the lady who lived two floors above us would always keep water for birds to drink on the window of her kitchen.. I had mentioned about her earlier.. ma and me were pretty inspired by her and started keeping water for the days she had gone out of town.. (of course ma did the work .. I was just inspired !!)
unfortunately she is now no more..
she was related to few by blood and related to others by her deeds.
Yesterday ma observed that few pigeons have been coming to our window a lot and then it struck her that these birds must be looking for the lady for water and then she kept a bowl of water there.
In the evening ma observed that half the water was gone and then even a few crows came over to drink water
ma hates crows as they are supposed to be bearers of bad news but of course she has not much of a choice here as her humanity is at stake !!
so now we have decided to follow what the noble lady had started.. keeping a bowl of water for the birds everyday henceforth..
life sure goes on and yet we take a moment to remember the people who made it worth living in their little way and touched so many lives ....
I think thats a really sweet thing to do.. carry on her deeds.. At home, my mom has been feeding crows, mynahs, squirrels and sparrows all in morning and a high tea too.. if she's late, they'll call her.. used to the sight now
