#4 — off the hook.

trigger warnings: none

"And if you need anything at all," says Solkansa in her gentlest voice, taking great care to ensure her daughter's bandaged palm is not disturbed as she tucks her in. "I'll only be downstairs, yes?"

"I know, Mama." Eifablyss snuggles deep beneath the sheets as well as she can without hurting herself. "I'll be fine, though. I promise."

Solkansa leans down, kissing her forehead. "I love you. Sleep sweet."

"I love you too. G'night, Mama."

Solkansa does not leave until she's certain her little shade has indeed fallen into deep slumber, when she finally descends the steps as quiet as she can manage. When she reaches the bottom, all pretense promptly drops—she strides over to where Zenos sits and slaps him squarely across his cheek.

"What the fuck were you thinking, telling her about your palm?"

Zenos is nonplussed, rubbing where he was struck almost thoughtfully. Coincidentally, with the very hand in question. "I did no such thing. She came to that conclusion all on her own."

"She—," Solkansa looks in disbelief up to the loft, where their daughter softly sleeps. "You're joking."

"I am not." He rises to match her in height. Arguments are seldom, but when they happen, there are always on even ground. "She met your friend with the crystal atop his staff, saw my scar, and knows our kind is incapable of manipulating aether." He, too, turns to face the loft. "She merely put two and two together."

They sit in silence for a few humid moments, the nighttime Thavnairian jungle singing its lullabies.

"And she defeated me for the first time."

"She could have died."

"It was a calculated risk." Zenos dares to wrap and arm around Solkansa's shoulders, but it's a motion to which she does not object. "Just as it was when I was her age. She's cleverer than you give her credit for."

Something heavy and dark sinks its talons into Solkansa's shoulders—the inescapable hand of change. The cycle's wheel turns and turns. She thinks of the hand dealt her own parents, and the hand dealt to Zenos'.

Fate has not yet run its course. But it will.

"Myna," says Solkansa, voice distant. "Do you suppose she'll end up stronger than us?"

"Oh, she will." The confidence and pride in his voice is palpable. "There is no other way for her to be, with us as her progenitors."

Blood on their hands. Blood on their daughter's.

"Indeed," she murmurs, pulling Zenos into an embrace that swallows them whole.

Lokhandwala lake

IIT Powai Campus

Here are few photos from the bird race clicked by my good friend, JN.

How did I capture a TIME LAPSE of the Sunset at Powai Lake?

There was a small mound of mud over which a branch of tree had fallen. I balanced my mobile properly for the entire duration of the setting sequence. My friend's son, SSN and other people walking in front of the mobile were politely asked to walk carefully from behind the mobile and over the branch. They complied and even thanked me for offering them the unnecessary hand over the small branch, on which I had balanced my mobile really well. All went well and then when I went to show my group, the result of my endevour, I realised I had not pressed the start button to click the mobile camera. Our hosts, the organizers of the India Bird Races, Mr. Ravi & Mr. Sunjoy as usual were gracious and kind and conducted bird quizzes with panache, that kept everyone on the edge to win prizes and gain knowledge.

You can check the earlier editions of the India Bird Races below:

2023 Mumbai Bird Race - 53 species seen.

2022 Mumbai Bird Race - 50 species seen.

2019 Mumbai Bird Race - 63 species seen.

2015 Mumbai Bird Race - 90 species seen.

The pan flavoured chocolate in this gift box was something new. I look forward to many more bird races and abundance of birds in and around Mumbai.

Seven Tourist Places In Bangalore Worth Visiting

Bengaluru (also called Bangalore), India’s Silicon Valley, is the capital of Karnataka and is known for its parks and nightlife. If you are visiting Bangalore on business, extend your stay and if you are an expatriate, having recently moved to this city, mark your diary with the following tourist places in and near Bangalore that are a must-visit. 1. 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. Sprawling over 104.27 sq. km, this park includes the country's first butterfly park, an aquarium, a zoo, Children's Park, Crocodile Farm, Snake Park, Prehistoric Animals' Park, and a museum. You can spot elephants, leopards, jackals, foxes, wild boar, sloth bears, Indian gazelle, spotted deer, porcupine, cobras, Asiatic Lion and the Royal Bengal Tiger while doing the safari. There are several resorts in Bangalore, but if you are staying at the amazing Discovery Village, be assured that they will organize your local tours, bird watching, nature trails, and jungle safaris. 3. Lal Bagh Botanical Garden Renowned for its botanical artwork, this garden is a haven for nature lovers and a must-visit for all tourists. Lal Bagh sprawls across 240 acres in the heart of the city and has nearly 1,854 species of plants including rare species of French, Persian and Afghani origin. The Lal Bagh Rock which is over 3000 million years old is found here and is a major tourist attraction. The garden also houses a number of birds such as Myna, Parakeets, Crows, Brahminy Kite, Pond Heron, Common Egret and Purple Moor Hen. Source: Goibibo 4. Cubbon Park Cubbon Park is 300 acres of dense green bliss, housing more than 6,000 trees and an ideal place for nature lovers and picnickers. In addition to being the perfect place to veg out, you can also visit some of the major structures of the city such as the Attara Kacheri, Cubbon Park Museum, Sheshadri Iyer Memorial Park, and the Bangalore Aquarium, the second-largest aquarium in India here. Source: kerosene.digital 5. Vidhana Soudha Described by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru as 'a temple dedicated to the nation', Vidhana Soudha stands 150 feet tall and boasts of an elegant and truly exquisite Neo-Dravidian style of architecture. It houses the State Legislature and the Secretariat of Karnataka and is one of the most popular attractions in the lively and colorful city of Bengaluru. It prides itself on being the largest state legislative building in the country sporting four entrances in all four directions and four floors above the ground level and one below it. It is counted as one of the most magnificent buildings in the city impressing and intimidating the beholder. 6. ISKCON Temple Located in Rajajinagar, ISKCON Temple is a revered shrine dedicated to Lord Krishna. Apart from a religious shrine, ISKCON temple is a cultural complex known for its activities of engagement involving ardent devotees of Lord Krishna, where the temple community organizes songs, recitals, lectures and prayer services. A must visit for the spiritually initiated. Source: Goibibo 7. MG Road One of the busiest roads in Bengaluru, MG Road is always abuzz with recreational and commercial activities and is a one-stop destination for shopping or hanging out. Whether you’re looking for traditional handicrafts, silk saris, cutlery, bone china sets, jewelry, clothes, or books, you can find it all here. Church Street which runs parallel to this road is a foodie’s paradise, with a plethora of restaurants and cafes offering varied cuisines. MG Road is a must-visit when you're in the city, where you can shop by day and party by night, dancing till you drop in any of the high-end pubs in and around this street.

When I observes the myna birds call I realized it puts a lot of effort into making the call. One can see the effort from the movement of its body. Myna calls have a wide range from croaks, squawks, chirps, whistles and my favorite one, the growls. Birds make these complex sounds by passing air through a structure called the syrinx, which is the equivalent of the human larynx (voice box). . . .

August 27, 2019 - Jungle Myna (Acridotheres fuscus)

These mynas are found in open forests, cultivated fields, and in areas near water in parts of South and Southeast Asia. They feed on insects, including grasshoppers, crickets, and termites, as well as fruit, seeds, and nectar, foraging mostly on the ground. Breeding between January and July, depending on the area of their range, monogamous pairs nest in tree cavities. Both parents incubate the eggs and feed the chicks.

हिन्दी दिवस (Hindi Day)

Sep 14, 2021

हिन्दी दिवस (Hindī Day) is celebrated every year on 14 September, marking the declaration of the Hindi language as one of the official languages of Union Government of India. On 14 September 1949, Hindi was adopted as one of the official languages of India.

11 Interesting facts about Hindi: 1. While September 14 is celebrated as हिन्दी दिवस (National Hindi Day) in India, January 10 is celebrated as विश्व हिंदी दिवस or World Hindi Day every year, with an aim to promote the use of the Hindi language worldwide! 2. On January 10, 1975, the First World Hindi Conference was held in Nagpur, Maharashtra. In 2006, January 10 was declared as विश्व हिंदी दिवस (World Hindi Day)!

3. Hindi got its name from the persian word 'Hind' meaning "land of the Indus River" 4. Hindi is taught as a subject in 176 universities around the world, including 45 American universities! 5. Hindi nouns have genders, unlike the English language. Be it either masculine or feminine, verbs and adjectives change as per gender.

6. Unlike English, Hindi is completely Phonetic! In Hindi, every word is spelt EXACTLY the way it's pronounced! There are no silent letters or weird pronunciations alien to their spellings 👏🏽👏🏽 This is why Hindi is far more scientific, logical n superior than English!👍🏾👍🏾 7. The English language has borrowed many, many words from Hindi, such as,-Aadhaar, Atoll, Avatar, Bandana, Bangle, Bhelpuri, Blighty, Bungalow, Calico, Cashmere, Catamaran, Cheetah, Cheroot, Chintz, Chit, Choky, Churidar, Chutney, Coir, Cot, Cowrie, Cummerbund, Cushy, Curry, Dal, Dinghy, Dharma, Doolally, Dungarees, Godown, Gymkhana, Gunny, Guru, Jodhpurs, Jungle, Jute, Karma, Khaki, Kedgeree, Lacquer, Langur, Lilac, Loot, Mandarin, Mantra, Mogul, Mongoose, Mulligatawny, Myna, Nirvana, Palanquin, Pashmina, Patchouli, Polo, Pukka, Punch, Pundit, Purdah, Pyjamas, Raita, Roti, Sharbat, Shawl, Shampoo, Tank, Teak, Tiffin, Thug, Veranda, Yaar, Yoga, Swadeshi, Swami n Surya Namaskar🙏🏽 etc. 8.

Hindi-speaking countries include, the US, England, Fiji, Mauritius, Guyana, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, South Africa, Yemen, Uganda, Singapore, Pakistan, Nepal and New Zealand 10. The world’s first Hindi typewriters were made in the 1930s 11. To capture the subtle variations in pronunciations, the Hindi language has 50 alphabets comprising of 13 vowels n 37 consonants. That's nearly twice as many as in English which has a mere 26 alphabets comprising of 5 vowels n 21 consonants!

हिन्दी वर्णमाला (Hindi Alphabets) = 50 13 Vowels अ, आ, इ, ई, उ, ऊ, ऋ ए, ऐ, ओ, औ, अं, अ: 37 Consonants क, ख, ग, घ, ङ च, छ, ज, झ, ञ ट, ठ, ड, ढ, ण त, थ, द, ध, न प, फ, ब, भ, म य, र, ल, व श, स, ष, ह क्ष, त्र, ज्ञ, श्र
