It may sound surprising but my morning wakeup call is not by an alarm clock, but harsh and loud lullaby of crows. They love to play on my AC and hate me if I sleep late. They would just sit up outside my window on AC and refuse to shut up. Scientist say that crows are very intelligent and one of the most sociable bird around. Probably they want us to become their friends.
Saturday morning, I asked Anand to tie a new rope outside the window for hanging the clothes. He said he will do it. So I proceeded in kitchen to prepare breakfast. Suddenly, I hear a fearful voice of him, asking me to get a stick. Being very puzzled, I rushed to bedroom, only to find hubby fighting for his survival with the crows. And man, there were 4 of them and my hubby was fighting single handedly. I was so curious as to why did they attacked him since they were always friendly with me. Probably, they shared views with me and didn’t like his unshaven face. So, I asked him to please go and clear the unwanted hair on his face, and become friends with our new housemates. I got some strange looks from both hubby and the crow. Hubby told me that the crow has given eggs near the next room windows.
Oopss…now my brain ran the whole story in flashback reminding me that how and when this whole love did began. So now we have a whole crow family sharing our window. Not only that, this family was in left side window. And to the right, there was another family; it was our neighbor’s window. Then, began the sword fight between the crows and hubby. He was attacked by beak and claws of the bird. And in return he said “shoo shoo” and I banged my broomstick on the glass pane. Finally after around half an hour Anand came out with flying colors, he completed his task. He stood like a superman holding a broomstick in hand and possessed some scratches, which spoke the saga.
For next 7-8 hours, I could hear my hubby trying to get win cacophony contest with them. To remind you, Anand is a very good competitor with crow. He has always been famous among the friends for his beautiful god-gifted voice. I have always praised it and told him not to sing publicly else Indian Idol people might get hold of him. And then he might have to stay away from me for 5-6 months until he wins the competition (Only if the judge is Himesh Reshamiya). I have also warned him not to sing at home as well since I do not want all our neighbors to stand outside the home, banging our door.
I am just praying to God, that babies are born soon, so that my ear can relax. Below are the pics of the nest.
Okay so the story goes like this...Yours truly is a little clumsy and that too when she is carrying a jhola, which has no separate pockets. You have to get hold of 10-15 things before you could even get a glance of the wanted item.
This weekend we were in full enthu to complete our to-do weekend list, which was pending since long. Finally by afternoon we were sitting in CCD with almost all things done. Now, since we had done so much labor we needed a break, so thought of watching Bhootnath. As we sat down in the hall, I opened my jhola in search to find a toffee. You see, my purse contains everything. So the larger it is, the more things it would have. And in the midst of finding toffee, realized my cell was not there. Meanwhile all lights were off.We both took out every single thing from purse. We found bank forms, long lost bills, my watch (which was to be repaired from past 5 months), case of my goggles, etc etc.. But cell was not there. Now my cell is very precious to me. First of all, it is N-73 music edition, quite costly and secondly, it was my wedding gift from Andy.
We both decided to rush back to CCD, for it was the last place it was seen. But, it wasn’t there. Then went to the shop where I had bought a teddy bear and accessories, which weren’t needed, but it was buy 2 get one free. Meanwhile, Andy kept ringing on the cell from the landline of the shop. Andy’s cell was in car, so I rushed to get it back.
On the way while returning, I tried to call on my cell. And, I was aghast..the cell was switched off. I was almost crying when I reached back to Anand. He had made announcement in the shop for if anybody has the cell please return it and he will be rewarded. We knew we can’t find it now. I kept cursing myself and my purse all the while. Anand got the sim locked to prevent further calls from it. He kept cheering me and asked to go back to movie and relax. We returned back to our seat. A couple was sitting next to us; Andy asked him if he has seen our cell. And lo…it was in his pocket. He said it was lying under our seat and since the ring was loud, he switched it off. Man..I didn’t know whether to thank him for the cell or to scold him for not picking up the call. Finally, my dearest darling was with me back again in my Jhola..
So what happened was that during national anthem, when I got up from my seat, my jhola fell off and that time the cell slipped. But all this definitely added up in my hubby’s list of jokes on me. And by the way the movie was good and memorable for me.
