Guest guest Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 The Editor, IE, Camp Newsline, Pune. “Genius Engineer” by Mukund V. Deshpande was an excellent reading and thought provoking piece (Camp Newsline, Oct 27). After describing the extremely intricate method of building the nest by weaver birds, the author has asked a pertinent question: Is it necessary to have a big brain to build a nest? Nature says, “No”. Such innate behavior of birds and animals could be an eye-opener to human beings. I had a similar experience. I was bed-ridden for months together due to acute back pain and sciatica with an added complication of a slip-disc. When I was unable to move at all, I watched the intermittent twitching by common sparrow. It jumps from branch to branch on trees and goes on twitching. Since I could not move at all, I started twitching my feet. And l and behold, I started feeling better, the back pain disappeared instantaneously never to return again. Similarly, by watching the dogs and cats stretching their backs for a moment each time they take to run, I started stretching my back each time I got up from the bed or after sitting down on a chair for a while, It has helped strengthen my back even further. Mother Nature can teach us so many more things. Hats off to Mother Nature!! S. M.
