Time really does fly :) Turned 24 on March 24th and the weekend was a blast. Spent the Saturday lazing and stepping out in the evening for some "exploration", photos and some awesome Turkish/Arabic food. Had Falafel after almost 12 years!!!. Thanks to everyone who wished via Phone/Email/Orkut/IM. Sunday was spent with friends and had a blast. Had been to the Jurong Bird Park a few weeks earlier and tons of photos are now up on Flickr...so thought I'd post a few I liked the most here :
Somehow, the feeling that these birds aren't free is still playing on my mind. They're well cared for, probably better than most places in the world, but it's freedom that is above everything else I guess.
Have a few things to write about...so I guess I'll be making a few posts in the near future.

Freedom is a rather generic term and its value has to be evaluated in a specific context. I.e. the freedom to xyz. I've come to believe that you don't miss the freedom to do something until you lose it your you realise you could have it, to begin with. What if those birds have come to accept cages as a fact of life and have never been out of a cage ever since they were born? They'd only miss it if they were captured from wilderness.
nice pics! ;)
