One day i heard this familiar chirp but could not see the sparrow. In the days that followed i saw very few birds and it brought so much happiness to me. As a child we lived close by and we had nests built for them in the house . So i had the opportunity to observe these tiny lovely creatures from childhood. Now i give them rice grains everyday which i keep in a small container in my desk.
