.....there are  too  many  Birds  around ....the  abode  navigation at  the  junction  of  two  narrow  lanes , with choc a bloc  residences, balconies adorned  with  flower  pots with  busy  bee  doing  the  rounds , no  wonder  there  will  be  birds  as the  Giant fig tree got  decapitated  recently  on account  of FIFA world  cup  Qatar 22, to accomodate  a  screen , now though  over  the  mnths  post  the  enthralling  final , disdainfully  growing  at  breakneck  speed , foliage  growing  rapidly , just  as  the  Phoenix  rising  from  its  ashes  .....the hitherto  displaced birds,   now  on  cloud  nine  reclaiming  their  lost  places....the  incessant  chirping in  an  otherwise , mechanised  upcoming  city , with  decibel levels of  a  myriad  of  machineries to  keep  it  going  ....the  Birds  the  Bees now  working  overtime  to regain  lost  place  ....hence  the  Cacophony ... the  living  with  the  Machines  .....
