OUR GUESTS


           
        They were our guests for almost a month , we did'nt know how time flied and when they left , but yes have memories captured in our camera . It had become a daily routine to check on them, their vusy activity every now and then , for al of us at home. It was such a tedious task for them working through out the day preparing for the D-day.I fact we were excited too .
   The Brahminy starling couple were struggling to find anice ,safe place to welcome their young ones.  Our bedroom window was the chosen safe place  to lay the eggs we guessed. Its an amazing sight  to see how birds work round the clock to  bring their babies into this wonderful
world.

           Firstly it was making a good soft bed for laying eggs, understanding the nature's clock that now is the time to lay eggs. Surprising!!  Once she layed the eggs both parents used to take turns to come and keep an eye on them , shooing away other birds trying to trouble them.That is a scene again to watch their fight. So much in their little brain to protect their babies. Where does that motherly affection come from, we wondered! Within 4 days the eggs hatched into fragile little babies, with their eyelids closed on the first day. Now, the time started to feed them to help them grow. The mama and papa took all the pains and left no stone unturned  in bringing food for them. They took turns sometimes  and happily did their job with all the care and never allowed us to go near .

           Slowly the babies started recognising their parents' sound and started reacting , the moment they came, their neck would be seen out of the nest and scream  I ... I.... I ....want food!!! 
Within a months time the babies had grown into young Brahminy starlings able to fly in the sky , to discover this new world.Observing this our son marvels at nature  and is very excited to welcome babies of another species of birds in our balcony this time. Time to capture the moment again in our cameras as it is such an unusual sight to get to see !!

TODAYS MUSICAL TRENDS & FEW SUGGESTIONS IN THE END.

  Hey all !! a musical hello to everyone!! What's that first thing that's comes to your mind when you listen "music", when I say so . Todays trends in musical world have changed considerably. Thanks to the digital world, everything is available on  a click.   Be it Bollywood, Indian , country music, folk music,   hindustani, ghazals, devotional, abhang, natyageet, bhavgeet , and so on , you have a plethora of them . As a student of Hindusthani music, I keep wondering how much can I really digest( obviously its too much to digest and one genre itself suffices for one whole life time to be true and practical). This learning does'nt really stop. And keeps continued life long or as they say  its a quest of the soul for years together and then in its future incarnations  if you believe. Or music is like an ocean the more you dive into it the deeper it seems. Such an interesting discussion, is'nt it.     It could leave you clueless if you don...

A GREAT TEAM AND AN AWESOME LIFE!

    I had a dream once. In that dream I saw all the organs and parts of the body fighting and arguing with each other as to who is the greatest of them all.  The bones said I am very required by the body as I give shape  and form to it otherwise the body would have been a ball of flesh !  The muscles said I give flesh to the body because of which the body looks elegant.  The skin said if I  weren't there  how  would the body cover your ugly frame and shape !  The mouth said i grind the food with teeth and saliva so that the body gets food. Then the stomach added I digest the food and give energy to the body otherwise how would you live?    The excretory organs replied no no , I remove the waste from the body or else how could the body be clean to work well ,the kidneys too echoed yes if the body isn't out of impurities the body wouldn't be alive even for a minute . The eyes mentioned , don't you forget me , if am not there...

THE SENSE OF BELONGING

 It was a feeling of warmth , a sense of belonging , unconditional love coming  towards you , an assurance that someone has come for you , to instill a belief in you that every thing will be taken care of , such was  the hug, the embrace,  of the soft pleasant  breeze . It was very unexpected , which suddenly came in from the window and just then,  a thought came to my mind , could it be really true , can this really happen . It kept me wondering , my eyes moist with mixed emotions , do things like these happen in today's times , it was all but just read or heard in stories or was I just dreaming. I pinched myself just to make sure it's for real. It was that time of the evening when I would wind up everything and had just come into the room to retire , tired with usual routine chores but not stressed . And this breeze woke me up , stirred me, surprised me , a strange excitement ran through my body , my heart was was waiting...
