Am sitting here in the OOS of A…and in St Louis, one of the things that hits me is the definition of poverty.

For the first time, I was able to visit Hebbal Lake, as Garima Bhatia had offered to give interested people a lift to the first Sunday birding session there. So KM’s cousin-from-Qatar, and I went there early in the morning to find that we had "mist" a lot...there was so much of it, in fact, that bird activity began long after we reached there. But a hot cup of tea followed by another helped put a lot of warmth in us, and as the experienced birders reached the place, it was like a who's who of the birding community!

Here’s “Catching Up With the World”….

The greatest of treasures in this world are friends….

I am off to Oosa for a while, and I hope the problem that is taking me there is satisfactorily resolved…but you have no hope, oh readers, because the minute I have some spare time over there, I will start blogging again….!
