a so called engineer searching for place to SUSTAIN

[The Seeker @TheSeeker268]

It's a shame no major film has been made about Biju Patnaik. He lived a life that sounds almost fictional:

In 1938, he flew his entire wedding procession by aircraft to Rawalpindi for his marriage to Gyanwati Sethi (who became the first Indian woman to hold a commercial pilot’s license, and the couple later flew daring missions together.)

While serving in the Royal Indian Air Force (including as head of Air Transport Command), he secretly ferried freedom fighters like Jayaprakash Narayan, Ram Manohar Lohia, and Aruna Asaf Ali to their hideouts. He also airdropped 'Quit India' leaflets to Indian troops while evacuating British families.

The British once jailed him for transporting nationalist leaders and distributing anti-British literature but also honored him for bravery in evacuating civilians from Japanese-occupied Burma.

During WWII, he flew daring missions delivering arms and supplies to Soviet forces in Stalingrad, and over the treacherous 'Hump' route to China in
support of Chinese Nationalist forces against the Japanese.

In July 1947, he and his wife flew a Dakota into Indonesia, landed on an improvised airstrip while evading Dutch anti-aircraft fire, rescued Prime Minister Sutan Sjahrir, refuelled using abandoned Japanese fuel, and flew him safely to India via Singapore.

A couple of months later, during the Pakistani invasion of Kashmir, he airlifted one of the first Indian troops into Srinagar.

The same year he founded Kalinga Airlines, one of India's earliest private airlines.

As Odisha CM post-1962 India-China war, he secretly visited CIA headquarters at Langley to forge a covert India-US partnership against China, which led to the Aviation Research Centre (ARC) at Charbatia, which supported U-2 recon missions over Tibet.

He was also a legendary administrator and statesman, laying much of the foundation of Odisha's industrial empire (mines, ports, heavy industries etc).

When he passed away, Indonesia observed 7 days of state mourning. Russia observed 1 day. He remains the only person in Indian history whose body was draped in the national flags of 3 nations - India, Indonesia, and Russia.

Few public figures have left such a footprint.

His extraordinary life needs to be brought to the big screen.

@Flipkart so disappointed with delivery and customer care service. Waiting for my parcel for 2 days even though it has reached warehouse 5km away 3 days back! And customer care is completely clueless, doing nothing except raising tickets and feedback.

[arijit chanda @twt_arijit]

@DTDCIndia My parcel is in transit for last 3 days. Its an urgent requirement. Customer care is saying its misrouted and they have no clue when it will be delivered. They don't even know the current location or delivery manager number.

The country where even acknowledgement is bullied under social politics, is under red flag!

[Roxy Koll ⛈ @RockSea]

I have immense respect for the women mentioned here—they have done outstanding research in their respective fields. That said, I would like to clarify that the forecast system being referred to was developed by a different team of scientists at IITM. The core development, over the years, was led by Drs. Mukhopadhyay, Prajeesh, Phani Murali, and Siddharth.

The attached publication outlines the development process and the key contributors.

@livemint It will be really helpfull if we can save daily paper for offline reading

[arijit chanda @twt_arijit]

@livemint would be great if readers can access the e-paper offline (that too in separate section. Present e-paper version could be better if added as a normal mode withoutneed for zoom). Helps to read it through and through! And, thanks for amazing contents!!!

@HDFC_Bank you guys are sending loan offers at 1030 PM. Don't know what's the configuration logic you have for advertisement. But this is just insane! @FinMinIndia should keep some rule on handling promotions!!!

[arijit chanda @twt_arijit]

@pkusrain @IRCTCofficial Hmm. Then they should employ enough people to diagnose all the passengers instead of giving only one litre of bottle for 24 hours journey.

[arijit chanda @twt_arijit]

According to Doctors, one should drink 3l water a day. But according to @IRCTCofficial , 1l is enough!

You are bound because you don't accept the reality which is created by none other than YOU.

Once you accept it, you go beyond it! You become free, forever!
