@UberEats what an absolutely shitty service, you charge for canceled orders, change orders and don’t inform, and it’s impossible to even contact your customer service.

Contemporary tensions in Cuttack illustrate the fragility of historical memory, as communal divisions threaten to overshadow the city's long-standing traditions of shared cultural practices. @abinashdc writes

Two examples from mediaeval Odisha’s bhakti tradition show how debates and differences about the sacred were part of devotional practice, and not forced onto us after the institutionalisation of modern, secular, and democratic visions. Abinash Dash writes

Can someone explain what exactly was the lesson Modi taught and how did he do this? It wasn't by punishing the killers and rapists so what is it that he did?

Abinash Dash Choudhury beautifully encapsulates the essence of their friendship—a connection rooted in the shared love of literature, a friendship with a sensitive reader who had a line to quote for every beat of the human heart.

"Even before he was a gentle heart, an old man who lived in loneliness, or a teacher, even before he was a poet, Jayanta Mahapatra was a reader with one window open to the world..."

Abinash Dash Choudhury delves into Mahapatra's deep connection with books, highlighting how the poet's readings went beyond mere consumption; they were a merging of knowledge and experience. https://t.co/L0sKirPJWj

“I was not overtly fascinated by the #BhagvadGita. I quite simply prefer other Sanskrit texts. I like the enigmatic beauty of the Rig Veda and I really appreciate the poetry of the Upanishads,” Dorothy Figueira says.

@OdiaCulture Watching this space to get a reference.

@avzaagzonunaada @eddersko Ah, no i thought the desaja and tadbhava could be different categories (sorry not much informed about it, hence asking)

[ଅବିନାଶ @abinashdc]

@avzaagzonunaada @eddersko Ah, i like how you explain tadbhava as inherited reflexes. Any pointers on that? Coz, in Odia we use that for the desaja words and tadbhava is somewhere between the two extremes.

But, yes, I am solving mysteries that I never knew existed... quietly, each lock opened by the key of this mind... going somewhere, nowhere everywhere? There's a breath of quietude until the next one explodes.

[ଅବିନାଶ @abinashdc]

To learn to navigate planning months ahead in time, to be meticulous about every passing, ticking minute on the clock, to be accountable to oneself— of even a minute of breath— far away from the time which was filled with an empty fulfilment, perhaps? I stare into my own abyss.

@DalrympleWill @adityanag2002 @GoalhangerPod Have a good time, @adityanag2002 ;)
Let me know if I'm around will join.

Reminiscing the BA days when I didn't have friends, per se, but would be comfortable on my own, in the corner, at D-school tea stall, thinking of what books to get xeroxed&make notes of, while staring starry-eyed at all those PhD students coming in&out of the library...& now...

What am I? Is Twitter really going?
