Beautiful and soothing. It's the attitude, attitude of sharing that makes all of us grow. Caring attitude for the pegeon babies grow, make us also grow. Thanks!

thanks for the comments..this was my experience in hostel days, around two decades ago.these have stood the test of time.The private "Inner" worlds we create are very important in shaping our reality. One should try to have a unision of the Inner and Outer..to achieve something higher.

dear prashant....thoroughly enjoyed your article...i have similar experiences and feelings...i live in canada on the 21st floor and i have a surprise of a pair of pigeons every year. i have named them....rasputin and cleopetra....then they lay eggs...they hatch and have babies...i have named them...raja and olga...to make the family multicultural,,,then they fly away and come back next year...may be my pigeons are related to your pigeons...and we are all related...children of mother earth...
sincerely sohail

and in the realms of our own 'selfish' world..weaved out of thoughts and quite private..untouched..virgin..
