Travel and Living 12-03-2011-Part1-Sparrow!!

I wonder why the term "Travel & Living", well it simply means Live every moment of life... We all know and believe Life is a journey. So it is very important that we live the present and Live every moment... Wonder why when we go on family trips amidst so many MOM-DAD arguments, Aunt-MOM stares, Cousin-Cousin attitude, Sister-Brother Fights still they are just wonderful.. Well  that is because they were all lived every moment...

We get to learn many things while we do these trips... Yes every travel is a lesson in  itself but for now let me concentrate on the family travel trip.... Tonight I’m going to write something about recent trip to Tirupati for my Cousin's wedding...

We started from Bangalore... On the way stopped by a place called Mulbagal.. This is the place of Sreepaadaraaja.. And "I belong to his Mutt"! Wonderful place so very peaceful.. I saw a young couple performing some rituals.. They had such blissful faces... I can't get deeper into this topic... Have something in my mind on this-Will write soon...

 While we were waiting for temple pujari - I saw something astonishing... a very familiar looking bird... chirping away to glory... "A male Sparrow”... it was soon joined by its brother I guess!!  I could only get one picture of it... While he was sitting on template entrance roof top!

The point here is 20th March happens to be "World Sparrow day"... What?? Yes it so sad to learn this sweet little birdie is on verge of extinction... Why?? Well again we humans are the cause.... when i saw this Sparrow i was little nostalgic.. Remembered by childhood... In our living room there was a little open space at one corner of the roof and there lived a Sparrow couple..... There are tales and many tales about them.. Which I will write in near future... 
SPOT THE SPARROW!!

 It is  like  that we do not have time to notice about  small things. in life. We have forgotten, basics, grandma stories, childhood games and yes the Sparrows.. The point is we losing something very important? Can we do something to get back these things? Or our next Gen will read about all this in a history lesson? Can we afford Sparrow Extinction... Food for thought!
