| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | yesterday , ie 18th dec 2012 ,a Tuesday and being my weekly day off from work , had gone to Devraja Market , in Mysore to buy some vegetables as i had lost touch with this market for a long time and as i was walking inside and reached the northern end of the market where they sell greens and spices i noticed a couple of sparrows on the ground just hopping around and picking the grains or worms or what ever, my eyes popped out and i remembered this website immediately. This for me was quite a revelation just to see the sparrow after a really long time , years , inside mysore city , maybe i was not obeservant enough or was pre occupied all these years , or had never ventured deep inside the market for so long , but to see the sparrows , about 3-4 in num for the amount of time i spent there , say 45mins walking and shopping , it was a cheerful sight and was happy to walk out apart from the old smell and sight of the market , the sight of the sparrows inside the market more than made my day ! |
