    dear malathy

    thank you for the long fb
    detailed one at that...

    yes inventions are made
    with great effort
    all in good intentions..
    while some are good for man
    some turn out to be great disasters
    like the one you mentioned..

    sparrows are around
    and perhaps they will learn to live
    with the cell phone around..
    like dodging the waves...???i wonder..

    they cannot live in the forests
    or so i read from google
    as their food and ours are alike...
    we have learnt to live
    with less trees
    so will they with less food and
    water...!!

    thank you

    the sparrows and minahs will soon join
    the dinosaurs..

    are for...
    and reading such material can motivate
    people to do something about it..

    dear radheshyam

    we will dear
    thats what days are for...
    reading this write up
    say atleast ten of us can
    feed the birds
    and those who are already doing it
    can sing that they are doing it
    and do more...
    there is still time
    plant more trees...
    love mom more
    treat children to books and toys
    and banish pain away

    thanks

    dear custard
    so you are giving a call
    for fish day...?
    fish are friends not food
    ...........
    perhaps they are giving a high
    statistics about killing a sparrow
    for every call made..
    i hope it is not that high

    my sons were saying
    mom we cant call anyone on the
    cell...!!to tell about your write up....????
    as we can be killing a bird with every
    call...!!

    but i guess it can help
    the world talk less????

    thanks

    Dear Sathya

    First of all congratulations for the article. A wakeup call for everyone of us.
    Very well written.

    Even it was news to me, that the mobile phones are causes for their extinction!!!!!!!

    Well in a small way, if each one of us try, by not using phone, unless it is very urgent, it can be very helpful.

    dear lakshmi

    i was also shocked to learn
    we are killing birds too...!!with our talk
    but we are killing them
    with our modern lifestyle
    living in apartments
    felling trees for comfort???
    making neat footpaths or cement compounds

    sparrows are just indicators of
    pollution in this dear world
    trust more people wake up
    to save dear world from humans...!!
    dont you scare me by saying
    it will come back to haunt..us..!
    poor me

    thanks

    Dear Satya,

    First of all congratulations, i read the article, and i must saym,u have written it so well, u have made the point with yr lovely brand of humour.Who has the time, or the water for these poor birds.

    i feed teh sparrows everyday, on the walls of my home where we put bajra and water for them, and so also for parrots, and peacocks.

    And it is a lovely sight, to sit with harsha, tuffy at my feet, drinking tea, reading the papers, and the birds twittering away.it is heaven.

    and they dont go to my neighbour's house just to ours, for they are marwaris, and ont have a big heart like this Sindhi called Kamal, for they eat just 5 ruppes worth of grain everyday, and give u so much pleasure in return.

    Regards

    kamal
