A little bit of context before you begin reading this book review. I have recently enrolled for an MA in Philosophy at the University of Mumbai. Philosophy is something I have been getting interested in, over the past few years, as those of you who have been reading my blogs and Instagram posts would know. During the pandemic, I thought long and hard about what I wanted to do next, and this is what I eventually came up with. It has been a challenge, getting back into academics as a student at this age, especially in a subject I have no academic background in. However, it has also been very exciting, especially thanks to my wonderful classmates (who, surprisingly, are of all age-groups, including some quite near my own) and my teachers, who have been very supportive and understanding. How well I will do is something that remains to be seen, but so far, I am enjoying this new journey and look forward to where it leads. Now that you know the background , you probably get an idea of how
Walking around
the Club Mahindra Cherai Beach Resort, I noticed a flash of feathers as a bird
rose out of the water and flew to a tree. Curious, I waited till the bird
returned, and I realized that it wasn’t wading in the water as I had thought,
but stood at the edge of the water, on the boundary wall….
Even as I watched,
it stretched out its neck, and pecked off something from the surface, and flew
back to its perch, to eat in peace!
I was so
fascinated by the sight, that I stood there for quite a while, watching the
Little Green Heron catch its breakfast!
I spotted
it again, later in the evening, this time perched on one of the Chinese Fishing
Nets.
The Little
Green Heron is apparently quite a common bird, seen frequently in these parts. For
me, however, this was a first time sighting, one I thoroughly enjoyed!
Great example of photography. Loved each one pics. Thanks for sharing this.
