Button, just clicked this photo of a mynah sitting on a tree outside our hotel room window at The Grand in Kolkata.

She’s stunning.

Her eyes are so beautiful and alert. Do you know why her beak is open?

Why?

When she found I was edging towards her, she looked stunned and whatever food she was holding in her mouth fell down.

That’s sad. Which means she’ll have to hunt for more food!

I guess but I just had to click her.

In school where I studied in Kolkata, every time we spotted a single mynah, we’d think it would bring us bad luck and we would actually go out looking for two which meant good luck. The refrain went–one for bad luck, two for joy…I’ll have to look out for two mynahs today…
