running towards the statues on the Tank Bund. Some of the men were 

carrying large demolishing equipment and other with long metal chains. 

The destruction of statues occurred fast and furious with no time to 

waste. The Bulbuls took off as the statue was demolished and dragged 

into the lake. 

From Birds' eye view, the whole scene was sickening.  The birds 

spend time feeding on various bugs and worms at the garden and rest on 

the statues for a short break before flying back to their nests on 

nearby rocky hills quickly disappearing from too much quarrying. Since 

the statues on the Tank Bund were vandalized and dragged into the lake. 

The Bulbuls now take shelter on the statue of Buddha in the center of 

the lake since it safe from humans unlike the statues on the Tank 

Bund.  Buddha was a Karma-Yogi born in 560 B.C., gave his life 

for ‘Ahimsa' or non-violence, lucky his statue was erected in middle of 

the lake away from unruly crowds prone to violence. The statues of the 

dead people known for their self-less work on the Tank Bund were at the 

wrong place at the wrong time became victims to the mindless violence. 

Watching the mindless destruction on the ground below, the 

birds flying high in circles started singing in harmony “now you have 

the distinction of having bird brains, you bird brains, bird brains 

bird brains.” 

The Yellow Throated Bulbuls were safe resting on the statue of 

Buddha. The Bulbuls were clueless why the destruction of statues on the 

Tank Bund took place but they understood that the humans are dangerous 

species to live with, and their violent tendencies that erupt for any 

or no reason at all. 

The statues fixed in ground and vulnerable to vandalism, ended 

up dismembered and thrown into the lake, not exactly the Muslim 

Engineer envisioned the purpose of it when he built over 400 years ago.
