@OfficialSBICare @TheOfficialSBI My mother is almost 92. And the locker has emotional meaning to her.

@OfficialSBICare @TheOfficialSBI I have a question regarding support for bedridden patients. My mother is bedridden and the SBI branch has insisted that if she can not go to the branch in person, her locker is unavailable to us. The solutions they have given are not practical and they tell us just to surrender

@OfficialSBICare @TheOfficialSBI This is not the way to treat customers

[Aparajita Misra @jitamisra]

@OfficialSBICare @TheOfficialSBI In fact, this has been going on for many years with my parents. My father passed away in January, but he couldn’t leave home for health reasons for years before that like my mother. They told us that if both of them don’t go there in person and apply, they can’t access the locker

He was Satyendra Nath Bose, an Indian physicist whose quiet brilliance in the 1920s forever altered our understanding of the quantum world.

In 1924, Bose, then a 30-year-old professor in British India, sent a groundbreaking manuscript directly to Albert Einstein. The paper offered a novel, more elegant derivation of Planck's law for blackbody radiation by treating light quanta (photons) as indistinguishable particles—a radical departure from classical statistical methods. Impressed by its insight, Einstein personally translated the work into German and facilitated its publication in the prestigious Zeitschrift für Physik.

This exchange sparked a brief but profound collaboration. Einstein extended Bose's statistical approach to material atoms, predicting a bizarre new state of matter at ultra-low temperatures: what we now call a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), where particles behave as a single quantum wave. Bose's original framework became known as Bose-Einstein statistics, and the class of particles that obey it—those with integer spin, including photons, gluons, W and Z bosons, and the Higgs boson—was later named bosons in his honor by Paul Dirac.

Unlike fermions (matter particles like electrons), which obey the Pauli exclusion principle and cannot occupy the same quantum state, bosons can pile into identical states en masse. This "social" behavior underpins extraordinary macroscopic phenomena: the coherent light of lasers, the zero-resistance flow in superconductors, and the collective quantum coherence in BECs.

Despite the monumental impact—his statistics describe half of all fundamental particles and enabled key advances in quantum field theory, condensed matter physics, and particle physics—Bose remained remarkably unassuming. He continued teaching at universities in Dhaka and Calcutta (now Kolkata), mentored students, pursued ideas in X-ray crystallography, unified field theory, and other areas, and never sought the spotlight. Nominated several times for the Nobel Prize (notably for Bose-Einstein statistics and his later work), he was never awarded it, and his name rarely appears in popular accounts of 20th-century physics.

There's a poignant humility in his story: a man whose legacy literally names one of the two fundamental families of particles in the universe, yet whose personal fame never matched the scale of his contribution. Bose reminds us that true influence often arrives without fanfare. Some breakthroughs echo through textbooks and technologies, while their creators work in the background, content to let the universe carry their ideas forward—even if history's spotlight rarely finds them.

@TPCentralOdisha The power was restored, but we lost power again now.

[Aparajita Misra @jitamisra]

@TPCentralOdisha I hope the estimated time for power restoration is still 9 pm.

[Aparajita Misra @jitamisra]

@TPCentralOdisha Why does the power going off and on in Kanan Vihar Phase 1? Is there some repair work going on?

[Aparajita Misra @jitamisra]

@TPCentralOdisha Thank you for responding.

[Aparajita Misra @jitamisra]

@TPCentralOdisha Please let me know why the voltage is so low in the night while people are trying to sleep.

[Aparajita Misra @jitamisra]

@TPCentralOdisha There’s no power in Kanan Vihar Phase 1. Can you let us know why we lost power and when will it be restored?

[Aparajita Misra @jitamisra]

@TPCentralOdisha Yes. Thank you. The power came back soon.

[Aparajita Misra @jitamisra]

@TPCentralOdisha Is there a scheduled power cut in Kanan Vihar area? There’s no power for the last three hours. Can you let us know when the power will be restored?

@TPCentralOdisha Yes. The power came back. But I didn’t hear anything from you the whole time. Please know that people expect answers about what the problem is or when the power will be back. You didn’t do that.

[Aparajita Misra @jitamisra]

@TPCentralOdisha What does shortly mean? I called 1912 to register complaint and they have no idea that people are suffering from
Power loss in this area for the more than 4 hours.
Our neighbors also don’t have power. What is going on?

[Aparajita Misra @jitamisra]

@TPCentralOdisha Inverter gave out. We are in darkness now. When will the power be back?
