For 6 Months Now, A Cow Has Been Coming To This Cloth Shop Every Day To Cool Off Under The Fan

While north India is gearing up for winters, south India is still battling the heat. And just like us humans, animals feel the need to stay cool too.

Stray animals such as dogs tend to sleep under cars but just imagine what happens to the stray cows and buffaloes? Interestingly, this cow has found out a way to deal with hot summers. This stray cow has been visiting a cloth store in Mydukur in Andhra Pradesh's Kadapa district every day for a few hours for the past six months.

Every day, for the past six months, this stray cow enters a local shop--Sairam Showroom--and sits there for hours without disturbing anybody. According to a report in Deccan Herald, the cow has been coming to the shop too cool down on hot summer days.

The cow randomly picked this place and decided to sit there. First time the cow entered the shop, the customers created ruckus and the shop owner - Polimera Obayya - tried to push the cow out. The cow overlooked Obayya and sat for two-three hours, then got up and left.

And since then, this became a habit. The cow comes regularly to the shop except when the shop is closed.

¡°It comes every day and sits under the fan. But if we shut off the fan, it simply walks away. It has never troubled any customer, urinated or soiled the white mattress that covers the floor. It relieves itself only after leaving the store,¡± Obayya told Deccan Herald.

After the cow came to their shop everyday, people started asking other people about the ¡®cow shop¡¯. Women also offer bananas and worship the cow with turmeric and vermillion. Above all this, the shop owner also says that since the cow has stepped into the shop, their sales have shot up.

There is a shop named saibaba cloth Store in Mydukur town in Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh. For the last 6-7 months a cow regularly enters into this shop, sits for 2-3 hours under the fan and goes out without causing any nuisence to the shop or customers. ??@rvaidya2000 pic.twitter.com/DxjNMshKRT

Recently, a cow entered IIT-B hostel number 3 and ate a book. The pictures of the cow with the half-eaten book went viral on social media since then. In another cattle-related incident, a cow entered a classroom at IIT-Bombay and casually roamed around, even as students fled in every direction? It climbed up the stairs in the seating gallery for the students, as they tried to drive it away.

In July, a 21-year-old student of IIT-B was also injured by bulls. The incident was recorded on a CCTV camera. In the video, the student who is identified as Akshay PL is seen being hit by two bulls, while he was busy on his phone.
