Following injunctions is like deciding to carry the tumbler filled with water to the brink without spilling a drop. It makes sure we can never remember the ONE.

@NTA_Exams admitted over phone that in their exam centers in the south, students from the north are often harassed. This might be happening in other states as well. They are aware and don’t do anything about it. These are teen age kids trying to sit for life defining exams.

This is exactly why cleanliness in India struggles, not because systems don’t exist, but because accountability doesn’t. A railway staff member in Sdah–Ajmer SF Express (12987) casually throwing garbage out of a moving train, and then justifying it? This isn’t ignorance, it’s arrogance. If those responsible for maintaining public spaces themselves treat the country like a dustbin, what message does it send to citizens? Strict action must be taken. Not warnings, not transfers… real consequences. @AshwiniVaishnaw @RailMinIndia Fix the mindset before preaching “Swachh Bharat.”

ALL NINE COPS TO BE HANGED!!! In a landmark judgement, the honourable First Additional District and Sessions Judge of Madurai, G Muthukumaran pronounced death penalty for all nine policemen in the Jeyaraj and Beniks custodial torture and death case. Inspector S Sridhar, sub-inspectors P Ragu Ganesh & K Balakrishnan, head constables S Murugan and A Samidurai and constables M Muthuraja, S Veil Muthu, S Chelladurai & X Thomas Francis have all been found guilty of the double murder. On 19th June 2020, Jeyaraj went to his son’s mobile shop in at Sathankulam in Thoothukudi. Police arrested him for violating Covid rules. Following the father’s arrest, Beniks went to the police station and requested for his father’s release. Beniks apparently had an argument with the cops. They arrested him also and tortured him and his father through the night and later sent to judicial remand. Beniks died at Kovilapatti Government Hospital on 22nd June, 2020, and Jeyaraj passed away the next day. The investigation later revealed that the mobile shop wasn’t open beyond the permissible hours. Basically a false case was slapped. Later, a female constable, Revathi came forward to tell the truth of their torture. Not only were the son & the father beaten brutally throughout the night but were also made to clean up their blood off the police station floor and walls with their clothes. Beniks sustained 13 external injuries and Jeyaraj had 17 wounds that ultimately led to their deaths. They were bleeding from their rectums when they were sent to jail!!! Following a huge social media uproar and protests, there was pressure on the then Tamil Nadu government to conduct a fair investigation into their deaths. If you go through the whole case, you will realise that 59 year old Jeyraj and 31 year old Beniks were killed purely because the ego of the policemen was hurt. They were angry that Beniks questioned why his father was arrested and being beaten up. Family of the victims hope this will be a lesson to all policemen who think they can get away with any crime. But unfortunately in our country most police don’t play by the rules. It is either their ego or orders from above or corruption that drives them. Hoping for better policing and a system that stands for victims, especially the voiceless ones.

@vigneshwarpoojr Only once and only one other territory?

@VivekanandaPan2 Well he did and was defeated by Vali

When Ravan was so powerful, why didn't he try to acquire the whole world? Why was he settled with a small island of Lanka?

@pattaprateek @VAdkri Thank you so much!

@VivekanandaPan2 @VAdkri Please check 'Odisha: An architectural odyssey'

Someday one would like to see a traditional Odia house revived. While South India has done great work in preserving such homes, there is almost no parallel here. Hardly any Odishan elements left in modern houses. A sad condition for a state that abounds in artists of great skill.

@VAdkri @pattaprateek It’s hard to find a book or even an online blog that would have information about Odia architecture for houses. I have been looking.

@pattaprateek Traditional Odia household terms like Panchā, Pindā, Kuthā, Gambhiri, Aganā, Medha, Duara and Dalāna are gradually disappearing from everyday use, increasingly replaced by modern terms like “dining,” “drawing,” “utility,” and “balcony.”

@ShivAroor It isn't the supreme court. It is a judge or a bench of judges. Shouldn't they be named so that we know who are involved?

BREAKING ⚠️ As I had told you 10 days ago (Tweet below), Pune Porsche teenager's father Vishal Agarwal gets bail from Supreme Court.

Mention an Odia who inspire today’s youth Pratap Khandual

@abdaal How to reach you?

As Chaitra approaches, my Ashoka tree bursts into beautiful bloom. Mayadevi gave birth to the Buddha holding on to its branches (not the Sal - as is wrongly believed), yakshis appear framed by its silhouette and its dense flower clusters appear in Kamadeva's quiver

@ShivAroor Juvenile? They don’t get behind the wheel on the road the first time without anyone‘s knowledge and kill. The path to reaching fast driving (access, learning, independence) goes through everything that are acts of adult-like and involves many other adults repeatedly.

Mumbai couple Dhrumil & Meenal mowed down on Feb 5 by an underage teen making reels in SUV. Dhrumil died yesterday after 10 days in coma. Meenal still fighting for her life. Minor released Juvenile Home for exams. Dhrumil-Meenal’s family joined me live:

@pureodiasaswata @kumariika @Culturedeptt @CMOfficeUP @CMO_Odisha @BBSRBuzz This probably isn't in their control. The board designed through a computer software didnt have rendering features for Odia(and i could see Tamil as well). So, the conjunct didn't form and the matra didn't go to the left. Odia in digital medium in 2026.

Isn’t this corrected yet ? @Culturedeptt , I hope you’re aware of this. It should be "ଦଶାଶ୍ବମେଧ ଘାଟ" @CMOfficeUP @CMO_Odisha @BBSRBuzz

It has become IMPOSSIBLE to sustain the extreme noise and pollution. Just a few days to go for JEE and board exams and there is nowhere to go. Officials can’t even read an address, let alone act. Feeling helpless @ICCCBengaluru @BlrCityPolice @CPBlr

I grew during a period when eating out wasn't a thing. So, restaurant visits whenever i am home in #bbsr is rare. Today i went to @OdraaDine with family (mostly elderlies). Proud that such a place exists. OUTSTANDING!

@EastsernSaga @devasissarangi @manas_muduli I remember having come across an economic progress report of the first of its kind for Odisha that compared 2011 with 2021. The only industry that grew was mining/metal. Even the bicycles, slates, chappals that were distributed were not made in Odisha.

@devasissarangi @manas_muduli Exactly!! What's the real hurdle? Is our ecosystem not good? Why are they not coming to Odisha? Is there any problem within our leadership? Our IT/industry ministry are not approaching the appropriate ones? We all saw how Andhra minister Loka Naresh works, his whole team!

The Bhubaneswar-Cuttack-Puri-Paradeep Economic Region (BCPPER) is taking shape!! Integrating innovation hubs, world-class logistics, tourism circuits, higher education & medical tourism. Alongside, major urban clusters like 1. Berhampur–Gopalpur–Chatrapur 2. Sambalpur–Jharsuguda–Bargarh 3. Jeypore–Sunabeda–Koraput are being developed into powerful agglomerations.

I was trying to help an engineering aspirant prepare for JEE. I realised that most of the “difficult” questions are convolution of the language. In the technical field, I haven’t come across an engineering challenge that presents itself in complexity of interpretation.
