In India, the senses are truly aroused. The colour of the women's
clothes, and the abundance of jewellery is a photographer's paradise.
Countries neighbouring India are: Pakistan,
China, Nepal, Bhutan,
Myanmar and Bangladesh. Sri Lanka lies off India's south-eastern tip.
Remember that the cow is sacred; and woe betide the
driver who doesn't swerve into a field to avoid them. Cows are not penned into fields
here, and in the smaller towns and villages they wander wherever they like.
Some people in India would even like to come back as a cow in the next
life. Now there's a thought.

homeland, a beggar read her palm and declared that she'd be back; the next time, for love.
