Prarabdhha ( destiny) and Karma (action)

I strongly believe in the philosophy of prarabdhha and karma. As you sow , so you reap.good deeds give good fruits, bad deeds give bad fruits and nothing leads to nothing There's nothing as FREE LUNCH in this universe.I believe that a sincere, honest and hardworking  working woman is an  epitome of selfless soul, as she is not dependent on anybody for her survival, she is empowered and free, yet  she serves her husband, children, in-laws and tends to household chores in addition to managing her job as efficiently , if not  better than her male counterpart.People play games and feel that they they have fooled the other person. But believe me this is very short-lived. Honesty, sincerety and integrity  leaves a lasting impression. And this alone gives one the inner satisfaction. This feeling of  joy  cannot be replaced by any amount of artificial or manipulative action.It takes one whole life to please the in-laws side, sometimes this is even less. But one has to strive hard and honestly do ones duty. In due course, you are rewarded, you are accepted. The blessings of the in-laws is as important for her family to prosper as her own self being acknowledged by them. The life of a woman is very demanding. This world hardly realizes this fact. Once you have been acknowledged , that sense of fulfillment is very difficult to express. Till then your own life has come to full circle and then you realize what a tremendous achievement you have made. You have made the life of so many people easy.A working woman for me is thus a super heroine !!!!!!!!! and an indian woman at that.

the Bulbul bird

Scientific name: Andropadus

Higher classification: Bulbul

Rank: Genus

Lower classifications: Sombre Greenbul, Ansorge's Greenbul, Plain Greenbul, Slender-billed Greenbul, Grey Greenbul, Yellow-whiskered Greenbul, Shelley's Greenbul, Stripe-cheeked Greenbul, Cameroon Greenbul, Grey-throated Greenbul, Mountain Greenbul, Little GreenbulMore

The Red-vented Bulbul is easily identified by its short crest giving the head a squarish appearance. The body is dark brown with a scaly pattern while the head is darker or black. The rump is white while the vent is red. The black tail is tipped in white. The Himalayan races have a more prominent crest and are more streaked on the underside. The Race intermedius of the Western Himalayas has a black hood extending to the mid-breast. Population bengalensis of Central and Eastern Himalayas and the Gangetic plain has a dark hood, lacks the scale like pattern on the underside and instead has dark streaks on the paler lower belly. Race stanfordi of the South Assam hills is similar to intermedius. The desert race humayuni has a paler brown mantle. The nominate race cafer is found in Peninsular India. Northeast Indian race wetmorei is between cafer, humayuni and bengalensis. about 20 cm in length, with a long tail. Sri Lankan race haemorrhous (=haemorrhousus^[6]) has a dark mantle with narrow pale edges. Race humayuni is known to hybridize with Pycnonotus leucogenys and these hybrids were once described as a subspecies magrathi marked by their pale rumps and yellow-orange or pink vents.^[9] In eastern Myanmar there is some natural hybridization with Pycnonotus aurigaster.

Sexes are similar in plumage, but young birds are duller than adults.^[5] The typical call has been transcribed as ginger beer but a number of sharp single note calls likened as pick are also produced. Their alarm calls are usually responded to and heeded by many other species of bird.

Red-whiskered Bulbul

Habitat: 

Bulbuls are common in urban areas, where they inhabit parks, gardens and along creeks.

What does it do?

Feeding: 

Red-whiskered Bulbuls feed on a variety of native and introduced fruits, insects and flower buds. Groups of up to 50 or so birds may gather around a food source, although smaller groups of three to five birds are more common. Birds chatter noisily as they actively feed among the dense bushes.

Breeding: 

Red-whiskered Bulbuls build an open cup nest of rootlets, bark and leaves, lined with soft fibre. The nest is usually placed in a low tree fork. Two or three broods may be reared in a season. Both birds incubate the eggs and care for the young birds. The eggs are pale pink, streaked and spotted with shades of red.
