This time every year, tens of thousands of flamingos flock to Mumbai to feed. But this year, there are almost three times more than the normal amount. The reason for the influx is currently a mystery, but some scientists believe that pollution in the birds’ natural habitat might be one factor at play. One of the best places to see large flocks of flamingos in Mumbai is near a water treatment plant alongside the city’s Thane Creek. Now, an increase in sewage output and industrial runoff into the creek is thought by some to be fueling an uptick in the blue-green algae that the birds feed on.
A man at a train stop shows off pictures of his three sons to a friend. “What do your boys do for a living?” asked the man. “Well my youngest is a neurosurgeon and my middle is a lawyer,” he replied. “What does the oldest do?” the man asked. The father replied, “He’s the plumber that put them all through school.”
Perhaps Alfred Hitchcock said it best when he claimed, “Television is like the invention of indoor plumbing. It didn’t change people’s habits. It just kept them inside the house.”
