a Drongo has been visiting us for the last couple days, and once a week a (white breasted?) Kingfisher also shows up. Purple sunbirds keep sue-sue-ing all morning; I recently found out that their local name in the Chota Nagpur region (where my dad's family lives) is 'sue'. But we have been house hunting cos this has become small for us and is disconnected from all commuting arteries of (and out of) the city (travails of a job far away and yet technically in the same metropolitan area and of course of a plan to an 'end' to the pandemic and wfh). we will miss these birds, and possibly also this quieter corner of South Delhi which feels less like the rest of the flashy loud city. alternatively we stay this side and move up to be slightly more commutable and live in a dilapidated place that has charm and character and is surrounded by the ridge and forests. the coice feels like that between a practical balanced meal and a mouth watering dessert, the latter possibly hard to digest as well.
