Cloud watching

When I was a little boy, one of my past time activities with my friends is to sit under a big angsana tree watching the clouds in the sky. We often gazed at the various formation and many times we are able to ascertain ourselves the shape of a particular cloud. This activities had been going on for several years and amongst the funny clouds that I still remembered until now were:

1. Acyclone cloud. The sighting of this cloud was towards the evening and after dinner around 5ish I went down the stair from our bedroom. A group of people standing at the verandah were looking behind the threatre which is basically the Straits of Malacca. All of a sudden, I could clearly see a twirling cloud like what we see in the movie called twister. After about a minute or so, the cloud disappear. I have not mentioned this incidence to anyone but now whenever I said that I saw a twister in the sky of Malacca, everybody though it was a great joke. Is it?

While observing birds show during the current season of springwatch, an idea dawn on me. It is about how we human beings are controlled by the behaviours or character drawn from our parents. So is it correct to say that when we were being formed as baby we were completely innocent and all the behaviours and characters were inherited from our parents or surroundings. I would like to recollect my observation of myself. One strong character that I saw in my youngest daughter the other day suddenly reflect back to the days when I was younger and the behaviour exactly matched how I think and how I feel when such a situation croped up.

Similarly now I can see another ofshoot of another family ie my son in law and his eldest daughter. The character and behaviour can be so matching and I can see that the father fully understand the daughter's behaviour.

While I observed the robbin feeding in the garden yard, this bird are not very keen to fly to the seed feeder rather collects all the remnant fallen onto the ground. Now when she has to feed her little one, she has to persistently fly to the feeder to get the seeds to feed the young ones. This is learnin g from the enviroment.
