The golden fountain inside a courtyard in Bhaktapur Durbar Square was built by King Jitamitra Malla. The priests fetch water from this water spout to worship Goddess Taleju. The mythical creature Makara, swallowing a goat, forms the main body of the spout. #EverydayNepal

Sometimes birds and animals say words wiser than human beings. In 'Budhani', a novel 'refabulated' from a Tharu fable, the conversations between crows made me think -- are we any wiser than birds?

Culture and conservation at Nepal's first bird sanctuary

One of the best pieces of writing this year. If you've ever gone for a jog to feel just a bit better mentally, this is for you.
The Spanish version of this story comes from the wonderful org Periodismo del Barrio; here's the English translation by our fantastic Latin America editor, @melissavida.bsky.social. As the daughter of a Cuban refugee, and someone who has on occasion done running-as-therapy, this story means so much.
