The Crows

August 20th, 2009

India seems to have two seasons: hot and monsoon.  We entered the monsoon season about a month ago when the first rains in 8 months began.  It now rains almost daily, but is so wonderfully refreshing and renewing.

Well, on one dry afternoon, my husband, brother and I were walking back from lunch at a cute little deli here.  On this rare afternoon, I found myself wearing a white sundress.  I seldomly wear dresses here, and particularly don’t chance white in this somewhat less-than-clean city. However, I was feeling summery and adventurous, so had decided to wear my white little number. Well, big mistake. Not 50 yards from the safety of our apartment, I felt something hit my head and fall onto my white dress…crow poop.

Not two days later, my brother and I decided to go on a walk down to Sassoon Docks, where all the fresh fish are brought in daily by the local fishing boats.  As we were walking out on the pier, I felt something warm land on my arm.  I had been struck again.  Two points for the crows.
