It is now 3 months. Since the day, I landed at Windsor Pond,
in the course of my morning walks and evening strolls, I have covered almost
every nook and corner nearby but for one big pond. This unattended pond is
hidden behind a dense forest just one kilometer from my home. I found one or
two ingress but they were heavily laden with dropping leaves. I did not venture
for fear of some reptiles getting hurt and enraged. The Windsor Pond society
encounters snakes very frequently.
Yesterday, again I was hovering around the eastern side of the pond adjoining the park. I heard voices. Suddenly, I saw two kids coming out of the
trees. They had colored water guns loaded with plain water. They were showering
each other. Our eyes met. They told they had filled the water
from the pond. They assured me that it was quite safe to go to the
pond. They took me to the bank. The pond was bigger than a football ground.
This pond is going to keep me busy for the remaining days of
my stay. I have heard that this pond is the habitat of long necked ducks and is
visited by migrating birds during winter. I find the nature and the naturals more
harmonious.
