Hiiii, Welcome to the home of Laku and muki, two cute but mischievous crows.
Thanks so much for taking time out of your busy day to visit them!!
I am excited to tell you about their story and how they settled in this new place ( ' v ' )
Whenever I visited our home town for holidays, every day was like a mini adventure with them. There was my Aunt’s kitchen in a corner, separate from rest of the house but not too far. In few seconds that it took me to walk with a breakfast plate of hot pooris across the porch to the main house, a clever crow would swoop down and make off with one of the pooris leaving me with a sad face!
...it is same with the biscuits, or any munchies we would find in the evenings. And I used to get lot of scoldings for not being more careful.
They were always eagerly waiting on the roof for any chance to steal a sparkly spoon or colorful soap bar if not a snack. So, often times I had to stand guard by the dishes near the green hand pump in the backyard until my Aunt could attend to them. There was never a dull moment and almost every day a neighbor would walk in with a naughty crow story to tell!
I still feel very nostalgic when I hear crows cawing. They are one of my favorite birds.
When we started to think about a new blog, I wanted it to have a cute and funny name as I really enjoy making cute things that make someone smile. I felt it would be nice if the name reflects that. Then Kalyan suggested Lakumuki which actually means a kingfisher bird in our native language. That’s how Laku and Muki got their names!
We hope you have a nice visit here before the day gets too hot! ( ' x ' )
