Gobbling down the titbits and wetting them with tea, we were in our haunt, the deck.
Sunny morning. Well complimented with pleasant winds.
The travellers included empty milk-cans, cotton-full sacks, salt, plastic materials, clothes and machinery that smelled iron.
Came across a flock of Brahmini kites. Far away, two grey herons appeared as mere fragments.
The clock said, it was ten-thirty.
After two rounds of tea, it was time for lunch orders.
Chicken rice and veg thaali.
Though our mouths watered, our hearts shrunk, fearing bird flu!!!
The only other option was veg!!! A far safer one!!!
A team of four though, only three meals were ordered.
Meet Mala Bose. The lady ornithologist of the team! Her "feeding" was a different story, altogether!!!
She, of late, had habitually started finishing meals, off biscuits, fruits, cakes and pastries!!! Probably, not to revisit the "nightmare", that had once made her lean, skeletal mass look even paler!!!
