Apropos of my anthem for culled ghati chickens. Sharad Pawar worked the bellows on chicken-eating last week, urging people to eat chicken with a vengeance. A celebrity whose name I don't recall was interviewed by- what else- Bombay Times. She had campaigned for chicken-eating, beginning with a most confident "because if they are cooked to beyond 70 degrees it is safe, the flu also gets cooked."Okay. But I have only one issue. The chickens are stealing the flu's thunder. Rename all dishes I say, today. 'Chilly Chicken Flu.' 'Chicken Flu Pepper Steak'. 'Egg Flu Double Omlette'. Just because flu cannot speak, cannot have wavy-haired flag-raising spokeswomen. Give them their royalties on every bite.
Speaking of birds, here's a snap of mine taken on Marine drive. I stayed with them for two minutes, setting up and kneeling close, and then suddenly rose, to catch them, click, in their whipping takeoff. In hindsight it seems like a dirty trick , but I'm sure they calmed down and went back to picking easy grain. What pampered pigeons they are; they deserved that one little scare no?

Pampered or not,mean trick I say,that too during their meal time??!! Ye have incurred Lord venky(not of processed chicken fame toclarify)..Poor ickle lil birdie thingys all flying awayyy!
'What pampered pigeons they are; they deserved that one little scare no?' - No they dont.. I dont like it when people do that.. shoo dogs, throw stones at them, shoo birds.. its so unkind.. All for selfish pleasure..not right .. not right at all
Hmmm...I just rose quickly with the camera- but yes, they did get a shock when they were happily crunching grain. Surely it's not as bad as throwing stones? Okay. I plead guilty and shall be a good boy from now on.
Hi
That was an interesting post
I'm surprised that you haven' received more comments, more accolades so far
Keep such posts coming
Though I may NOT agree to all what your said, your blog brought back lots of old memories and thoughts about OUR COUNTRY, our society, friends and relatives
While we as world citizens think that Justice and equality are the most important cornertones of a civil society, does the ground reality reflect that ?
We feel that friendship, love, affection and above all our family is very important in shaping our lives and thoughts. To most of us, a mother, the epitome of love and sacrifice, plays and important role
But what happens when the same mother is denied justice in her own family ?
