Love Whispers, Kalai Selvi Arivalagan [great novels txt] 📗

at night. As a modern man we may not know the comfort of sleeping on a tree protected by its leaves and branches. But early man lived on trees and caves only. Nature as a mother has its own way of protecting all living things in this world. Let it be a cat or a dog or a bird, nature provided a safer place where they can sleep at night.

 

Deep thinking always brought in numerous thoughts into his mind. A small thought precariously branched into too many thoughts and they pressed his brain bringing in numbness. Though he meditated every day before starting for the day, sometimes he could not escape from feeling so isolated and depressed. As his mother tells him getting married could be a solution for all these types of useless thoughts. To escape from all these mishaps Vel decided to take a break and go for trekking along with his friends.

 

Till they boarded the train to Coimbatore, Vel did not know where they will be going for trekking. Usually his friends preferred to go to some places where they can take bath in the water falls and have good food and rest. They never wanted to strain much by trekking or enjoy some feats of real adventures.

 

This time it was quite a surprise for him for they decided to go for trekking. But the plans changed as usual.

 

“Anna, we are all going to theosophical society at Adyar today. Will you please drop me?”

 

When Swetha asked him, he decided to spend the day with her.

 

Around 8 am they reached Theosophical Society at Adyar. Swetha’s friends greeted her in chorus.

 

“Hi, Swetha! Is this your brother? Will you please introduce him?” A bold voice requested Swetha with a giggle.

 

“I wish you should not get slapped by him.” Swetha mocked at her.

 

“Don’t think too much about him. Ask him to take off the helmet. Let us see how handsome he looks.”

 

One more girl teased Swetha.

 

“Hmm. A beautiful sister will have a handsome brother only.” Swetha replied.

 

But he was not in a mood to flirt with those young girls.

 

Vel called her sister around noon.

 

“Come for lunch at Nadhinee Sweets.”

 

“No, we will have some sandwich and milk shake at Aavin parlor. It will be good there.” Swetha replied.

 

“You saved my money. Come home yourself after lunch.” He left the place immediately.

 

“Anna, anna” Swetha screamed at the phone but he didn’t answer anymore.

 

When Swetha roamed around the vast space inside the campus, Vel was also there. But he was on the other side of the campus. The place looked to be the right choice to spend time alone.

 

The meditation hall inside the campus looked cool and solacing. Vel could see some foreigners doing meditation. The vast library with the good collection of books opened every day for public. Yet, a very few came over there to ponder over the wealth of books.

 

To his surprise Vel noted many species of birds inside the campus that could not be seen anywhere in the traffic congested areas of the city.   He saw many green colored parrots at the banyan tree. They reminded him of Monu. Vel decided to spend the entire evening over there until the security guard asked him to move out.

 

In the library he came across so many interesting books about life. There were so many books on philosophy written by scholars. He sat there reading for more than one hour. Vel decided to come there at least once in a month.

 

While walking back to the entrance, he saw many kinds of birds that cheered him with their dialogues. He once again remembered Monu and his eyes literally searched for her among the green trees over there.

 

One morning Monu suddenly appeared at the drawing room window. She sat at the window sill for a while and flew into the room and sat near Vel who was reading a newspaper. From that day onwards Vel could see a change in the behavior of Monu. When he came home, she constantly talked to him.

 

Sometimes you just get a hen that is determined to mate. The hen chooses you to be this “mate.” You are now the recipient of nasty bites whenever you get too close to another human being. Basically, your roommate, spouse, or other family member becomes a threat. The jealous little hen will bite you to make you move away from them. Sometimes the hen will become aggressive toward the family member and suddenly lunge out to bite them when they stand or sit next to you. Obviously this is a serious problem and can make everyone in the home miserable.

 

The first step is to re-set boundaries and dominance. Generally, hens need a very strong-willed owner. Lovebird hens are very territorial when hormones are raging and they will attack if they feel their “nest” or “mate” is threatened. It isn’t pleasant to have their little beaks sink into your flesh.

 

Sometimes this problem can be managed by having the “threats” handle the bird more often when the “mate” is not home. You will often find that when a lovebird hen overly bonds to one person, they are only aggressive when they are in the presence of that person. By spending time with the bird when they do not have to focus on protecting their mate, the other family members can forge a stronger bond with the bird.

 

When we talk about parrot puberty we are talking about when the animal becomes sexually mature. The age that this transition takes place varies from species to species and can vary according to the animal’s gender as well.

 

Most parrots go through a significant personality change as they become sexually mature, some of these changes are temporary and only occur during breeding season (which also varies from species to species). In the wild, parrots who want to breed will have to find and defend their nesting spots. In captivity they may become aggressive and territorial.

 

Parrots pair up with a mate during breeding season and if your bird doesn’t have another parrot to fall in love with, he just might fall in love with you. Parrots that are never exposed to other parrots during childhood can become sexually imprinted to humans which means that they will think they are supposed to mate with people and can actually reject other parrots as potential mates.

 

If your bird falls in love you, he (or she) may become extremely aggressive toward other people and may do strange things with you. Love struck parrots regurgitate food and offer it for you to eat, they may also try making love with your hand or pressing their back up against you inviting you to mate.

 

Be careful not to sexually stimulate your parrot by touching your bird around the vent and lower back, encouraging your bird to regurgitate food for your, or letting your bird rub itself on you. If you stimulate your bird, the bird’s attraction to you will solidify and things can get really strange really quick. Can you say awkward?

If a female is over stimulated she can lay eggs which can be a horrible health risk. The eggs won’t be fertile but they still take a lot of energy to produce and your parrot can suffer and even die from malnutrition.

 

Sex is confusing for a captive bird and sexual frustration can cause your parrot to display a wide range of behavior problems from screaming to feather plucking. Be patient with your poor little bird. He’s confused and you would be too if you were taken away from your kind at birth without ever truly understanding what type of animal you were.

 

Sexually related behavior problems can be fixed with careful training or by simply waiting them out. Parrots tend to calm down when breeding season ends. If you keep your bird active and well socialized with a large group of people, he or she can be mentally healthy and fairly friendly even through these difficult times.

 

Adult parrots, those who have been sexually mature for several seasons, tend to calm down as they age. Many people report that their adult birds don’t like to travel or try new things the way they used to when they were young. If they have been properly socialized they can become very docile and loving. Old and well tamed parrots can still be a bit unpredictable but tend make fairly good family pets or visitors to schools and hospices.

 

In captivity some species of parrot can live to be 80 or 90 years old. In the wild a bird will almost never reach this age, as soon as they become slow they will be picked off by a predator. In captivity that risk is usually not around so make sure you are prepared for a lifelong pet before you take a parrot into your home. Many birds will outlive their owners so make sure to have a second care taker inline for the day that your body returns to dust of this good earth. Enjoy your time with your little feathered friend. You and your parrot will have your ups and downs, your frustrations and your laughs, your times of peace and your battle wounds. It’s all a part of parrot keeping. If you hang on tight you’ll eventually learn to love it all! (Source: http://www.featherme.com/index.php/parrots-101/introduction-to-parrots/the-life-stages-of-a-parrot/)

Dancing tunes

 

The group reached Mahabalipuram at dawn. Darkness lingered and the sun reluctantly sent the light rays to brighten the day. Ramya felt sick and she did not want to be included in that dance schedule. That is the first time she got the opportunity to be the lead dancer in the song and she did not want to miss it.   Though she danced gracefully, she always got the place at the back row. Whenever she danced at the school day celebrations, everyone wanted her to be the lead dancer and she took the centre stage.   But life taught her a different lesson.

 

Life forced her to accept whatever role that came in as her earnings became a must at home. Her father fractured his right leg severely in an accident and had been bed ridden for more than six months. After prolonged treatment, now only he is returning back to normal. Though he wanted to move out and earn for his family, doctor restricted his wandering within home. Though he felt heartbroken to run the family with Kayal’s earning by dancing in commercial films, he was forced to accept it. The team looked after Ramya very well and she never felt out of home. She enjoyed the warmth of love in a protective environment. Though society sneered at the lives of dancers, Ramya didn’t know anything about the darker side of their lives. In the evening after she reached home, she never wasted her time and she diligently prepared for her university exams.

 

For the past ten days, she had been preparing for her undergraduate exams. Though she had been constantly reading her lessons, it was tough to read through the entire book in a day. If she had been regular to the college, things would have been different. As she appeared for the exams through distance education, she had to struggle alone. Yet, she tried to do the exams well much to her satisfaction.

 

Ramya had to join the team immediately without relaxing for a
