Myna

 A Myna winking at me from the banyan tree outside my window.

The common myna or Indian myna, sometimes spelled mynah, is a member of the family Sturnidae native to Asia. An omnivorous open woodland bird with a strong territorial instinct, the common myna has adapted extremely well to urban environments. Wikipedia

Iconic Taj

The Taj Mahal Palace opened in Mumbai, then Bombay, in 1903, giving birth to the country’s first harbour landmark. The recently trademarked flagship hotel overlooks the majestic Gateway of India. This was the Hotel that the terrorists attacked on 26th November 2008. The clear blue sky with a lone bird flying is the perfect backdrop.
