The Crow-cratic City

I have been monitoring this since last 5-6 days... Every evening, around 6.10, 6.15 starts the clamor of crows, yelling their throats out at its threshold. Irritated by their screeching and squealing, I opened my gallery. And there I go astonished to discover that there is an abnormal accumulation of crows here in parel! More precisely- in fronta my flat !

Certainly something was methodical with the way they assembled. There was a sync in their conduct. There were three places where these 100-120 Crows were strewn. One group of 35-40 in my front-left.. Another of 30-35 in my front-right.. and third one on top of my building, should be around 30, which for obvious reasons I couldn’t capture.

TO MY FRONT LEFT

 

And TO MY FRONT RIGHT-

A cluster would fly from one place to another, yelling like idiots!! They would move in random demeanor pretending, to us humans, to be REALLY conscious of what they’re doing, hehe... It seemed to me very amusing, for One- How do they know WHO flew from where, ALL LOOK THE SAME !! :D hehe.. Secondly, even if there was any tactic to single each one out (which, ob, only those black bodies would understand) Why do they scream out so loud as they fly!!!

Hehe, and I did try to get an algorithm of their system of mannerisms, but there was nothing of that sort sensed, by me atleast : ) But it gave me an impression of a sort of a play-school of crows where they would gather every eve from 6-7… Coz right around 7 they would start getting meager in number.

Crows are never described as ‘beautiful’ by poets and philosophers, for they are really not.. but a more impartial reason for establishing that can be that crows look uglier when viewed from bottom.. check out the bottom view if ever you get a better chance :P ( I do have pics but aren’t so clear to give you any idea, still an attempt)

A Citation- Although Mumbai is considered to be a city with, probably, maximum pollution but, observe the next time you visit Mumbai, trees in Mumbai are ubiquitous… and so are crows :D and chiefly in my area Bats, too, are markedly abundant in number. I have had a bad experience of bats, but I shall save it for another blog.. :D

For now,

Goodnight/day!!!

FRIENDS and a foe

No, this time I ain’t talking about F.R.I.E.N.D.S.-- the series, but friends, the people : )

People who understand, be with us, allow us to be what we are : ) because bettering us will change the person we are : ) and they really don’t want us to change coz they love US and not the better person emerging out of us :P

So much has been already said about friends… so much written but even after everything is said and done, there still more.. and I feel each of our lives is just incomplete without this realization. Understanding your composition is the most satiating thing one can do in life. And when one realizes it, believe me, world’s the bliss land!

Not that I have figured it out all and rightly, but the incoherence of my mind of understanding my constitution has started to un-mess up : ) Ob it is the family, that goes even without mentioning it. But My Friends are the most significant part of who/what/where/how I am … its dire for me to think of myself without my buddies. There have been times when I might have helped them but there have been more of it when they’ve understood me totally without making an issue of my mistakes. And there’s no way I can thank them for what they have given me. A guilt free life. I love you all, friends! ( I really wanna tag so many people here )

Even as I write this, it all flashes in fronta my eyes, the times we spent, the fun we had, the quarrels we had, the crushes we had, the pokers, the rides, the laughs, the trips, the accidents, the lunches, the brunches, the naps, the Coffees, the movies, the walks, the talks, the gossips, the nights and I can go on and on and on, (don’t get me started :P)

There should be somebody who is there to give you a stern look when you’re drifting from the hypothetically correct path, somebody to share your laughs to make them denser somebody to share your blues to make the shade lighter… somebody who makes you realize that you have a might of a Tiger (even when you are actually a bheegi billi :P) , somebody who’d give it up all to make you realize your strength (irrespective of its actual existence : P ).. who compliments you and complements you…

They're the indispensable and most significant part of who I’m or for that matter who whoever is! It’s oozing out right now coz of the realization that now graduation’s on the threshold of ending and everybody at the onset of a new life ahead… this realization, though, is hell.

My foe consistently wins… yes, my foe, the TIME, who will soon take away all my friends… all my people….a major part of what composes me.. But it’s a struggle. Struggle where I’ll make a supreme effort to dilute its, weaken its resolve, offset its aim and de-intensify its effect! I wont let ‘time’ take away my friends from me for its my priceless & beautiful possession. And this struggle, I name it LIFE !!!

Its all about being apart yet so close, and subside effect of TIME.

All In

My heartbeats diminish,
Remain only a few,
Each time I see the gate,
That leads me away from you.

I would defy the forces
Doing us apart
In your eyes I would hide
Won’t let you go any far.

It was life till a point,
What followed is a dream,
Been a series of the sweet firsts,
Don’t wanna face that of worsts.

Can’t know if I am alive or dead,
Everything’s already been said,
There’s something I still want to
But I cannot say to you.

Take me outta myself,
And have me only for you.
I have tried it very hard,
I cannot ‘All In’ you.
