After coming to chennai in1966 I lived in small portions . There also I watched them in the mornings. Then we moved to Delhi to my surprise there also lots of kuruvis.for the past. Ten years, it slowly vanished from my sight .nowadays in and around mandaveli and Mylapore there are no sparrow at all. It saddens my heart. When ever I find time I used to go to my village and watch them to my hearts content. I took so many photos of them . It earned a nick name for myselfbfrom my husband ---- kuruvikkari......sparrows chirping in the mornings gives so much happiness . I pray the almighty to give the same pleasure to my next generations. I will do whatever I can for this cause. Thanks a lot for taking care. |
