Bits & Pieces Vol. 11

Whoever said Koel (the bird) sings in a voice that is mellifluous!

Mayb it does in movies, when its time for actors to start singing and dancing in the rain.
I certainly don't find it even one bit inviting when it decided to croon outside of my window early in the morning, when I am trying so hard to stuff my blanket closer and concentrate on my dream. Am not an early riser by any chance, but often these days the Koel chooses to be my defualt alarm clock ( and a very persisitent one ). . . no matter what the time of the day, it ensures not to stop till it has taken away the last drops of my dreamy dreams in the daylight.

I just wonder if it is one lone warrior, of they have an entire army to keep guard and change duties daily, ensuring they get cursed enuff from me.
And the best part is, when the Koel breed takes a day off, they make sure to send a Crow as substitute.

Somebody tell them about devil and the deep sea !!

-------------------------------

I am reading "The Witch of Portobello" by Paulo Coelho.

Love, they tell me. But love doesn't bring and never has brought happiness. On the contrary, it's a constant state of anxiety, a battlefield; it's sleepless nights, asking ourselves all the time if we're doing the right thing. Real love is composed of ecstasy and agony.

Nothing new really, in fact you can find almost similar sounding paragraph in "The Valkyries"by the same author.

Most new wisdom, is only old wisdom repackaged.

-------------------------------

Life will always take you by surprise.
If you leave no room for surprises, you leave no room for life.
