The other day,   was asking me whether I didn’t click photographs any more.  It was only when she asked did I realize that  it has been a really really long time since I’d even had the urge to click a snap!  Not that I’d been a button-happy shutter-bug earlier, but I used to click snaps a lot more frequently a couple of years back.

As I was ruminating on our conversation, I chanced upon some cows ruminating on their cud!  Seeing them, I remembered an old joke and decided to incorporate both  the joke and my thoughts about photography into a post here and so, here it is!  I couldn’t get close to the subjects because it’s a snake infested area and I’m quite scared of them critters, so this snap is the best that my antiquated mobile phone could manage, under the circumstances.


So, here’s the joke!  It’s an old one and I just cast  and myself into it!

 (me aka Ga): Look Ri, a bunch of cows!
 (Deepa aka Ri): Herd, Ga.
Me: Heard of what, Ri?
Deepa: Herd of cows, of course, Ga!
Me: Of course I have heard of cows! Why do you ask, Ri?
Deepa: Ga! I meant a cow herd!
Me: (puzzled) Why should I care if a cow heard? I didn’t say anything offensive to them, Ri!
Deepa: Ayyyyoooooooo!
Me: (shakes head sadly,  wondering why women have to be so hard to understand)
