Nobody knows this-
Rocks in Mayurbhanj-3 billion years old.
Earth is 4.5 billion years old.
Odisha was here-
Before almost everything.
Chandipur Beach—
Sea disappears,5 kilometres.
You walk on the ocean floor.
Nowhere else in India.
Leaning Temple of Huma—
Near Sambalpur.
The only leaning temple—
In the entire world.
Not Italy.
Odisha.
Hirakud Dam—
World’s longest earthen dam.
25.8 kilometres.
Nandankanan Zoo—
Only white tiger safari,in the world.
Simlipal National Park—
Every orchid variety-Found on earth,
Exists here.
Only place.

Agni. Akash. Prithvi.
Every missile.
Gahirmatha Beach—
World’s largest nesting ground—
For Olive Ridley turtles.
Thousands come—Every year.
Bhitarkanika—
World’s largest saltwater crocodile —

Lives here.

Called India’s most beautiful —
Train journey. Nobody takes it.
Jagannath Temple kitchen —
Largest kitchen in the world.
400 cooks.200 hearths.
10000 people fed—
Every single day.
Odia —
The only classical language —
Of Indo-Aryan origin.
Closest living language —To Sanskrit.
Chandragupta Maurya —
Hesitated 60 years —
To attack Kalinga.
Because Kalinga’s army—Of 60,000-
Had already destroyed—
A quarter of his empire.
This is the land—That made Ashoka,
Put down his sword.Forever.
Odisha doesn’t need—validation.
It was here —
3 billion years before .
Odisha didn’t need the world to discover it.
It was always here.
Waiting-
For the world—To catch up.

@beastoftraal Wish the two great legends had met

[anand mahindra @anandmahindra]

India is the world’s 2nd-largest sugarcane producer.

But the woman who made it possible slipped into the footnotes of our history.

Hers is an extraordinary story of courage, ambition and service.
She is an outstanding role model for all young Indian women.

Yet how many children today could name her in a GK quiz?

Unsung heroes, especially women scientists, should not remain unsung.

Dr. Janaki Ammal is my #MondayMotivation

@anandmahindra @hormazdsorabjee Mr Mahindra, respect to you. You always think about the country first.

This is just so amazingly creative…

And such a delight to watch the design emerge.

Have we done enough to elevate Kolam/Rangoli to the status of an art form?

A Tamil Brahmin Indian girl the world and the people of India forgot.
Every English speaking Jesuit educated Indian know the story of Florence Nightingale but history has no record of Padmavathi Iyer.
In the year 1917, a Tamil Indian girl was born in a middle-class family in Rangoon, Burma, where her father had gone for a living. He named her Sivaramakrishna Iyer Padmavathi.
At a time when women were traditionally confined to the kitchen/illiterate, the middle-class girl did MBBS from Rangoon Medical College.

When the Japanese invaded Burma, they briefly returned to their traditional home in Coimbatore.
In 1949, she went to London to do an FRCP, then unimaginable for a Female Indian doctor. She was selected to study further at Johns Hopkins University, US, where she trained under the legendary cardiologist Helen Taussig.
Thereafter, she moved to Harvard University, where she trained under the Father of Cardiology- Paul Dudley White.

When a glorious cardiology career awaited her in the US, she was firm in returning to India & serving Indians. She joined Lady Hardinge Medical College in 1953, to become India's First Lady Cardiologist.

S.I.Padmavathi started India's first Cathlab & exclusive Cardiac Clinic. Started India's first DM Cardiology course. She founded the All India Heart Foundation (AIHF) in 1962, to serve the poor & needy. She joined Maulana Azad Medical College in 1967, by which time her fame had spread. The Indian Govt under Indira Gandhi honoured her with the Padma Bhushan, that year.

She was the cardiologist & administrator of 3 great colleges at the same time- MAMC, G.B.Pant Hospital & Lok Nayak Hospital. She retired as Director, of MAMC in 1978.

She set up the National Heart Institute (NIH) in 1981, in Delhi. At age 90, Padmavathi became a fellow of The European Society of Cardiology in 2007.

Till age 95, (the year 2015), Padmavathi worked 12 hours a day, five days a week, to serve poor and needy Indians, with state-of-the-art Cardiac Care. She retired from active practice, that year. The Government of India bestowed India's second highest Civilian Award, the Padma Vibushan on S.I.Padmavathi in 1992.

Both Padmavathi and her sister Janaki(neurologist) remained single and started the Janaki-Padmavathi trust, pouring in their entire earnings to start a trust to provide poor people with money for life-saving Heart Surgeries.

After dedicating her entire life to serving the poor in the field of Cardiology, S.I.Padmavathi passed away in 2020, at age 103 from Corona.

Imagine the steely resolve, vision, brilliance and sheer determination of this iron- lady to shatter the glass ceiling in achieving all these, serving poor Indians with quality cardiac care, and finally giving away all her wealth to her fellow citizens.

Here is an inspiring story of the first female cardiologist of India 🙏

Walking with Arjunan aiyya, the elderly medicine man from the Muthuvar tribal community - people who have walked ancestral trails in the majestic Anamalai hills for centuries. His life and that of his kith and kin are intertwined with Varaiadu- the Nilgiri Tahr. From time immemorial Nilgiri tahrs and Muthuvars have walked same trails, listened to the sound of same deafening winds and witnessed hundreds of sunrises under the watchful eyes of the glorious Akkamalai hills. It is their story. 'Muthuvar' is an ode to their relationship.
