It has been a while since I wrote my last blog post... let me put it this way…I was nudged to write by a little incident that happened yesterday…
I am not a bird lover, but there is something about the sparrows that visit my home every day. They come in small groups about 3-4 at a time; always at the right time mind you… at around 9 in the morning, at around 1 in the afternoon and say 5 in the evening… visit the balcony in the kitchen, knock on the window pane impatiently... in case my mom hasn’t put some rice grains on the deck already, have their quota for the day and fly off.
Each day this happens and no one gives much thought to it. Yesterday no sparrows were seen. And I missed them. I missed the chirping and the fighting…Everything about it. I was looking out the balcony every hour or so. It Is so true when people say u don’t realize u miss something unless it’s not there.
Always we tend to overlook trivial things… most times it is these small things that make a big difference. I mean there are so many little things that w pass of as routine but never realize their importance unless they are there no more.
Today morning to before leaving for college I ended up telling my mom ‘ma look out for the sparrows..Hope they come in today..’ My mom said ‘why the sudden interest? You never ask about them’. I just said “there is something about those birds ma…”
