seema muralidhara - Siddharth Nagar Society No 5 CHS Borivali West Mumbai Maharashtra

Sparrows to me symbolise happiness and thrift. They seem to be happy with so little! They work hard and their chirping is a mood-lifter! I remember, not so long ago, when they would happily have mud baths right outside our building in fairly large numbers.
Of late, though we see them around, their numbers have definitely dwindled. No longer do we see them flitting in and out of mud, preening and cleaning themselves.
The pigeons and the crows have come to dominate in our area that is fast becoming a concrete jungle.
