The way peacock has spread his feathers which generally remains at the back while dancing it appears as if he is trying to express his feelings.

The ambience created by the image reminds me of a great song from the Hindi movie BARSAT “Hawa Me Urta Jaye Mera Lal Dupatta Malmal Ka Ho Ji “….given below.

हवा में उड़ता जाये
मेरा लाल दुपट्टा मलमल का हो जी,हो जी
इधर उधर लहराये
मेरा लाल दुपट्टा मलमल का हो जी, हो जी


थर थर थर थर हवा चली
हाय जियरा डगमग डोले
फर फर फर फर उड़े चुनरिया
घूँघट मोरा खोले
हवा में उड़ता जाये …


झर झर झर झर झरना बहता
ठण्डा ठण्डा पानी
घूँघरू बाजे ठुमक ठुमक
चाल हुई मस्तानी
हवा में उड़ता जाये …

The image is from the wilderness of Delhi taken on 15th June 2015.
