A NEW FRIEND...

Have I told you about the folk of sparrow that befriended me, some years back...I have got one of them back at my place again...I met with her some ten days ago...some how I wake up early in the morning...when I went out to the balcony I saw her sitting at the railing with a dry leaf in her beaks...she flew away the moment saw me...it hurt me...why shall she be scared of me...decided to instill faith in her that I am harmless...

I was not sure if she would come back again...when I woke up next day and looked out for her, she was not there...I waited for a while and went back to bed again...I arrived office late...it was really a gloomy day...

I almost gave up...but failed to resist myself from giving a try next day again...so wake up a bit earlier then the days before and had some rice grains spread on the balcony...at much to the delight she was there...as usual she had a straw...standing on the railing she looked at me...bending the little head from all sides...as if a computer scanner scanning me, deep inside...there was a stand still for some moments...I was feeling my heart beating faster...yahooo!...she took me to confidence...placed the straw on the railing and picked some grains...of course cautiously...then picked up the straw and flew away...now I was feeling my eyes getting wet...I wished I could have shared the moment I had with my nymph...

I knew I have made my way...the same thing happening the same for the past eight days...she is busy building her nest some where in the building I am living ...continuing her operation, collecting straws...now she is more confident...she do not mind if I move around when she roams around in my balcony...I try to imitate her making sounds like she makes...she also often reply...but do not know what she says...but I can feel she has accepted my friendship

I will cherish...

SAYONARA!

"Yuji San! Are you happy?" asks Frank. (San is the Japanese equivalent of Mr.). Yuji looks at the space in front in a meditative mood (as if he is trying to work out whether he is happy or not). Then he draws a typical big Japanese smile on his face that reflects extreme happiness and shake head heavily, "Yes, Yes"(the second yes to confirm the first yes). This would set all five of us into a roaring laughter. This was the second time I met with Frank. He is 67 and a manager of a European auto giant. He works till 2 O'clock in the night (!) and gets up at 6 in the morning. In spite of that I have never seen him dozing off on a ride as long as four hours. I also have never heard him raising his voice to express dissatisfaction. His silence was enough to set all of us into motion to correct what ever mistake made or occurred. However his voice shakes everything around when he is happy, when he laughs. Yuji is an engineer. As it happens with almost all Japanese, Yu...

I AM WATCHING YOU...

It's the talk of the office now. We are uneasy, working under the ever-inspecting eyes of the cameras installed at the corners of the office floors. Bloody intruders! “What they are trying to convey?" "Simply that you are under scanner. So you are to ensure that you are maintaining the decorum of the office." "But was that not the way things were going in the office before? I have never heard some one doing something unwarranted in the office space." "Why have you forgotten that walls elevators were converted to graffiti boards?" "Some one with a freaky mind must have done that but that does not mean that you will indict every one for that incident." "Why do not you just ignore them? If you are doing nothing that is questionable, why should you bother about those cameras? You will just get familiar to it in a few days." Logically it's true. Unless you are not wrong, you need not worry about the laws and restrictions. But ho...
