This is not a boutique shop or a luxury store, this is Mission Shakti Bazar in Bhubaneswar.
A vibrant place where women Self-Help Groups (SHGs) from across Odisha showcase and sell their products.
From handicrafts and handlooms to authentic food products, it’s one of the best places to experience Odisha’s rich heritage under one roof.
A beautiful one-stop destination to support local artisans and women entrepreneurs.
ସାବିତ୍ରୀ ବ୍ରତର ଏହି ପବିତ୍ର ଦିନରେ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ଅଭିନନ୍ଦନ .
On this auspicious day, may your faith and devotion be rewarded with prosperity and joy. #SabitriBrata wishes to you and your family. My Sand art at puri beach in Odisha.🙏
Odia pithas are highly underrated. ❤️
One of my non-Odia friends tried them recently and was simply amazed by the taste and variety.
Odisha’s traditional pithas deserve way more recognition across India.
Indian cuisine conversations often revolve around Punjabi, South Indian or Bengali food. Odiya cuisine deserves a much bigger place on that table.
What struck me most was its restraint. No overload of cream, butter or chillies. Just balance, mustard, fermentation, texture and freshness.
Dahi Bara Aloo Dum (popular street food), Drumstick-Brinjal Besara, Chhena Tarkari, Chakuli Pitha (like dosa) Aloo Patra Besara… all made at home.
One mother forbade medicines to the dying, converted them, then laughed at the death count; the other mother has provided free treatment to 5.9 million, built 13 million sqft, 95 OT, 101 speciality, 4050 bed hospitals employing 1540 doctors.
The first mother got the Nobel Prize.
Her name was Sindhutai Sapkal.
She was born on November 14, 1948, in Wardha district, Maharashtra, into extreme poverty. Her family called her Chindi. A rag. Because to them, she was unwanted.
She was married at nine years old to a man thirty years older.
At twenty, she was pregnant with her fourth child. Her husband accused her of carrying another man’s child. He beat her and threw her out of the house.
She gave birth that night alone in a cowshed. She cut the umbilical cord with a stone.
She begged on trains to survive. She ate what people discarded. She slept in railway stations and cremation grounds.
Then she saw a child crying alone on a platform.
She picked the child up.
Then another. Then another.
She began collecting abandoned children from railway stations across Maharashtra. She gave each of them a name, an education, and a future.
She gave her own biological daughter up for adoption so that none of her children would ever feel less loved than the others.
She raised more than 1400 orphaned children. Over 200 of them became lawyers, doctors, and professors.
She received the Padma Shri in 2021 and more than 750 national and international awards.
She called all 1400 of them her children. All 1400 called her Maa.
She passed away on January 4 2022. She was 73 years old.

Every time I hear @jsaideepak ji, I feel restless. In the pride of being “peaceful nation”, what we certainly forget that there is no Peace without war. 🇮🇳

As I write this, my inbox is overflowing with messages from TCS employees, from Lenskart employees, from Hindu students of Ashoka University and Azim Premji University, from teachers, from mothers, from civil servants.
They are sharing screenshots, they are sharing their experiences, they are sharing ads and employee guidelines that show a distinct anti-Hindu bias. ‘Talk about TCS. Talk about the bindi in TBZ ads. Talk about Azim Premji. Talk about this. Talk about that’, the messages tell me.
I hear you. You mean well. But I am ONE person. A private citizen with no institutional backing, no legal team, no corporate PR machine. I am doing what I can, using my voice, my credibility and my social media presence for the cause. But here is the question that bothers me; What are YOU doing?
Why are Hindus depending on a handful of voices like mine to fight their fight for them in their own land?
Hindus constitute the overwhelming majority of this country. Majority of TCS employees are Hindu, majority of Lenskart employees are Hindu, majority of students at Ashoka and Azim Premjee university are Hindu, majority of the teachers and professors are Hindu, and yet, Hindus behave like a persecuted minority.
This cannot go on. If you face discrimination at your workplace for being a Hindu, file a complaint and go public with it. If your company runs advertisements that erase Hindu identity, name them, call for a boycott, and follow through. If your university hosts speakers who call for violence against your civilisation, stand up in that hall, walk out or record it and make it public.
Stop waiting for someone else’s courage to be contagious. Dharma does NOT protect those who will not protect it!
