In my early morning walk saw a koel feeding off a slice of pressure cooked rice placed on a compound wall of an independent and dilapidated house whilst a old woman sat reading the paper in the front porch .
The garden is left untended and the house is badly in need or repair and coat of paint .Obviously the elderly couple do not have the money and i often wondered at their reluctance and disinclination to sell off this property situated,plum in a prime location , which would fetch them crores of rupees and a comfortable old age.
I got the answer.Koels never show their face .Nor do they feed on food offered by humans unlike crows and pigeons,but they were doing it here.A rarity.
The sudden burst of koels songs have always lifted my heart , solved dilemmas,with the conviction [in my very lonely life] that it is a message from beyond.
Now i can understand that old couples reluctance for material gain .
