  Drongo near Shahpura pond

  Sketching at Chinar Park 

  A sketch of an artist friend...Silent companionship is so rare isn't it?  That's the nicest thing about being with like-minded people, no? The bliss of not having to spell out things. The joy of being understood without words. And having a shared vision of beauty, seen differently but felt in unison.

  This is a gif, please wait a few seconds for the next slide to appear From the 6th floor of our apartment in Bangalore, we see a tree full of  rosy-ringed parakeets that sit there in bunches, cleverly camouflaged between the leaves. Just around sunset, they rouse themselves and fly away, sure of their destination, making as much noise as they can muster. They brighten up my days with their voices and their colors and the whole earth seems younger, brighter, happier with the light of their presence. This is just a little whimsy to share that experience with you...Pictures below in sequence :)
