I wept for a second.............

I was worried when I looked on the branch of the accacia tree planted infront of our home,where our little loving sparrows lived. When they come our home, they brings joys to our home. Before a week they laid eggs, but this week when I saw the plant during my return to home from coimbatore, my heart broken for a moment. I ran into my home and asked my mother "who has broken their nest?", mother replied "yesterday grandpa also asked the same and he became gloomy..I was not here yesterday, somebody from outside would have broken it.."...I repeated the same question to my sisters also...but got the same reply. Sister's daugters also depressed due to this misfortune. Yes It is a disaster to us, we loved that sparrows, they loved us also. My mother told me that, the sparrows came to kitchen many times after the incident, and knocked the door many times. They know that we never do that. We loved them, they come every year to put eggs and grow their children. When they come to our home, they bring joys. Last year they came with honeybees, and they nested together in the same little tree, that month my second sister got married. We have arranged a reception in our home without any disturbance to that two families. Their arrival is a message to us, that joys and happiness and good news is following them.


But, somebody had destroyed their sweet home this week. I started to weep when my mother told me that she saw the distroyed eggs on the ground. My sister's daughters also came to my lap and told the same incident, they also loved to see them with their kids in the nest. Eventhough, the sparrows came to the same tree and sounded. They may be trying to tell me their story.

Truly, I can say that, we will be frustrated when we lose or when we feel that our loved ones are going away from us. It is the wire-free connection between two hearts. We hope that they will nest there again not in this year.

I have been covered with kids when I went to my mother's home to attend the Iftar Party. Kids are my weakness, I love them most in the world. They know that I would not bring any sweet, but a sweet pinch. But this time, all my kids joined and started to pinch me by making thunderous sounds. Grand father shouted to stop the sounds because it may disturb them from hearing 'Adan'(calling to prayer from Mosque), It was the time to end the fasting...I enjoyed their pinch and they rounded me by throwing a number of question regarding what they have seen all the days. I started to sing a song, but they shouted to stop(they know that I cant sing)..It was a wonderful time with them.
