Bangalore Palace The Majestic Bangalore Palace, reflecting Tudor and Scottish Gothic architecture holds testimony to the heritage and beauty of an era gone by. This regal palace was built in 1878 and spreads across 45,000 square feet. The carvings on the walls in the interior and exterior of the beautiful wooden structure showcase tales of the extraordinary royal culture. The opulent ballroom, mesmerizing Darbar hall, innumerable exotic paintings, and even the granite seats encrusted with blue ceramic tiles on the ground floor, and vine-covered walls, transport you to the elegant splendor of the powerful dynasties of South India. Audio tapes in Hindi and English are available to understand its history. 2. Bannerghatta National Park Located 22 km away from the city-centre, Bannerghatta National Park is an asylum for a large variety of flora and fauna.

I was bored, so I decided to copy this poem — one of my favourites — down in my notebook and make an attempt at a Tumblr poetry post.

আবার আসিব ফিরে − জীবানন্দ দাশ

আবার আসিব ফিরে ধানসিঁড়িটির তীরে − এই বাংলায় হয়তো মানুষ নয় − হয়তো বা শঙ্খচিল শালিকের বেশে; হয়তো ভোরের কাক হয়ে এই কার্তিকের নবান্নের দেশে কুয়াশার বুকে ভেসে একদিন আসিব এই কাঁঠাল-ছায়ায়; হয়তো বা হাঁস হব − কিশোরীর − ঘুঙুর রহিবে লাল পায়, সারা দিন কেটে যাবে কলমীর গন্ধ ভরা জলে ভেসে-ভেসে; আবার আসিব আমি বাংলার নদী মাঠ ক্ষেত ভালবেসে  জলাঙ্গীর ঢেউতে ভেজা বাংলার এ সবুজ করুণ ডাঙ্গায়; হয়তো দেখিবে চেয়ে সুদর্শন উড়িতেছে সন্ধ্যার বাতাসে; হয়তো শুনিবে এক লক্ষ্মীপেঁচা ডাকিতেছে শিমুলের ডালে; হয়তো খইয়ের ধান ছড়াতেছে শিশু এক উঠানের ঘাসে; রূপসার ঘোলা জলে হয়তো কিশোর এক শাদা ছেঁড়া পালে ডিঙা বায় − রাঙ্গা মেঘ সাঁতরায়ে অন্ধকারে আসিতেছে নীড়ে দেখিবে ধবল বক; আমারেই পাবে তুমি ইহাদের ভীড়ে − I Shall Return Anew — Jibananda Das (original title: Abar Ashibo Phire) I shall return anew, to the banks of the Dhansiri, in this Bengal Maybe not as a man — perhaps as a Brahminy kite, a myna; Or a crow of the dawn in these ripe fields of the autumn Floating on the heart of the fog, I shall come under the shade of a jackfruit tree; Maybe I will be a duck — a young girl’s pet — ankle-bells tinkling on her reddened feet, My whole day shall pass floating on waters with the aroma of duckweed; I shall return, smitten by Bengal’s rivers, fields, crops To this green, benevolent land of Bengal, on the shores of which lap the waves of the Jalangi river; Perhaps you will regard buzzards soaring in the evening air; Perhaps you will hear a spotted owl calling from a branch of a red-cotton tree; Perhaps a child is scattering puffed rice on the grass in a courtyard; On the Rupsa’s grimy waters, perhaps, a youth, with a torn white sail Steers his dinghy — red clouds streak by, and in the darkness, swimming to their nests You will see white herons; amidst their crowd will you find me.

Brahminy starling (Brahminy myna) Sturnia pagodarum

[auzhahm]

       கருங்கொண்டை நாகணவாய் |  BRAHMINY STARLING

                 Brahminy starling resident breeder in Nepal and India , a winter visitor to Sri lanka and a summer visitor in parts of the western and northeastern Himalayas. They are spotted in the plains of Pakistan as well. The Brahminy Mynah builds a nest in hole.  The breeding season is March to September but varies with location, being earlier in southern India. The season coincides with the fruiting of many plants and the young hatch just as the rains begin. The normal clutch is 3-4 eggs.  They roost communally in large numbers in leafy trees, often in the company of parakeets and other mynas. Like most starlings, the Brahminy Starling is fairly omnivorous, eating fruit and insects. They have a wide repertoire of calls and are also given to mimicking other species.

The Brahminy Starling is locally common. It may expand in the northern part of the range. The species is not currently threatened and  classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category.
