Anyway the reason I'm commenting on your blog after so long is that I am in Delhi and the phone number I have for you DOES NOT WORK. So please get in touch asap!
@ Clash
Errr...
@ KeKa
:)
:x
@ Mr Quipster
Howdy to you too.
@ The Geek
Yes Ma'am.
That was an enlightening post.... :D
I hope u didnt forget to thank the cow for this revelation! :)
@ Smita
The cow's teaching was so astounding that it was a while before I could recover from it. Mentally of course I must have been able to transfer my gratitude. There was certainly no other way in which I was capable of doing anything else.
So sweet :)
infact u shd wrk more on this Cow thing ..:)
so that u can help that poor cow ..n may be ur advice do wonder for her ..
do smthing abt that poor soul
:D
:D
sweetest post i ever read :D
Haha.
Lol
Imagine what Vet's have to face everyday ?;)
Absolutely hilarious, and an extra ten points to the burp part. Made me almost fall off my chair.
After the laughing bout's over:
Your reflexes must be pretty slow han (no offence, I myself possess retardedly-slow reflexes), why didn't you roll up the window as soon as the bovine moved in as your neighbour?
@ Chitrangada
:D
@ Ajay
I do feel for them now.
:)
@ Amiya
Thank you for appreciating.
I think I didnt roll up the window because I was as fascinated by my neighbor as I could possibly be.
