One day i decided to photograph our domestic birds because iam fond of birds and photographing them. In Jan 2012 i spotted these house sparrows at inner circle of rajiv chowk exactly near to the lift of gate no.1 of metro station of rajiv chowk.
There was a small tree near to that lift and bunch of sparrows i spotted on that tree. And i felt so good when i spotted them in huge number. Then after that another day i again decided to photograph the same house sparrows at the same spot but unfortunately that particular tree was cut down by someone. I felt so bad when i saw that barren log of tree which was full of joyful house sparrows. That day i felt so bad about selfish human nature. I always wonder where they would go after that. |
