Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | I remember living at S.P.Road and watching sparrows everywhere, on my walk to school, while playing in my backyard, around the markets, etc. The Secunderabad Railway Station is still clearly etched in my memory. Every time I went to the station as a child, plenty of sparrows would be lined up on the railway track. I remember this even clearly for i would marvel at the ability of these birds to escape the wheels in the nick of time. Naive innocent child that i was, I'd pray they dont get squashed under the train. I miss the sparrows for I hardly spot any at all around Secunderabad now. |
