A bird is a finder!



The above four photos of a parakeet feeding on a raw rambutan fruit was a worthwhile sight to watch. The parquet having begun to feed on a raw fruit that it was bitter and spit the pulp out. It soon moved on to a branch which had rid fruits. 





 







The above four photos are of it feeding on the ripe fruit and leaving the tree thereafter!

Between these two experiences of the Parakeet, there is a thought that this bird leaves behind!

Its pursuit was for its existential need!

Usually Parakeets move about as a flock! Seeing one Parakeet alone was therefore unusual. 

This experience suggests that Birds are Finders!

They find for themselves what have been provided for ! 

The current unemployment level in India has crossed 20 percent of the eligible population in the job market. 

The migration of people cross culturally looking for job within in India is a phenomenon of about 25 years. During this period migration overseas has also increased. The overseas migration started in the nineteen sixties with opportunities in the Middle East countries. 

I wish there would be a radical remedial approach to create jobs, retain people at their job and provide amenities for them to live well!

A welfare states ensures that the basic existential needs are provided for! 

I am not sure if I can believe this, told to me by a press reporter accidentally!  If one state government directed all its expenditure on advertising in newspapers to highlight the achievements of the government, that savings in a year could provide funds to build 100 houses for the low income group!

There might be indiscretion in planning  for welfare measures !
