The genuine "this too shall pass" comment from Babar Azam, who has treated Virat Kohli with nothing but reverence, is being used by Indian cricket fans to troll him.
Lowest of the low, as always.
Wearing an orange bikini in a film - bad.
Wearing orange scarfs and vandalising property - sanskari.
Never seen these Bajrang Dal terrorists do anything constructive. How are they still legally allowed to function?

Once.
Years ago my city was plagued by a deadly disease. Everyone seemed to be sick, many died within days of contracting the virus. One day, after waking up from an afternoon nap, I saw my entire colony, out on the roads & in a state of robotic trance, banging steel plates.
Queen Elizabeth sat through Adolf Hitler, the Cold War and the Syrian Crisis but watching PM Modi change the name of Rajpath to Kartavya Path is where she drew the line.

Established in 1970, the Urdu Library of Orissa at Buxi Bazar, Cuttack, was once a hub for students from all walks of life.
Now, it lies dilapidated. ⬇️
True. I gave an earful to a labourer on why he doesn't invest his Rs 150 a day in mutual funds and crypto.
For some bizarre reason, these people think putting food on the table is more important.

As a kid when I used to watch WWE, there was a wrestler called Kurt Angle who was an Olympic gold medalist, but the crowd would chant “You Suck” every time he came. He was just performing, but still a gold medalist portrayed such was horrifying for me.

Yet, hardly anyone in the country, including Odias, know anything about Odisha's football heritage.
Here's some highlights:
I used to wonder why left ecosystem has become so irrelevant. Today, I got the answer.
Trolling, hate speech, bigotry of left is same as of right wing. They are literally two sides of the same coin.
The only difference is the absurd moral supremacy that leftists live with.
End of an era.
Ishwara, legendary dahibara aloodam vendor from Cuttack, has sadly passed away.
Feels like a personal loss as I lived in Biju Patnaik Swquare for 10 years. Heartbreaking news.

Almost every Odia household has this calendar called 'Panji'. It's not just a calendar but also an ephemeris, a book of tables that gives the coordinates of a celestial object at specific times.
It's venerated as sacred in Hinduism & is produced by a Muslim family.
@myntra
H! I'm Vanshika's older brother. She's too depressed to be on social media. She gave me permission to do her shopping. She said she wants a Woods men's leather jacket (black).
The word "pathana" that these lowlives are screaming is often used as a slur for Muslims.
Compared to some states, Odisha has largely stayed away from these tensions.
These films, with no data backing up their claims (producer had to apologise to SC), only fan hatred. Shame.
Nearly 300 dead, over a thousand injured, CAG report citing lapses. But yes, let's just marvel at the politician responsible for doing the bare minimum. No accountability whatsoever. 👍

Randomly thinking about Patel Bakery in Cuttack and the uncle who owns it. The poor man had a hard time for a while after 9/11 and Osama bin Laden.
Uncanny similarity.
But the similarities end there because he's one of the kindest and most gentle human beings.
You know the collective intelligence of this mob of morons is less than that of an unripened potato when the guy holding the camera points at the Kerala Story poster and calls it Kashmir Files.
Resign.
If you had any shred of self respect or remorse for the victims then you would resign. No amount of compensation can quantify human suffering. The worst train tragedy this century happened under your charge as railway minister.
Ex-gratia compensation to the victims of this unfortunate train accident in Odisha;
₹10 Lakh in case of death,
₹2 Lakh towards grievous and ₹50,000 for minor injuries.
What is that mental health disorder that makes you pick up a gun, shoot your senior before pumping bullets into people belonging to a different faith, while telling them they have to vote for one particular politician & one particular party? Need a study on this at the earliest.

At this rate, the 2023 DHOTYA would need a 4-hour gala night at Wembley. Some absolute bangers and we are not even ten days into the new year.

With a little paint and a few brooms, this once-great library, truly one of a kind, would not go to waste.
Around 144 were killed in a train accident in Tamil Nadu's Ariyalur in 1956. Taking moral responsibility, Lal Bahadur Shastri resigned as railway minister.
As someone who doesn't miss an opportunity to claim how great our rail infra is, your resignation couldn't come sooner.

Mumbai is such a pathetic city. The "Mumbai Spirit" is you either being in waist deep water, fighting Saruman's Orc army for 1 inch space inside a train or lining up for an auto. It offers nothing for anyone who's not rich.
Don't call these people 'Tablighi'.
The Tablighi didn't have a choice. They were issued passports by the Indian govt, their event unfortunately coincided with the pandemic/lockdown, they were hounded by an entire nation's media.
These devotees had a choice of not being there.

A 200-year-old tradition, the hugely popular Lanka/Ravan-podi festival returned to the village of Daspalla in Nayagarh district in Odisha after three years.
The fireworks are arranged in such a way that it gives the illusion that the effigies are actually attacking eachother.

The earliest patrons of the library included Dr Radhanath Rath, freedom fighter, writer and Moinuddin Ahmed, IAS, among others.
A Trust was set up to oversee its operations but the library has been lying abandoned for many years now.

Rohit Football Academy was the first private football academy in Odisha, started by former Odisha and BNR goalkeeper Amarendra Singh in memory of his eldest son.
Mr Singh dedicated his entire life's earnings into providing free food, kits, boots, etc. to underprivileged kids.

Safely guarded in a cosy room, were hundreds of books of all languages, sizes and topics.

Located right in the vicinity of Stewart School and Stewart Science College, the library is also quite close to St Joseph's, SB Women's College, New Stewart, Christ College, St Xavier's, Cambridge, etc.
Very convenient for students to pick up books without having to travel far.
Not just hockey, Odisha played a part in another medal-winning sport at the Olympics as well. Neeraj Chopra practiced at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar before leaving for Tokyo.

The man was the caretaker of the library who lived in a small patch of land behind the building.
He led us upstairs to a room, in similar tumbledown state as the one on the ground floor.
The Urdu Library signboard was lying on one corner, gathering both dust and rust.
Went to Royal Biryani after ages. If you're from Cuttack and, like me, though Royal had lost its touch, then please revisit. The old taste is back. So good!
The most underrated social media trend this Dussehra/Durga Puja is how Odias and Bengalis have put the Rasgulla War on hold to fight Navratri invasion on eastern India while feasting on the choicest of meat dishes.

Lost my maternal grandfather today. A man truly ahead of his time. Fiercely anti-casteist, PC Mishra, much to the annoyance of many upper caste families, would invite "untouchables" to his home and serve them food cooked by my grandma. Never met a anyone with a bigger heart.
