u were in gurgaon! and to think i didnt come to costa coffee for that DBM coz it was way too far off from my place in gurgaon..

BTW birds are there in Delhi too.. (abhee tak)..I have recently spotted HUGE hawks sitting at the terrace of my home in Delhi. But yes, Haryana with its khet khalihaan variety of flora, manages to put many bird sanctuaries to shame.. not to forget the bird sanctuaries that Haryana has.

Long back, on 6th July 2004, I wrote about them:

Really love these noisy birds.

First Rain: Many of my hostel memories have to do with shooing out birds. :) Pigeons especially have great propensity to be hit by fan blades. So gingerly the fan would be switched off and then shooing would begin!

cheriel: thanks :)

lak: The part where I live – DLF is full of organisations that burn the midnight oil. As a result at night the sky glows with a strange orange. Even the night golf course bounced off a lot of light. As a result the stars feel well beyond reach. But some kilometers out, the sky is all sparkly again.

Akshay: If you ever miss crows – I suggest you go to the TISS campus in Chembur. I think they run a training camp for all crows in that campus. :)

Neha – I remember till very quiet recently seeing no sparrows at all in Bombay and then all of sudden there they are again. Its a welcome sight I tell you. May be our vultures will bounce back too.

Good post. Did you notice, one can see the stars much more clearly in Gurgaon, than in Delhi?

Delhi seems to be a teeming with pigeons though … a very industrious pigeon managed to make a nest and get three eggs into it, in my hostel room, in just two days !!!

And a weaver bird has made a nest, hanging on the clothesline in the balcony outside my room at home – Delhi is quite full of surprises :o)
