Most of us tend to wake up to the sudden invasion of ear splitting noise from our alarm clocks; more often than not also simultaneously getting our blood pressures shooting up through the roof.
Not so long ago; I had to travel to a very noisy city; Hyderabad (India) on work for a few days and was dreading the prospect of sleeping to the noise of traffic and oh yeah!! Loud people. I was actually very pleasantly surprised at the sounds that woke me up every morning. The song birds would begin their concert promptly at 0530 in the morning (pretty unearthly time for most people but then I've always been an early morning person!). The prinias, Sunbirds, doves and bulbuls singing made for such a pleasant contrast to the usual morning alarm that I actually started to waken much earlier just to hear the birds sing. Oh yeah! this early and pleasant start meant that the rest of the day was mostly pleasant too. Here are some of my feathered friends. Looking forward to renewing my acquaintances soon.
