Crows - sound harmless to most people but I believe I share a special connection with them - a not so very cordial one at that...
It possibly was manifested first when I was in high school when during one of my early morning vigorous cycling exercises to school a crow decided it was good to poke its feet into my hair and shake it a bit ..... Needless to say was half glad crows couldn't get inspired from movies (refer The Omen I)..
With the years it has only progressed..
I believe they take special pleasure in teasing me.. Be it trying to fertilize my head with their heavenly droppings (as I headed to work as a summer intern!) or regularly swishing past just to see if I can duck in time or waiting in groups in the narrow bridge railing near office just enjoying the mixture of displeasure and fear on my face as I try to pass them quickly in the most unobtrusive manner..
There were two more crows ( regulars that is ) at my window when I moved to the new place... Ready to wake me up at 7 any day of the week with their continuous high pitched crowing .... Dropping in at different times during the weekend and crowing away to glory especially during my Sunday siesta... They have now given me a miss after my regular shooing and booing ... The neighbors have had quite some fun seeing me boo them even if the crows sat on the cable wire around 2 feet away from the window.... Rains were the only time I relented from the shooing exercise due to pity for the drenched famished looking crows :)...
In Hinduism there are references made to crows being representatives of our ancestors... Given my not so cordial relationship think there are some ancestors who are not so happy with me providing for some food for thought... However thankfully the last 2 months I haven't had much interaction and that must as a corollary mean I must have done something good ...

I had a huge problem with crows. everytime I stepped into my balcony, they'd make a hell of a noise. like I was some kind of a danger to them or something. so I started feeding them daily. Now they seem to have made piece with me.
Kya yaar? koi aur topic nahi mila kya? Kauve pe kahani likh di. LOL. Bechare kauve ek to tujhe time pe subah uthane aaya karte the aur sunday ki laziness se tujhe bahar nikalne ki koshish karte the. Sahi baat hai aajkal bhalai karne ka zamana hi nahi raha. :-))))
hey.. jus happened to read ur blog through an update on my Orkut profile :).Welcome to the world of blogging, you have started pretty recently i thnk..have never managed to be regular at updating my blog although it gives me great joy.
hey ur piece on the crow reminds me about something unusual myself. I have had a history with the tails of buffaloes and cows, their wild swishes always seem to strike me perfectly when I walk past one of them. :-)
