Shana Kawa - A tribute to the spirit of the Crow...



 One of the most brilliant beasts existing on the face of earth is the Black Almighty crow. You will find them lurking everywhere and anywhere. Especially Mumbai is dominated with these black goons. I think that they are like the Mafia of the bird chain. They have dominated every tree and lamp post standing on Mumbai’s crowded streets.  I have seen them terrorising the small sparrows and squirrels. A bunch of them daily sit and plot new methods to steel fishes from Fisher woman’s baskets as soon as they get out of the train at Borivali station.  They love terrorizing the cats and snatching their milk and fish under their noses. In the marine drive winds you will see them gliding like a hawk in the sky. They love picking fights with everyone the crane, the eagles and even monkeys. They could be easily found partying really hard at a garbage bin next to you. Well I really admire their intelligence and strongly feel that humans have actually found their match among the crows. As they are very social beings, they share with each other their experiences. Every crow belonging to a particular area has a specific local lingo. Studies suggest a crow can keep counts and use various different tools to their advantage. They teach their young ones tactics to survive in this wild concrete jungle. They conspire with fellow crows and also have a very strong memory. They will recognise different human beings. If ever you hurt them in any way they take revenge and will remember your face till their dying day. They will tell their next generation also about your wrong doings so never ever mess with the almighty blacks if you want to live in peace.  When I remember Mr. Darwin’s theory ‘Survival of the fittest’ a flying crows images passes my mind. These birds are master of survival and with this blog I would seriously like to give a standing ovation to these remarkably awesome black birds. While running through the web I found these two videos. One is  this amazing TED video on how we can actually tap their capabilities for a better environment. While the other is this hilarious Sprite add which shows the modern version of the Smart Crow. Do take some time and watch this video it is truly amazing to see the black beast in action enjoy!
