Fly, you fools

This summer, when the caretakers of Jana Bahal, a secluded baha at a crossroad between Asan and Indra Chowk, decided to enforce a schedule to when devotees could feed the temple’s feral pigeons, the decision stirred up mixed feelings. On the one hand, through the years, Jana Baha’s army of pigeons have become permanent fixtures at the temple, with several stores in the courtyard selling bird feed by the mug and the sanctum perennially reverberating with the birds’ guttural coo. But on the other, the complex was also perpetually caked with pigeon droppings, giving a white taint to everything, making clean-ups nigh impossible. Fly, you fools
