This afternoon I was reclining on sofa chair ,my back towards the window,which opens in the balcony facing road.Eyes closed,was not thinking anything in particular but was certainly feeling a bit sad.Today by this time I was to be in Kanpur for my friend’s daughter’s marriage but this leg infection has messed up with all my programmes.I was not exactly complaining but silence in and around was laden with a kind of heaviness.Suddenly a sweet chirp stole into my silence.I did not pay much attention to it as on their way from Amaltas tree to the pillar where their pot of grains is kept many birds halt and hop in the balcony.During winters this traffic continues whole of the day.After few notes of melodious chirps it occurred to me that it appears to be coming from much shorter distance than balcony.Opening my eyes I looked around the room .None of the doors or windows were open but there it was this tiny ,cute green colored bird sitting on the grill of the ventilator above the door.I don’t know when and how it entered but it was there filling the stillness of room with it’s tinkling voice.I opened the door to let it go out but immediately the partner of the bird entered the room.Both of them now started chirping with much vigour. Of course I could not interpret their conversation but the happiness of meeting was all there to feel.They flew in the room in circles two three times,sat on blades of fan ,on pelmets all the time filling the room with their musical chirping.The mist of gloom was lifted and the silvery strains kept on glistening long after the pair had flew away.
I remembered a line I read somewhere.’If I keep a green bough in my heart,a singing bird will come.’

I am several months late, but loved the post. The photograph too. Nice to have windows that do not have the mosquito mesh.
The birds cheer our moods and by looking at them so busy, we too want to continue working.
It is almost 3.p.m. I am having lunch, but I can hear them outside the window,
My tiredness is slowly ebbing away.
Aren’t we lucky?:-)

Thanks for the visit and your arriving late turned out to be a boon in the way that it refreshed my experience of those moments.I relived them.
I love to be in close proximity of nature .Though have been born and brought up in a state {U.P.} which is the least opportunity to enjoy it’s company yet I always love to create my small nook and corners where I can be with nature.
Birds are really kind to us.they visit us daily .different kinds of birds.A pot of grains and water is always ready for them on my small terrace.they roam there freely and sometimes enter the rooms as well.
We sure are blessed to have them.They inspire us ,cheer us up……

I would like to know what grain you are using for feeding them Namita. I tired with some maize or corn I don’t remember and the birds ignored it, squirrels ate them.

we use millet and sparrows ,doves eat them very fondly.
