Every morning this Magpie sits on this tank where we breed fish in the hope of catching one! Although this cement tank is adjacent to the Kennel where Daffney keeps a watch over the predators, Daffney has got used to this daily visitor and is silent during its search for the fish. Its beak is too large to go through the wire net covering the tank.
One day, I removed the cover and waited for trey Magpie to come. It sensed a trap and stayed on the tree top till I closed the tank with its cover. I saw it sitting on the net after a while in the hope of getting its prey.
Magpie never gives up and comes every morning for the last one year!
Yesterday, a student reminded me of the dream of the Argentinians to win the FIFA world cup after 16 years since Maradona won it for them with a goal, which he referred to as the ‘hand of God, to counter the criticism, that he pushed the ball with his hand unnoticed by the umpire!
Hope keeps us active, alert and aspiring.
A medical student told me today that he was keen to apply for the Rhode scholarship to study molecular genetics in Oxford. That has been his longing since he joined the medical school.
The domestic worker who works for us would like his two children study engineering or computer science. They have a long way to go as they are only in the middle school.
I wish, we would be a generation of people with hope and vision! It will be antidote to self resignation or surrendering to the destiny!
