It has been raining dust
in Delhi ... over last
two days ... with temp. in
forties deg C ...
_________________
The civilized society
usurped his feeding
and nesting area
... the fabulous
Basai wetland ...
... and converted a small
part of it into more
'social and economic'
fish farm ...
Not only that ... they
erected a boundary
of deadly nylon wires ...
... killing many
birds every day ... to
protect their product ...
Through all this
quagmire ... this
brave one picked up
a fish ... survived the
killer fence ... flew
out ... and sat
in a safer part of
the area ...
Watch him holding on
to it ... in a small video-clip
