The University of Sheffield, UK, has reported birds evolving in tune to the urban development! Isn’t this great news? So we all have to just sit back and evolve!! Is that what you are saying Mother Nature?

Birds have started switching their morning chores to the twilight zone! Instead of their morning singing sessions, they are doing night shows! The research states that, this is due to the morning hustle and bustle which normally starts at 5am, and during night times its quiet and fully lit up with billboards and fluorescent lamps, mimicking the daylight zone, so they have switched their chores to night time! Poor souls!

Can you imagine human beings evolving over the centuries? Homo sapiens with huge trunks like elephants to suck fresh air or maybe even fighting for fresh air! Adapting wings to get over with the rush hour traffic! Or even kangaroo legs to sped fast through the footpaths! Extra set of arms to perform different tasks as in multi-tasking which is one of the requisites of these days!! Extra pairs of ears for your mobile to answer calls, iPod - to unwind from the mad world, mobile conferencing on the move, and of course you don’t need one for switching off from the public!! Extra pair of eyes to concentrate on your work and other chores!! I would leave that your imagination! For all these to function properly, we would of course need extra CPU’s, yes, I am talking about that intelligent bit, the brain! Extra heads! Done! And moving on to the digestive system now, food that automatically gets ingested just by waving your hand over the food, wouldn’t that be nice? This is because the lunch hour has been shrunk from an hour to half an hour, or maybe even because of flexitime (more money for more working hours!). Not sure about the rest of the digestion process! I’m trying to paint a picture of this sort, painting as in canvass painting, hope I would get it right! It would definitely look like some kind of alien, no doubt!

So, are we all evolving into aliens? Do we sit back and relax? Do we let CO2 emissions and pollution and the whatnots carry on? Join in the debate. Leave your comments as usual.……..Come on India!
