Thankfully yours

Now the Summer is in full spree.

The Sun Lord scorches every specie beneath Him.

When strong souls, viz., the humanity  can weather, withstand and try its best to live up to ever soaring Global warming, what will poor souls like animals and birds do?

Especially when H2O is drying up?!

We keep getting endless social media, whatsapp advice that we need to keep a bowl of water on our balcony, so that winged creatures fly down and quench their thirst.

In India, sure you would have heard those days our grandmothers not only did keep a bowl of water but offered a little food, grains also.

I can vividly recall. My grandmother never started her day without first offering a little food to crows. 

The person offering food is blessed soul.

About a year ago, there was a shooting incident in US.  An Indian techie became victim to the bullets.  Later in an interview, his wife, from Andhra, said her spouse would love visiting friends and relatives.  He loved relishing good food.  Whenever his friends or relatives invited him for dinner and he enjoyed the food, never did he fail to profusely pray for the well being of the host.  He never failed to utter this slogan in praise of the host, "Anna dada sugino bhavandu".  When translated, it read may the host live well and with all comforts.

Such would be the blessings may be the birds sing in gratitude to the host.
