Birds do not sing because they are happy. It is a territorial behavior.

A nice weekend

The trees around our house and office, since last three days, have been flocked over by hundreds of Dark Throated Thrushes twittering away to glory. Since Salim Ali’s “Book of Indian Birds” does not list them identification was a challenge which we enjoyed.. …

The summer has really set in – and so has the best part of summer – the flowering of mogra bushes which are outside our house. Swati likes to have a bunch mogra flowers put in every room so the complete house is filled with that sweet sensuous aroma.

The birds also are nesting now so we are seeing a lot of them around.

Yesterday morning after a gap of nearly a year another effort to revive Nagpur LUG was made by Kanti Jadia, 6 of us met at SANIsoft office. Kanti who is a thoroughly brainwashed GNUhead was told by me that I would like to see technology as the mainstay rather than ideology. He as expected did not agree. However we did agree to find a bigger place to meet – A local polytechnic college has been suggested. If it works out then may be we will see some activity, but I don’t expect much.

P.S. Thanks to all of you who commented on my previous post
