The evening time is full of flight movements of birds. Just before it was dark, I happened to spot these birds during their short stops at their flight stations. The Golden Oriole was a surprise.
For the avians the nights are different from the days. They rest in one place rather than move about.
There is a demand to make Mumbai a 24 hour city where the shops, restaurants, metro trains, cinema halls, etc run 24 hours. This is a push to increase the merchandise at a time when there is economic recession.
Every time we encroach on the rhythm of day and night, rest and work, we are challenging the order ordained for human body.
The silence and stillness of the night all around our cottage is most refreshing. Even our dogs are asleep unless they are disturbed intruding cats in the garden!
Rest and work is the way of life!
