Goa Training Course / Which Animals you can throw rocks at

Today was me and 19 Indians talking about ocean instrumentation from 9:30 till 4:00 ..... They look excited at the end of the day, don't they?








During lunch I say a security guard throw a rock at a stray dog. I asked the oceanographers why this was as I thought that all Indians respected animals.... No No No, only Cows, Oxen, Horses and Camels are potentially your reincarnated ansestors and can clog up traffic...












All other animals you can throw rocks at if they get in your way or try to take your food cause you can't be related to them. Interesting. This is a fairly standard Indian "brown" dog that populate the streets of Goa

Apart from reverence for LARGE animals, Goa doesn't appear like the India of my immiganition. Surprising that the bar advertisements are in English (not that you have any interest in bar advertisements)! Stay well, stay safe...I love you.
