Stared Down

Favorite thing: On the opposite side of the lake, I wandered further up the road. This is where the cows and water buffalo connected with the underpassage to the lake. Don’t ever take these beasts to be placid. On two occasions within minutes apart I was stared down by one of these beasts, so much so that I knew instinctively to keep moving. The last one was enroute underneath the road out to the lake area with a baby in tow. She stopped, looked up at me and made me grateful that I was on a level that I was, and she couldn’t get to me.

Diminishing Man Sagar Lake

Favorite thing: One morning I went for a walk across the road from my hotel and along the foreshore of Man Sagar Lake. I was interesting to see the lake in the early morn. Unlike photos I had seen, the lake level was way down and in places reduced to mudflats. Charkris were reduced to bare looking structures buried in silt. Cows and water buffalos also strolled the flatland to wherever their fate led them.
