The two Chinar Trees and the Hooru Bird

Description

am from Wazeerpur Shigar, where there are about 30 to 35 families, all of whom belong to the Mosavi Syed clan. When we were young, I used to hear from our elders that there were two chinar trees in the middle of our village, spaced about 10 to 15 meters apart. Birds would come and chirp on these trees, bringing peace to our village. During that time, there was a bird named Hooru. Whenever a death was about to occur in our village, Hooru would somehow know beforehand and make a distinctive sound. Similarly, when a birth was imminent, Hooru would chirp joyfully, signaling the arrival of a new life. However, when those chinar trees dried up and were cut down, the Hooru bird also disappeared. Since then, nothing similar happens anymore.
