i saved a bird from certain death day before yesterday.
while on the way back from an office complex i visited, i say this small bird (some bird bigger than a sparrow, dont know the name), writhing in pain and hobbling on the edge of the road inches away from the rushing traffic. it had broken its legs and couldn't fly either.
i crossed the road and fishing out a writing pad from my bag, lifted the bird on the median (of the road). then i sort of "covered it" with my bag and looked for someone who could help. unfortunately that day i had ventured out without my mobile phone, so could not call the police myself.
then i stopped a chubby guy on the other side of the road and got him to call up someone who could help. he called up a colleague of his who was still at office and that friend googled and told him the phone number of some kind of wildlife protection agency in singapore. then that guy, his name was Cheong, went to his house nearby to get a box while i waited on the median.
Cheong came back with a shoe box and i put the bird in it. then we waited in an apartment complex and waited for the wildlife agency truck to come. we talked about india and china (cheong is chinese and i am from india) and sipped lemon tea. then the truck came and they took the bird away to safety.
i felt like a hero.

Take my hand, my child of love
Come step inside my tears
Swim the magic ocean,
I've been crying all these years
Take my hand, my child of love
Come step inside my tears
Swim the magic ocean,
I've been crying all these years
