Description Location;  NIH Locality, Islamabad, Pakistan.

Not too far from where I live (about 3 kms).  There is a kind of dairy farm.  Actually its about half an acre of open land, with mud hut dwellings and buffalos roaming or penned around in the open compound.  The Buffalos are milked (Buffalo Milk is richer and creamier than our regular cows milk) and then its distributed "fresh" from house to house daily.

Normally I am not welcome here with my camera, the men folk usually don't like me taking pictures.  Some how this time the kids took a shine to me and I was almost mobbed by them.  Kids running laughing and prancing and saying "take my picture".  This is probably the only decent picture of the group as I could get .. and I had to ask them to stand by the buffalo ... Please

Lovely expressions!  
Also the buffalo - he/she looks like as there has been a inner fuse ignited which is about to go off!
Or maybe the animal just has it's brain raised up and locked.

I love all your photos of happy Pakistani kids, but I think this one is my favorite  - ever! (so far)
This time you're doing very well with the children, but I think that the buffalo wouldn't mind starting a little stampede in your direction!
Great image, Inayat!

Thank you .. (I was initially of half a mind not to put this image up as its technically not a candid shot) .. but I liked it so much myself that I did,
Actually .. in general I am very good with kids .. my wife says that's because I am on the same Mental level as the kids.

And as far as buffalos stampeding in my direction ... he wouldn't be the first .. I have had three very unpleasant buffalo incidents before :-P

I have yet to see a smiling buffalo ... I have actually had three run ins with water buffalo where they "charged at me" ..
Maybe they just don't like me
