Bhutan Edition
World Street Corner Music Day leads today's complete edition for Bhutan.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for songs heard from passing cars, markets, radios, festivals, windows, workplaces, and family gatherings.
The famous traffic cop at the Thimphu roundabout who directs cars with elaborate, dance-like hand gestures is a national icon. Bhutan once installed a traffic light in Thimphu and removed it within days because people found it too impersonal. The joke goes that Thimphu rush hour is when three cars arrive at the roundabout at the same time. The traffic cop is more photographed than most dzongs.
A day for the person who listens to the problem, finds the part, and knows whether it can be saved.
A day for friendly disputes, season hopes, old victories, new lineups, and the bonding power of a harmless debate.
