Arunima Singh @franxav Yes, that might be the reason. I have one nest of Red Indian bulbul in one of the trees in my terrace garden. That's the favorite one for these birds. I get one nest every year on the same spot.

You may hear this word uttered often. Tension is often used as synonym of worry. Everyone has tensions of his own. I have tensions of my own. For the upcoming Christmas I have to prepare a choir ( singing group and musicians)....

Last Sunday I bought a wrong fish and I'm still silently cursing myself for the foolish act. I was born in the hill country of Bengal. In the tea estates of the hills fish was a rare luxury, though we had meat...

Judy Evans @franxav Me too. I got a bone caught in my neck when I was young and it's taken me a long time to like fish. I still only have it when we're out and I'm sure there are no bones in it.

Now that the presents have been wrapped and the memories come rushing back here is another of my favorite sad Christmas songs. “Blue Christmas” was written by Billy Hayes and Jay W. Johnson back in 1948 and first recorded by Daye...

Anindita Sengupta @franxav That's not the case in Odisha. No politician has the audacity to ask a person to support a party as in Bengal.

Arunima Singh @franxav Yes, I believe that . People find their partners when they are destined to meet. We might get worried with all societal expectations and worries. But things happen when they are meant to happen.

So, ultimately, July has waved bye. It was my birthday month. At least for some days I was happy. But there were moments that made my heart heavy. The Texas flood took many lives and turned a happy day into a sad one. Closer...
