Feeding the crows

As the traditional Hindu legend goes, feeding the crow is a good remembrance of our dear demised ones!!!

My Grand-mom feed the crows every morning for the past 40-50 years.... Applying the concept of 'Conscious Competence matrix' here goes:

Stage 1: Crows are not aware that food is available in a house. G-mom calls out Caw-Caw initially to attract them.
Stage 2: Now the crows are aware food is available.
Stage 3: Repetitive visits to the same house makes them aware that food will be available at that particular time.
Stage 4: Without even thinking the crows now come to the house at the exact time everyday.


"Learning the art of food availability" by the Crows is also "Learning".

What do you guys learn from this story?

Reading Books

While Transiting through a Station, we pondered into a book stall. My better-half being a voracious reader, felt there was not enough books to make a hole in my pocket (:-. On the other hand, me being a visual person, felt hmm there was tons of book to read or atleast look through.

... Highly relative, right.

DESSENT SALON

Traveling by Train from Chennai to Munnar for a "GET-AWAY" from the mundane urban livelihood, I noticed a salon named "DESSENT SALON". This at first sounded very funny, getting us a few seconds of laughter at the stupidity of the owner for carelessly misspelling the word. After half-an-hour, thinking back on the sign, I laughed at myself. This owner who had a little knowledge on English, a foreign language, still had the confidence to spit out what he knew to  invite a different segment of his prospect clientele. Very brave of him. He believed in himself and DID NOT care about anyone around him

I am more than confident I have made tons of mistakes in this post !!! WHO AM I TO LAUGH AT THIS BEING?
