"Real-life shit posting": Woman's skill with cow dung cakes amazes netizens

The world is full of people with fantastic talents. In India too, there are many hidden gems with extraordinary skills. One such talent was recently discovered by a Twitter user, and this has gone viral in a few days.

The recently shared Twitter video has garnered the attention of millions of people. A woman in the video can be seen perfectly sticking cow dung cakes on a wall for drying. Cow dung is typically used in many Indian villages as fuel in the fireplace, or to repel insects. The preciseness and accuracy of her tossing cow dung cakes and the perfect placement has stunned the internet, and netizens are hailing the woman.
The video shared by an IAS officer on Twitter has spread like wildfire in a short period, gathering over 50 thousand likes and over 1.6 million views. The IAS officer captioned the video that the Indian basketball team is searching for her, while another user wrote ‘That’s called a real-life shit posting’.


Cow dung has been used in rural areas of India for centuries as a cooking fuel, ingredient for mud bricks, manure, thermal insulation, and it is a renewable source of electricity in many parts of the world. A festival called The Gorehabba is celebrated in Karnataka a day after Diwali in which participants throw cow dung at each other, just like the tomato hurling festival La Tomatina that takes place in Spain every year.
