Birdwatching

Today, we went out birdwatching, and contrary to my expectations, it was quite fun. (No, you crooked mind, we went out to watch some real birds.) Of course, I made my displeasure at not being able to see my favourite bird (tandoori chicken) rather apparent, much to the consternation of my companions.

The trip was organized by some seniors from XLANC (XLRI Adventure and Nature Club) and those folks were pretty knowledgeable about the birds. We managed to spot around 15 varieties of birds, a snail or two, some tee some rather large earthworms (ugh!!!) and lots of greenery.

I've been lucky enough to live in two of the most planned cities in India - Jamshedpur and Chandigarh, and simply love both of them. Even though they have somewhat contrasting cultures and lifestyles, the greenery and cleanliness is just awesome. Given a choice, I'd pick Chandigarh any day, for it's climate and nightlife (yeah, right), but the idea isn't really to make comparisons at all.

Now that I've wasted away the last two days, sleeping and roaming around, I'm trying to console myself by saying that sleep and relaxation are vital, and one can't really study with a burdened, exhausted mind. I'm right, ain't I? :D
