Birds and a Bug - Siliguri 2009

I took these years ago in Siliguri, West Bengal. Didn't go birding or anything. Some shoot from the hip. Me, I just shoot from the balcony. :)

  The Asian Pied Starling or Pied Myna

  

 

The Jungle Babbler

 

A garden bug, whose identity I do not know... do you?

I was able to identify the two birds thanks to the folks on BirdForum.netBird Forum. Really neat site, only thing is the gallery is viewable after registering. Which is not a biggie is a bird lover.

Comedy Central: A valid point

My five year old exits the elevator in an up-market mall. Something catches his eye and dashes towards it.
Mom: You can't go in there!

Boy: Why? It's all red in colour. I like it. I want to go in.

Mom: No. This is Comedy Central. It's very people tell jokes and make visitors laugh.

Boy: I want to go in.

Mom: But it is only for big people...

Boy: Why? Only big people laugh?

Mom rolls eyes. Girls standing outside the Comedy Central entrance start giggling.
