    • I’m glad they have returned. All of those things you mentioned in your post have a drastic effect on our ecosystem. But the good thing is the birds adapted and came back. What can I say? Home is home. 🙂

      • Agree with what you say. Home is home for all living being so too for the common Indian sparrow. Many environmentalists were seriously whether this same trend will continue with other birds found in the cities. But luckily it seemed to have had a minimal effect on other species of birds commonly found in cities.

        Now advertisements are being played on television regularly to provide the water and food to such birds. So that they feel a welcome guest in the concrete human conglomerations. Thanks for the inputs.

        • Thanks for responding back to me. The sparrow has a special place in my heart because my mother’s favorite spiritual hymn is called “His Eye is on the Sparrow”. It’s a song about how a kind and loving God watches over all of us from the tiny sparrow to everyone, including you and me. 🙂

    • I didn’t know that it is called an Indian sparrow because it is very common here and so many of them even inside churches, in the domes. We call it “maya” here in the Philippines.

      I am glad they returned to your country.

      • These common Indian sparrows or Maya as it is called in the Philippines. Were once so many that one could literally find their incessant chirping in the mornings and the evenings. Their used to be hundreds flying together in the evenings and in the early mornings later they used to spread out for food and build nests even there they used to stay in communities of around six to twelve of them. It was quite entertaining to view their activities.

        Here it is called by ornithologists as the Indian Sparrow or the Indian House Sparrow. It was one of the first ones to be given a scientific name. The genus name Fringilla is also used for this bird. They are also known as true sparrows or old world sparrows. These are small passerine birds. They are generally adaptive to new areas and spread to long distances easily. While feeding themselves on the way at different stops. Thanks for sharing inputs about this bird.

    Krishna Kumar wrote a new post, Problems Faced By Law Enforcement Agencies In India 7 years, 8 months ago

    Credit image share to livelaw.in Fundamental-Rights-of-Police.jpg

    Law enforcement is an important arm of a secure democracy. There are different wings of law enforcement like the Traffic police, Cyber crime, […]

    • Actually the problems you describe are not so unique. They are common to law enforcement personnel all around the world. What our law enforcement agencies NEED … no matter what country they are … is a supportive community. People who respect them and will turn to them if they have to face off with a criminal element in the community. Of course, if they don’t build that trust relationship and truly serve and protect the people, then their job is REALLY HARD!! I mean … it’s one thing when people have to defend themselves against criminals. But when they have to defend themselves against criminals and corrupt police … you leave them no choice but to do what they have to do just to survive!

      • Appreciate your point of view. As I too mentioned in the article these problems are faced by law enforcement agencies in different parts of the world. But here in India the density of population is very high and the number of police there to take care at a normal time is generally less. It is a thankless job that they perform and the sad part is that for a few rotten apples which are their in the system the whole police force gets a bad name. I find this unfortunate. Their work timings, the hours they have to spend standing in the hot sun, having a tight schedule with not time for personal work like lunch and such things take a toll on their health. They are also having community trust building relationships and sensitization programs on various issues. The government is extending reforms which work in the benefit of this force. This process needs to be made more faster.

        Obviously no one is hundred percent perfect but I appreciate the good people in the force who are the ones who keep up the image and make ordinary folk approach them in case of problems of any kind. In many cases they have even conducted the marriages of children who are elders and wanted to marry against their parents wishes and counselled all the members of the family to accept the marriage. The play role a good role of settling problems through dialogue too. Thanks for the input.

        • I totally respect law enforcement people as I also respect those who serve in our military. Don’t know about the news reports in India, but in the United States, the relationship between the police and the citizens in the African-American community has spawned a “Black Lives Matter” movement. It’s a shame really. Because you know that if need be, you will call the police before you call your neighbor if you sense danger. Yet one bad cop or one inexperienced cop who makes a mistake and everybody is in an uproar. I say: “There are way more good police than there are bad police and they have a hard job. Support them!!” That’s what I say!

    There are many important aspects which have been  highlighted in Hinduism but the same have been forgotten by many. Here is an opportunity to […]

    • Thanks for sharing the colorful “gems”of Hinduism. I am naive on this religion; just a little knowledge about it from our lessons in Asian civilization. I admire the way people in your country or those in other countries in observing Hinduism. It looks like they have a deep sense of religiosity when you see them praying in temples, or in their places of worship.

      • Appreciate you liking the article and the information it tried to convey. To be fair even I am as naive as you. This rush for getting a job, earning a livelihood coupled with other issues have not allowed me to express myself on this religious aspect of Hinduism. Now as I am writing articles I am also trying to dig in the details which even I would like to know and share with readers who are interested in knowing more about this religion and the society and how things are as of date.

        Just to share a information with you. If one has to learn Vedas in a Vedic school which will be in sanskrit language it will take around eight to 12 years approximately depending on the individuals IQ for each Veda to be studied. So multiply it by four it takes one life time to learn and imbibe what is learnt. What I know is not even a small drop of water in the ocean. People here in our country and even in other countries where they are settled and working are very religious minded. Thanks for the feedback.

    • What sites according to you are trustful to write articles for?

      • As of this minute; this site, Mylot and possibly, Niume… although I was paid once from Niume I am not yet fully convinced

    • This is so true, I have tried many sites in the past some have been great some have been awful. I gave up on writing online for a while but am trying some new sites out now. This being one of them.

      • This site is pretty good. But let me warn you. if you write factual pieces the A.I. might flag you for plagiarism. For example, if you write; “Cyclone Debbie caused major damage, torrential rain and power cuts to tens of thousands of homes”. Your item will be flagged because that is how the BBC describes it.

    • Very well said, and it is true as we online writers had experienced. I am glad Literacybase and myLot are included in your list of trusted sites.

    • Thanks for the info. I am on two writing sites only and more active in LB. I guess it’s because I am new and yet to get paid. I have been off LB for days now, due to work. I have been so busy in the office lately, once I get home, I’m tired.

    • Tried many sites and many were fake, but still have faith

    • Have you ever enter short story writing comptions?
      like what writer digest has

      • I entered one at webooks which deteriorated into a zoo… because crapwriter got the most votes because he had duals and friends.
