bird flu in india

here we go again. first it was a scare, & now it is a grim reality.
this is just a precursor to calamities & worsening scenarios as seasons change.
its pleasant in mumbai today, sunny & warm.
but the summer is going to be a difficult one with electricity & water cuts, & the temperatures soaring higher than before.
i look at my plants every morning & wonder what awaits them this monsoon. i pass by the shanties in low lying areas & wonder what illness will befall the children who frollick with gay abandon on the roadside.
gloomy monday morning...

In another context, would you agree if I told you that the sight of flying birds(other birdflew) is the prettiest sight in cinema?

of gloomier things to come, while we wait for the one thing that sustains us all both directly and indirectly-- rain.
