    Dear Sathya..
    Your article was a real eye opener... Actually the other day only I was talking to my Hubby that there are such few sparrows around here in Bangalore whereaas in MUmbai where I grew up we find quite a population...
    Yes I think we all shall wake up only when we have "HUMAN BEING DAY"...

    dear madhu

    that was a nice long fb
    made me want to write more...

    yes the sparrows they say
    dont accept their little ones
    when humans touch them
    the elephants too are like them
    an elephant calf recently died
    because it was nursed back to health
    by humans...when it was sent back
    with the herd
    the elephants rejected the calf
    which died later
    with the animal or bird kind...
    we are the untouchables...!!

    dear priya

    say hai to ammu and appu
    there are sure to be more
    as they bring in their friends
    yes it is a call
    that we feed them a bit
    and keep a bowl of water
    if not to bathe atleast to
    quench their thirst..

    thank you

    dear dear kamala

    panikkinrathe kangal
    to see you after a long time
    with me....

    i too hope it is not that high
    that we kill a sparrow with every call
    but the eggs can become sterile
    and get no birds flying...
    but nature is smart
    they will find a way to survive
    i HOPE

    the concerned are busy
    felling trees widening roads
    and apartments built in treeless
    surroundings...

    the best we can do
    is to grace them with grains
    and water their thirst

    thank you for your wishes

    dear veda

    thank you for the wishes

    i do hope the situation
    is not as bad as it is made out to be
    there are sparrows out in my garden
    and yet the concrete boxes keep piling
    and the future of them cute birds is

    bleak they say...but lets hope they are
    wrong...!!
