Schooling is fun time when you spot a shadow of an eagle on the playground and run to place your foot on it with hopes to find treasure or see the special ‘Koels’ singing alone or together and start rhying on them " One for sorrow, two for joy, three for letter, four for boy, five for silver, six for gold, seven for secrets never to be told". Birds have a special influence on valentine day and if seen by a woman, she is sure to marry the person it symbolises.
