For a while, some things in life seem transient. Everyday I used to enjoy that loud chattering made by those little Mynas nested on a nearby coconut tree. And I would stand staring and wondering at the wonderful display of flight formation performed by a flight of Cranes in my village. Now all of a sudden they all have disappeared. And I am too late to recognize this subtle change. Perhaps I am very much preoccupied with my eccentric incongruous existence. I can't remember exactly when I have last seen a chirruping sparrow and have spotted a wild duck followed by its ducklings. The sight of gray fox which once was prevalent in my village has become a rarity now. And there are lot of such remarkable changes which I forgot to notice. However I find solace everyday in watching the newly arrived rackety parrots and noisy stripped squirrels which have become so frequent in my neighborhood. Occasionally I go out to have a look at those fork tailed birds guarding our fields as usual and that shrieking blue bird with its wagging tail, those grey birds which I'd like to call ground birds because they, unlike other winged bipeds, prefer ground for foraging and that rare yellow bird well noun for its gentleness and shyness. Every night an owl is perching on a nearby lamp post. Recently I've spotted a white plump bird while it was drinking water from a lough in our village, of its name I have no idea. Our house is occasionally visited by two doves...Hmm...May be this transience doesn't apply to our attitude and feelings towards nature. The nature around me is dynamic and I'm trying to adapt myself to its dynamism.
