I saw this amazing artifact, ivory comb with Ganesha one side & Radha-Krishna on the other. Look under the Ganesha. You will see inscribed in Odia, the name of 15th century Gajapati of Puri, Shri Purushottama Deba. How did it find its way to the Museum of Fine Arts at Houston?

This lallantop video highlights how Odia cuisine, one of India’s finest, is still underrepresented outside state.
It’s time we change that.
Let’s proudly celebrate and promote our food, culture & heritage beyond our state borders.
Be a proud Odia. Be an ambassador of Odisha!
Et Tu, Raghu?
Today, Cuttack mourns the passing of a legend. Raghu Babu, the iconic culinary custodian, soul chef of the city (Dahibara Aludam), served this city for 70 years—not just food, but love, memory, and identity.
He never changed his recipe. Never opened a shop. Never compromised. His sal leaf plates, his watery curd, his signature smile beneath the blue kurta—these were the symbols of a city’s soul.
Raghu wasn’t a vendor, never. He was Cuttack’s safehouse. A 20-minute interaction that could last you months. A friend who asked about your parents, your travels, your heart.
He’s gone now. And with him, a brick from the citadel has fallen.
Farewell, Raghu. You were the heritage maker of the city.
You’ll live on—in every bite, every memory, every hug of home.

✨ Remembering Raghu Bhaina, the soul behind the iconic Raghu Dahibara.
✨ Honored with the My City Award in 2019 for his contribution to food and culture.
✨ He served not just a dish, but love and happiness on every plate.
Celebration, seriously? Bhubaneswar needs honest and kind treatment. April 13 1949 - April 13 2025: Bhubaneswar celebrates its Foundation Day. What about its growth after birth? Today the resplendent City of Temples is Rumpled. Sisupalgarh has been obliterated. Nandankanan is a part of a residential colony. Housing complexes are coming up in the middle of Chandaka. By 2030 there would be a shortfall of about half a million houses. Migration is endless. More than 550 slums. Young heritage researcher Deepak Nayak and Piyush Rout speak the truth. Pained with the city's unplanned, haphazard growth. The PM expects so much of and from Odisha/Bhubaneswar but are we doing enough to rise to the occasion? Create more urbanisation across the state and take the load off Bhubaneswar.

This picture I took of a street cleaner in Spain always haunts me. To be a truly great nation, this is how our municipal workers must look like. This is how manual work must be paid for and respected.

She is my inspiration for 2024. Kalika Sahu is from remote Telkoi of Keonjhar in Odisha. Passed 10+2 & joined a government-run skill programme. Was picked by @tataadvanced & trained to build Boeing aircraft frames. 7 years after, she is a supervisor with her own jig of workers. Next time you fly Boeing, think of Kalika Sahu.
