As pedras sempre enganam tanto!

Há muitos aleives na noite…

Havia espiões em cada canto…

Ancient Word of the Day: Orangutan

Content Catnip

Orangutan: n. Orang ‘forest’ hutan ‘person’ or forest person in Malay

Orangutans belong to the great ape family, our closest biological relatives. This familial link is reflected in the word orangutan itself, which Malay speakers today can still recognise as deriving from the phrase orang hutan, which means “forest person”.

Beloved by children and animal lovers of all ages for their gentle soulful natures and intelligence, the word Oranghutan means Orang ‘person’ hutan ‘forest. Help protect these precious beings and #Boycott4Wildlife

गांठ / Knot

Kaushal Kishore

रिश्ते को बनाए रखना,
अगर टूट भी जाए
तो देर नहीं करनी चाहिए
गांठ बांधने में,
सुनिश्चित बस यह करें
कि गाँठ इतनी छोटी हो,
जो प्रवेश कर सके
सुई के छेद में…

🪢🪢🪢🪢🪢🪢

It’s important
to maintain a relationship,
even if it breaks,
it should not be too late
to tie a knot,
just make sure that
the knot is small enough
to enter the hole
of the needle…
