Life - Castaway

Today I was watching the movie castaway. Tom Hanks has given a brilliant performance. There is one particular monolog in the end which is very inspiring. While he was alone in the island ..one day the tide brought up a sheet to the shore .. he then build up a shaft and used the sheet as a sail and he ventured into the sea. He was found by a ship and brought back to his city Memphis in USA. What he learns from this is that even though you have lost everything and hope in your life you have to Keep breathing, for tomorrow the sun will rise and who knows what the tide would bring!!

Birds And The Concrete Jungle

No more of getting up to the sound of chirping birds. As the trees in my backyard have given way for an upcoming construction site. 

My family had developed a hobby to spot unusual birds with unique sounds, colours and shapes, small and big, black and white. The black ones were usually with stunning colors on their wings or crown. some with elegant blue wings, others proudly displaying their red crowns. I would rush and grab my camera to capture them, only to find that they have flown far away to some other tree. One evening we had spotted a white owl, we kept staring at the owl in amusement and the owl stared back at us. Some birds made a short and sweet sound while others went on and on as if they are telling an interesting story.

But now we have to find something else to amuse our self and the view from my window during the rains is never going to be the same again.
