Writing your thoughts is really fun. It really helps to put down your chaos on the medium.

Whether its paper or NOTEPAD it makes no difference.

Similarly when you meet a Nature in its own beautiful world, you lost your sorrows, errands in its awesome world.

On Saturday 12th of May I decided to go for bird watching at Sanjay Gandhi National park, Borivali, Mumbai.

Early night I couldn’t sleep on time coz some of our relatives had come for night stay. So I was not sure whether I will go for trek or not. But in the morning my Aunty came to say goodbye, I got thrilled. I woke up on proper time. Now I was sure that I can go for trek. Still I was having 1hr to get ready.

I took a rick and reached at Borivali (paid RS.94)

Vinay was already there and waiting for us.

After some time Girish and Vidyut joined us. It was 7:45 by that time and sun was getting warmer. 

National Park opens at 7:30am and closes by 6:00pm. It charge you Rs.20 as Entry fee.

We started walking inside and decided to take a Vanrani route. (Vanrani is a small train provided to get you a small Jungle Safari).

We got a welcome sound by cuckoo followed by various other birds around.

It was a nice start for the trek. After we minutes walk Vidyut showed us the large number of jungle sparrows. I had never seen so many sparrows together.

To my shock Vidyut told us the parrots we are looking at are not actually parrots but they are parakeets. Parakeets are very much similar to parrots.

To our knowledge he added that Parrots are not found in Mumbai. So whatever we have learned or shown from childhood were Parakeets and not Parrots.

We saw a dam like structure but riverbed was dry, few Herons and Ducks were moving around.

Girish started clicking with his Canon SLR camera.

Some eagles were kept in the cage and few Deer were also there. I found it bad and ugly to see those poor birds trying to escape from cage.

When we reached in the middle of rail trek, we found one female cuckoo was eating fruits. I checked her from my binocular; she was a stunning beauty.

I got freeze for some moments.

After few more birds, their sounds and some leopards, tigers (in cage obviously), I returned from half of a journey to get back to my routine.

It was least 1 hour journey but I got fresher for thousands of hours.

Three kids from native pada came to drop me till Safari station.
