I was once the girl who used to flit down the stairs and jump down on the last. I was once the girl who sang in the shower, sang when there were no others. I was once the girl who used to dance whenever I got the chance; sometimes a…

Red whiskered bulbuls used to come often to our apartment complex. It has a unique call, “bi-chu bi-chu” (that’s how I understand it as 🙂 ) So if I’m nearer to the balcony, I try to look at where the sound is coming from and see how many there are.…

Sparrows are my most favourite birds. They are so tiny, cute, a little fluffy and have a nice chirp. I love watching them flitter here and there. Some used to visit us and we used to keep rice for it, but then they stopped coming. Also we had put up…
