December 24, 2023
बेघर हूँ मेरा कोई ठिकाना नहीं है
मकान है दीवारें हैं आशियाना नहीं है
धुन वही गा लेता हूँ जो दुनिया कहती है
मेरा कोई अपना तराना नहीं है
जिए जाते हैं क्यूँ कि जिम्मेदारी है
वैसे ज़िंदा रहने का कोई बहाना नहीं है
कैसे मोड़ दें इस ज़िन्दगी के अंजाम को
ज़िन्दगी है ज़िन्दगी कोई फ़साना नहीं है
बेघर हूँ मेरा कोई ठिकाना नहीं है
मकान है दीवारें हैं आशियाना नहीं है

Valley School, Bngbirds 4th Sunday outing, 241223: email to Bngbirds io egroup
December 24, 2023As usual, the year picks up speed; after limping through the frist few days and weeks, things speed up, and before we know it, our daily calendars have just a few pages left to tear off!
It’s Christmas Eve, and we all gathered together in the comfortably nippy morning at the gate of Valley School, and after the most-of-the-group photo was taken, we divided ourselves into two groups, some electing to follow Chandu, Garima, and Ulhas with his super new scope, and others with me…Seshadri, Vidisha, and MBK (that’s our affectionate way of referring to Dr M B Krishna) Our group walked towards the west, on the concrete path that was laid last year.
Well, all of us had actually started the birding even before the photograph, with an Indian Grey Hornbill calling for attention (and getting it in full measure!) on a faraway tree. As we started, a Golden Oriole, and a White-bellied Drongo, sitting far off, glinteed golden yellow in the sunlight and we set off hoping to see more.
We were not disappointed! A White-throated Kingfisher flew past in a flash of cobalt blue; a Coppersmith Barbet came, perched on top of a bare tree for a while, allowing us to look and click, before flying off.
It looked as if we might not even be able to complete the trail, as at several points, we stopped to look at many birds which were out looking for their morning meal (or drink, if we consider the nectar from the flowers, especially from a Silk Cotton Tree…where we saw several species of birds!) Out came the binoculars and the bazookas, and all of us had a great time feasting our eyes while the birds feasted their little tummies. A group of Sunbirds…Purple, Purple-rumped, and a Loten’s pair with their oversize beaks; Indian White-eyes. Drongos (both the A and B variety, that is, Ashy and Black!), Spotted and Laughing Doves, some LBJs or Little Brown Jobs as we call the Warblers, and Pale-billed Flowerpeckers Tawny-bellied Babblers glowed orange in the light.
We heard several birds as well. Puff-throated Babblers (which later showed themselves too), Yellow-billed Babblers, a solitary Yellow-eyed Babbler….I was trying to enumerate the birds names and it sounded as if I was babbling, too.
A Peacock, with a fresh long tail growing out, perched in the tree and made its harsh call, as did an Iora. Overhead, Pond Herons, Little Egrets, and the common raptors of our skies, the Black and Brahminy Kites, made their appearance evey now and then. I do think I saw an Orange-headed Thrush in the clutter, but since it was too brief and no one else saw it, I did not include it in my checklist.
Rose-ringed Parakeets squawked at each other. We got a few Jungle Mynas as well as our usual Common ones. Some less usual sightings were the Black-headed and the Large Cuckooshrike, and a Grey-bellied Cuckoo which vanished quickly into the foliage.
Nor were birds the only lovely sights. We saw many Common and Crimson Roses, some Pansies, several varieties of Blues (Lyacaenids as they are called) and Grass Yellows, dotting the air and adding to the beauty of the scene.
And…the scene was so beautiful! There are times when I don’t need to look for birds, butterflies or insects at all; the greenery around, the golden morning sunlight falling in oblique rays and dappling the path, the trees bending over the sluggish stream at the brigde…I would love a walk in the School campus any time, even if I was told I could not see anything else! I pointed out several interesting trees, plants, and medicinal herbs to those around me. I find them fascinating, though I am never sure if my audience shares my enthusiasm or are just giving me a patient hearing until they can scan for the next bird!
Well, we speeded up a little after we crossed the bridge, and coming via the large Fig tree and quickly noting several kinds of spiders, grasshoppers and Katydids, we arrived at the canteen area, where chai and raagi biscuits were kindly provided by the School. Contentedly munching, we exchanged notes…but all conversation suddenly stopped as the Ficus tree suddenly sprouted Small Minivets and two flashy Paradise Flycatchers (we had already got a great haul of Flycatchers on our trail). This gave rise to what I call the BLD …Bird Location Dialogue…”Where? Where?” …”Can you see that thick horizontal branch? Look at the Y behind it and look further…”…. “OHHHH! YESSS!” (the last indicating that the person had located the bird, too! )
Ulhas brought out the Super Scope. Obviously, that is not the brand name, but why I call it so is because this model can a. Track birds as they move, and b. instead of each person having to put their eye to the eyepiece and peer in for a look, the image is displayed on an electronic pad, allowing several people to see the bird being focused on. What a marvel! (I am hoping to see more of it tomorrow on my walk at Saul Kere, where Ulhas has promised to come with it.)
He decided to do a panoramic shot and there were moments of mirth. First, we all sat still while the device slowly rotated (we don’t know which part of the rectangular device mounted on the tripod, had the camera!) …and Ulhas announced that this was not successful. Swarna took a mobile shot, remarking that there was nothing like old technology…but Ulhas ried a second time…only to have what I dubbed the Green-backed Canteen Bird (a lady in a green coverall, who was going to collect the chai/biscuits from the canteen!) walked across, all unaware of her photobombing and our silent and intent stares at her. His third attempt, which we patiently sat through, was successful, and we felt very “Big Brother is watching us” as the device panned across. We hope to see the video shortly…Ulhas will tell us where he is posting it.
We had a discussion about the breakfast venue; we have not been very happy with Paakashala lately, so we went up to Udupi Garden, a little further on Kanakapura Road, It was terribly crowded, so we all sat where we could and yet found time to chat, laugh and joke with each other as we downed our regular breakfast items. We dispersed hapoily, full of the warmth not only of the camaraderie of the nature-loving community, but also of the sun, which does not seem aware that this is winter in Bangalore!
Here are the things I have recorded:

December 20, 2023Entrance to Pench Tiger Reserve
Hathigota Camp, Pench Tiger Reserve, Maharashtra
Booked tickets on 12975 Mysore-Jodhpur Express (2nd a/c, cost around Rs.2650), W/L 8 till the date of departure (1310 hrs dep from City Station) got confirmed at 8am.
Return,booked on 12650 YPR (Yeshwantpur) Sampark Kranti Exp. W/L 5 till 1pm, so cancelled. Returned by New Diamond Bus from Nagpur to Hyderabad, overnight, cost Rs.1200 . Very difficult to get tickets. Guru managed with the help of a tout. He booked TSRTC (Telengana State Transport) double axle bus to Bangalore Majestic, very comfortable, cost Rs.1300
From Nagpur to Amaltas camp, shared taxi, 4 people with Ishita, Rs.900. From Amaltas Camp to Nagpur, shared taxi, cost Rs. 750 (4 people with Manjula Rao)
Taxi from Paradise stop to MGBS (Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station) Rs.65 (3 people)
No Airtel connectivity after Paoni. Only Jio works there, not even BSNL.
Got food poisoning, probably contaminated food at closing ceremony lunch (did not eat anything else). Suffered through the bus journeys as toilet stops are always an issue. Sick through the bus journeys back so no photos. Left my sweater on the bus. Got the TSTC website and got the driver’s number. Went back and found the cargo office, found the driver and the bus and got back the sweater!
Should book the train early as one registers for a survey. Can be cancelled later. Last minute waitlisted tickets cause problems.

Two anecdotes of bus travel, 17 and 181223
December 20, 2023- Nagpur to Hyderabad, Royal Diamond Bus Service, overnight, 171223.
The bad part about overnight bus travel is the toilet problem. There is no prior announcement about when or where the bus will stop for a break. If one is sleeping through the break (or has a berth too far back to hear the shout from the conductor) one misses the break. Then, if one is an elderly lady and HAS to go, one asks the driver to stop. At this, the driver helpfully shouts at the elderly lady, saying that she is going to delay him, using as angry a tone and as rude words as he can get away with. This has happened to me several times, making me detest overnight bus travel And the irony in this on the trip from Nagpur to Hyderabad…..The bus was supposed to leave at 10am, but the driver would not start the bus as there were some cancellations, and he waited until the bus was full, just like some mofussil bus…then had the gall to yell at me for delaying him by a few minutes. He said someone else had asked to stop the bus some time earlier. How was I responsible for that? The driver had to stop the bus anyway, he could not refuse (think of the immediate consequences….I had the loosies; I made it to the first night break, but was asleep during the second!) but he made it as unpleasant as he could, for me and himself. Such a stupid and idiotic attitude. I wonder why bus drivers and conductors are generally so rude.
- Hyderabad to Bangalore, Telengana State Transport Corporation bus (no. 1920. regn no, 027) Driver Venkatakrishna Reddy. Dep Hyd 11am (delayed), arr Blr 9.30pm (delayed)
I travelled from Hyderabad to Banglore by the Telengana State Transport Corporation bus. I alighted from the bus at 9.30pm, very sick and half asleep, and was halfway home when I realized I had left my sweater on the bus. I went to the TSTC website and found there was an option to get the drivers’ numbers. Since I knew the bus route (and the bus registation number too), I filled it in and got the driver’s number. From him I learnt two important things: the cleaners would just throw away anything they found on the bus (good lost-and-never-found policy). Also, the bus was leaving again for Hyderabad at 10.30pm. So I went back, called the driver again and located the cargo office. The bus was being loaded with parcels. Oh yes, I found my sweater, and returned home, sick but happy! So…if you ever leave anything behind on one of these buses…go at once to get it back!
K1…from 2016
December 19, 2023My 7-year-old grand-daughter (Oh, yes, this is a boast post) seems to have a turn for multilingual puns. When her father worked for long periods in the basement, she said, “Why call him Appa? We should call him Downpa!”. To her younger brother’s constantly saying “No”, her respsonse was, “We should call him Noah.” When they returned from Home Depot and saw me, she quipped, “That’s Home Deepa.” Right now, I am teaching her Hindi, preparing her for her schooling in India; when she wrote the alphabets, य र ल व , she added this English phrase underneath.
“Your a lover!” How’s that for a trans-lingual pun!
Deponti to the world
