Living in a high rise apartment sounds exciting. A nice breathtaking view of the horizon, a possible chance to see the stars on clear night etc. come into the mind. Well i accidently started living in a high rise, thanks to a friend of mine who was gracious to allow me doing that. This apartment had 3 seperate balconies, in this world when the builders want to optimize every inch of space. But soon I found to my peril that more balconies are more pain as there were a few unwanted guests occupying the balconies. Guess who these unwnated guests are- our dear old friends - pigeons. I like them as birds and they are pretty too. But, to my trouble every time I step into one of these balconies I find foul smell of our dear friend pigeons "waste remains"(a sanitised word for sh*t). I dont mind them hanging in the balconies, but what rights do they have to make it absolutely impossible to take a fresh deep breadth of air without getting a smelly puff of air sneaking into my nostrils. Seems like this is there way of a sweet revenge against all the intrusion made by humans into the lives of pigeon. My flat-mate has plans to get special mats fixed to the balconies - just to make the balconies a slightly more livable place.
" Till that time, I will watch my steps and my dream
of a perfect view of the night from a high rise."
