I was awakened by an unusual sound today morning……that of screeching crows. The commotion was justified, when I saw the sight.
It was pretty strange scene. One crow was stuck between the electric wires. One of its wings was completely entangled between the wires. What was curious was, there were a bunch of other crows that were trying to “detangle” the feathers. And this was done by turns! I was surprised further, when my dad said this was going on for sometime now. We have all heard the story of the “thirsty crow”…. But I was seeing a bunch of intelligent crows.
There is a saying in Kannada, which literally translates to “if a crow sees food, it’ll call the other crows as well”. But here, I was seeing this picture and so many things were running in my head.
1. Obviously, crows are intelligent.
2. As we humans have friends, even birds do.
3. Even birds and animals, show that a friend in need, is a friend indeed.
4. Birds of the same feather flock together.
5. Heartfelt thanks to all my friends, who stood by me, in my times of sadness.
Birds were sensitive enough to stand by their fellow bird when it was in trouble, but not all humans can do that. I would admire a person, who can stand by you in times of difficulty. I have seen a group of friends that are available only during “Party time”, but not after, when you actually need them. There are always friends to take the free drinks, but very few offer back. There are always friends who pass the bill to you always, but never offer to pay even once. These are not actually friends, but just acquaintances….who will leave you at the drop of a hat.
This reminds me of the saying..Think over it.
If you really need to know who your friends are, take your address book , call them and ask them you need them to drive you to the airport. The ones who agree are your friends, the others are, well just acquaintance.
I am and will always be proud of the fact that I am always there when my friends need me. I am fortunate to have some really good friends…who care for me and who are true to their words.

Focus
For the time being, let me just shift my focus to some other prevailing things that matter to the entire "Junta", than clogging my blog with my sad stories.
Its not that, i'll stop about them, occassionally you would also read sad poems, anger vented out, and more of frustrations.
Being in bangalore my entire life, i cant think of any other city which is as green. I know the city is losing its charm, cant really get to know the reason why.
I am just an ordinary girl, living a standard life, using the common mode of transport. Yeah, if you are also a fellow bangalorean, you might have guessed, i travel every single working day in BMTC ( Supposedly the most economical and the most profitable in the country).
Since the monsoon has set in, its raining almost every single day. So it did yesterday as well.Everbody knows how bad the traffic pile up is if it rains. It was pouring cats and dogs from 4PM or so. I realised in office that it was raining only by 5. Invariably the day i need to leave by the normal time, i end up leaving late.
I reached Majestic by around 7 PM, only to find the entire station is jammed. This wasnt the first time it was happening to me. So i being cautious, just got into the bus that was leaving the RING. Time : 7.10PM
Time:7.50PM, the bus iam in, is still at Khoday circle . Add to this, an ambulance that is stuck near the Railway station. We are about to get a green signal,when the traffic cop realises ambulance is stuck. So another long wait to get a green Signal (seems so apt to me --- Always waiting for green Signal). Once this cleared, i reached Rajajinagar 1st block within the next 15 mins. Now, West of chord rd is "donated" for Metro construction, the junction is choc-a-bloc with traffic. there are no signals, and one cop cannot control such traffic. Its actually a complete mess..come to think about it, the 2 wheelers trying to squeeze in watever little space is available, the 4 wheelers trying to overtake other vehicles stuck in the jam, and

Happyz Endingz
I as a person do not like movies that have a sad ending. Infact I dread to watch them also.The first thing I think before watching a movie, will be, will it make me happy at the end of the movie?
I always thought, even in my life the love I get, will be as in movies – Happyz endingz , But after such an incident in my life, I‘ve started to believe, happy endings happen only in movies and not in real life and that is why people watch movies. I cannot be so optimistic as shahrukh in the movie OSO… “ by the end, everything is happy. If it is not happy, its not the end….picture abhi baaki hai mere dost”
That’s the irony…its only in movies .
Come to think of it, it was “HAPPY ENDING” for my ex……..as he put it . “ I do not know about the future, but from past 2 months, I am very relieved “ He is happy, moving on in his life. But how can a person lead such a guiltless life? Its not as if we were infatuated. We were mature…might be too much. To tell, it was a fancy, it was for over 3 yrs .
Y ME?
