Here's an instance of my local ignorance causing a little upset.
We walked up to this cow and woman in south Mumbai. Keep in mind, south Mumbai is the most expensive real estate in India. So, seeing a cow tied to a tree and a woman seemingly getting some additional grass together for the cow was rather unexpected. I wasn't too sure why this woman had a cow here, but with it being such a unique situation, I figured, I'd take a photo.
Once I'd taken the photo, the woman sprang up and made a point to Shweta (in Marati) that all we want to do was take photos of the cow, without feeding it.
Turns out that the deal here is that I was supposed to pay the woman some money to buy grass from her. Then I would feed the grass to the cow, ideally improving my karma. Opportunity lost.
