more-inA Delhi political reporter’s life is seldom monotonous, more so when you also get to sight the rich bird and animal life of the political power centre. Perhaps, even the colonial horticulturists knew back then that many dour faces in severe need for some colour would come to occupy this road. Experts will be able to decipher their behaviour better, but to an untrained reporter’s eye, they look like auditors issuing warnings. Barbets also nest in Parliament House premises, though they are overrun by pigeons, and reporters taking a break in the pillar-lined corridors of Parliament have to be careful to not get marked by their droppings. But who knows, next time if I lose, he will continue to stay on without rent, while I will be evicted without delay.”
