Tid-bits


The northern side of my courtyard is a wall of a garage for the third (top) apartment. This Currawong is a regular client. The gutter is overhung by a large tree of some sort which drops berries and leaves by the bucket load. The get trapped in the gutter. The Currawong knows that beneath the litter is a rich moist compost which breeds worms. He madly digs the litter out, tossing it over the edge, and digs out the worms. It sends Sellie bananas! I caught her the other day chasing him half-way up a tree.

Why is it blurred? It was maybe 4pm but still tons of light. I think I must have jumped each time he made the quick tossing action.

A Tribute to Theatre
The Murugan Theatre. It is one of the theatres in Thiruthangal, a small town near the famous industrial town of Sivakasi in Tamil Nadu. The small town had three theatres in those days (1980s). Chinnaknai Theatre was in the northern corner of the town and Balaji Talkies was at the other end, in the southern corner
