his popularity as a singer grew as he used to sing while performing his duties as a barber. Hats off to him for taking the plunge for a fulltime music profession as a career when he was earning 125$ per week as barber and 28$ per week as a singer.
Happy Birthday Perry Como

An Italian Immigrant, his ambition was to be the best barber of the town. Indeed , he had his own barber shop when he was 14.
However his musical ability was so high he could not be stopped from becoming one of the most loved and most successful singers of all time. ++

Had a productive meeting with Grant Thornton Bharat as they establish their new Office in Bhubaneswar.
Hopeful that their new office & International Knowledge Capability Centre will create significant employment in professional services for Odia youth.

Indeed the food is terrific and matched by the hospitality

[Harsh Goenka @hvgoenka]

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.

@wvraman Good one. Almost certainly referring to your pic with Dada and Sachin and someone answering it as Raman Lamba

[Ritesh Misra @riteshmisra]

@wvraman @abhishekdrolia Amazing sense of humour. In addition to being one of the all time toppers amongst well read and intelligent cricketers / former cricketers

Quick tour of Paradip Port, the country’s largest major port by cargo volume, this morning after the completion of the Leadership Retreat. It is an important gateway, including for our own imports & exports.

[Ritesh Misra @riteshmisra]

@AMP86793444 U never know. He was ahead of his time and may have appreciated it as a need of modern cricket

What a historic and unforgettable moment for Indian chess

[Ritesh Misra @riteshmisra]

The world of chess is safe . Two exciting youngsters and many more are there as well

[Ritesh Misra @riteshmisra]

Pride of India and Odisha @sudarsansand comes out with another gem. To put in cricketing terms his consistency with quality is that of Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar @sachin_rt combined. Best wishes to all. Jai Jagannath

@virenrasquinha @lakshya_sen You and the OGQ team have identified gems early consistently

[Viren Rasquinha @virenrasquinha]

Ayush Shetty will break into the Top 20 WR after the BAC.

This will be the first time since Sept 2024 that India will have 2 players in the Top 20 in the MS event.

OGQ supported @lakshya_sen since he was 10 yrs & Ayush since he was 16 yrs old. Has been a beautiful journey.

[Viren Rasquinha @virenrasquinha]

Sometimes, you learn much more from losing a big final than winning it. Especially if you are only 20 yrs old.

Ayush Shetty was taught a lesson by the reigning World Champion Shi Yu Qi (China) in the final of the Badminton Asian Cship.

But still a great tournament for Ayush
