The other day me and my friends were talking about our childhood. The fun we had in school and playing sports in evening and lot more discussions. and suddenly our discussions diverted to topic on sparrows. We were amused to know that we are not able to see even a single sparrow today. We felt sorry . Not for sparrows but for our inability to do something on this. today our childrens does'nt even know what sparrow looks like. How exactly a nest looks like. The actual chidiya is missing and i am here standing helpless. I came to know about this site thru yahoo. Thanks to yahoo. I really want to give my support in whatever way i can to bring back the sparrows. |
