Haven't heard the birds of late

Wow, It has been a month since I'm at XLRI !!
The learning curve has been quite steep, the topics have been new, the discussions exciting.

I still remember the initial days - how I loved the greenery, the view of the distant hills, the tall trees with intricate arrangement of leaves. I had the patience to take snaps, to soak in the atmosphere, enjoy the tea, seek out company. It wasn't so long way back in past that birds had called out, a robin darted about, there was a hill myna up in the tree, and was there a snake up there as well?

Now, I don't hear the birds anymore.
They must be still there, its just that I'm preoccupied with my lessons. Learning is the REASON why I'm here, but I guess I will give the birds a chance to be heard as well.

gr8 stuff. Many people are tone deaf to everything that is 'impractical'. Most of the people don't even think that way.
