Requiem : – The Requiem or Requiem Mass, also known as the Missa pro defunctis (Latin, “Mass for the deceased”) or Missa defunctorum (“Mass of the deceased”), is a liturgical service of the Roman Catholic Church celebrated by the priest presider for the repose of the soul of a particular deceased person or persons.

I was first exposed to Uran in 2005 by Adesh Shivkar . Since then, this is one area, I fondly called “Uran: The Mumbai Bird Park”. Rakesh and I checked out Uran this morning. Today, Uran a stellar birding wetland is now dead. All ponds and wetlands have been filled in and, sure enough there will be buildings and “development” in that area soon. The only pond where there were a few shovellers, some Pied Avocets and a lone flamingo were, at the end of the Prinia lane opposite the police station. The light was straight into us and I got this moody shot of the lone flamingo.
