Street animals

Chandigarh has a reputation for being the cleanest Indian city, so one could expect there would be no wild animals on the streets... Luckily it's not that boring!:)

Cows
Right after my arrival to Chandigarh I noticed something was wrong - there were no cows in the streets. What was more, I was explained there are none in Chandigarh. What an Indian experience would it be without cows, he? But they were right - although I keep looking for a cow every single day, I haven't spotted any so far.
However, as soon as you cross Chandigarh-Panchkula city boundary, it is a different story! :)

Dogs
Street dogs are everywhere, and especially in front of our house gate in Panchkula. They look everything from normal dogs to poor crippled/perishing animals. It's not fun sometimes. However, local people don't care - street dogs have truly low social status.
On the other hand, the concept of pet dogs is relatively common, too. It was just a couple of days ago I saw two German shepherds, which was the biggest pet dog I've seen in India so far. Again, especially around our house in Panchkula, which is situated in a nice residential area, you can often see people, who are walking their pet dogs & feeding the street dogs. And cows. They all obviously love a toast bread.

Cats
I have not seen, nor heard of any cat in India:)

Horses / donkeys
I hardly can distinguish between these two in local conditions, but you can commonly see them pulling a trailer on the streets, as it is pretty legitimate means of transportation here.

Camels
Yep, there are some camels, too. However, I've only seen 2 so far.

Cockroaches
There definitely are cockroaches in Chandigarh, but I was lucky enough not to face an alive one yet.

Czech corner
Kravicky se tu skutecne maji jako prasatka v zite. Dlouho jsem nevedel, k cemu jsou ty hlinene misy ci osatky pred vraty mnoha domu, nez jsem jednoho rana procitl: muz stredniho veku jede na motorce do prace, kdyz v tom zastavi, z igelitky vytahne toastovy chleb a naplni jim celou osatku. V tom se na rohu objevi krava. Asi ma hlad, tak aby nemusela az k osatce, popojede pan az ke krave, vytahne druhy toastovy chleba, a rozhodi ho na asfalt. Dba, aby se dostalo zejmena na telatka, ktera se na snidani dostavila se zpozdenim umernym delce jejich nohou.
Vecer je pak mozne videt, jak zbyly chleb v osatkach "dojizdeji" poulicni psi, aby byly ostaky pripravene opet na rano. Dokonala symbioza.

Kravicka se rano nasnida, a poulicni pes to vecer dojede.
Funguje to jako dobre namazany stroj.
