Ian Burrell very patiently teaching me how to drive the loco. The controls are actually very simple. Handbrake, forward and reverse gears, clutch wheel and throttle.

After we came back from a long holiday, I was surprised to see a love nest of Pigeon in our balcony. They get puffed up and move in short circles to display love for each other. During our absence they had their peace of time and the result was two eggs (second egg was a day younger) in one of my flower pot. They build relatively flimsy nests from sticks and other debris and used mud from the pot as a base. I saw both the parents caring for the young, which may leave the nest after seven to 28 days. Night time the Mother Pigeon use to hatch and lay them while the male use to do during the day time.
Mother Pigeon is more aggressive and attacks us when we go close. However during her attack she gets filled with air with puffs chest and feathers at the nape of the neck to appear larger and cute.

After some 17 days the first egg was hatched and later in the day the second egg also hatched and two yellow babies came out. These birdies are known as Squabs. They have wing like limbs and eyes closed. We provided them with water and millet (Bajra). Later after 4 days of nestling I noticed a peculiar behavior; the young ones will put their beak and hang inside the nostril of their parent bird. Later I checked this behavior on the internet and came to know that Pigeon is a rare bird (Flamingo and penguins are other two birds producing milk) which produces milk and those young ones were sucking through the lining of crop.
A crop (sometimes also called a croup or a craw, or ingluvies) is a thin-walled expanded portion of the alimentary tract used for the storage of food prior to digestion. This anatomical structure is found in a wide variety of animals and birds and is like a pouch.
Both sexes of doves and pigeons produce "crop milk" to feed to their young, secreted by a sloughing of fluid-filled cells from the lining of the crop. Pigeon's milk begins to be produced a couple of days before the eggs are due to hatch. Crop milk bears little resemblance to mammalian milk, being a semi-solid substance somewhat like pale yellow cottage cheese. It is extremely high in protein and fat and contains more of it than cow or human milk. The parents may cease to eat at this point in order to be able to provide the squabs (baby pigeons and doves) with milk uncontaminated by seeds, which the very young squabs would be unable to digest. The baby squabs are fed on pure crop milk for the first week or so of life. After this the parents begin to introduce a proportion of adult food, softened by spending time in the moist conditions of the adult crop, into the mix fed to the squabs, until by the end of the second week they are being fed entirely on softened adult food.

In just one week the baby pigeons start to change color. The underlying skin changes from pinky to grey and dark black. Their eyes were open now and a small humming chirping kind sound (Cooing) started coming from the nest. During the first week the mother used to sit on squabs to keep it warm and protect it.
11th Jan 2013
Their color is completely changed to grey and they look like pigeons J The white lower back of the pure Rock Dove (Feral Pigeon) is its best identification character, the two black bars on its pale grey wings are also distinctive. Still they had brown spikes like feathers on their neck and head.
With the time they became more noisy in the night and dull during day time.
The mother has completely abandoned the babies and only father used to turn up to teach how to eat and other birdie things.
22nd Jan 2013
The squab is now about 3 weeks old and is approaching the age when it should learn to fly. The flapping of wings and falling from the pot was very often and I used to lift them back to the nest. They started attacking me with their wings and beak.
Benjamin Zander working with the five year old violinist Leia Zhu on Paganini's Cantabile during the fourth day of music workshops organised by The Avison Ensemble.
The Avison Ensemble is delighted to have welcomed Benjamin Zander to present a series of music workshops in Newcastle for musicians and listeners as part of our ongoing commitment to music learning in the North East. These workshops were held from 13th to 16th August 2012 in Newcastle University’s King’s Hall; they were open to amateur and professional musicians of all ages and to listeners, including those with no previous experience of classical music.
These workshops were transformative and inspirational for the musicians participating as they discovered new possibilities in interpretation, expression and performance. Ben explored the ‘hidden language’ of music and the impact of its use on both performers and listeners. However, these were not technical master classes – they were full of surprises and often emotional experiences which transformed the audience and players’ outlook on the relationship of music to life.
The Avison Ensemble is the outstanding period instrument orchestra based in Newcastle upon Tyne, which plays and popularises the music of Charles Avison (1709-1770) and other English classical composers of the Baroque period, such as Garth, Arne and Herschel. The Ensemble also performs Purcell, Handel, Vivaldi, Corelli, Geminiani, Pergolesi, Teleman, Rameau, Bach, Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven. The Ensemble is strongly committed to music learning in North East England and has an active education programme and its own annual Young Musicians’ Awards competition.
Ben Zander is the acclaimed conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra and a passionate musician and speaker of world renown. He has collaborated in performances with many of the world’s greatest musicians, amongst whom have been Rostropovich, Oscar Shumsky, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Martha Argerich, Yo-Yo Ma, and Jaqueline Du Pré.
Ben’s work with young people and youth orchestras is world renowned and he has recently been awarded the Youth Orchestra of the Americas 10th anniversary award for his invaluable contribution to the youth symphony movement across the Americas. He has recently formed the Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra to “… shape the musical leadership of tomorrow”.
Ben is one of the most sought-after speakers in the world. Bringing his insights as the conductor of major symphony orchestras to business leaders involved in transformation and change, Ben has become a much sought-after speaker to major organizations all over the world including Shell, IBM, Arthur Andersen, KPMG, Sprint, NASA and the US Army.
An almost 4 month old Vizsla puppy with a Hasselblad and Ilford Delta 3200 film. Self developed. She is eagerly learning about the world, and how certain behavior receives treats and praise. Though she doesn't understand why I give her a treat a week later as I view the negatives and say "good girl!"

We have adopted the new phase of learning with the emergence of the Internet and technology. The transformation in the education sector demands digital learning by replacing books, notebooks, posters and hard copy documents with the websites and applications. Digital Learning is becoming a standard part of the classroom teaching and learning experience. Its various forms include blended learning, virtual schools, online courses, etc., but they all have the same goal to strengthen a student’s learning experience and improve educational outcomes. The learning is facilitated by technology that gives students some element of control over time, place and path. It is the key concept that needs to be embraced by educators in today’s classrooms.

As a child I always wanted a piano, now I have one and can rarely find the time to play it! I love playing and find it both taxing and soothing at the same time. The dogs seem to like it to, they always come and lay by the piano when I play. It's such a pure natural sound, maybe it soothes them as well!
Just before Christmas I was down stairs on my own, late one night, totally engrossed with a piece of music I was playing, when something whispered loudly HEY! in my ear! Totally freaked me out, I went cold from head to toe, shut the piano lid, and went upstairs to bed!
Now we do have a little spirit upstairs who likes to bolt the bathroom door from the inside, but this is the first time any thing has happened downstairs! I don't mind the one upstairs so much, but its a pain in the arse when you have to go and get the ladder to climb through the bathroom window to undo the very stiff bolt, which incidentally is slid right in the catch!
