Book Description
With a literary history spanning centuries, the languages of Odisha have found myriad expression in prose, poetry, mythology, history, and politics. The Big Book of Odia Literature goes where very few have dared—into a history of language, literature and song that can be traced back all the way to the tenth century. In this careful curation, The Big Book curates essays, stories, poems, and plays that have defined the culture of a state and a people. A first of its kind, the volume is for lovers of linguistic history and literary traditions.

Book Description
Spark of Light is a diverse collection of short stories by women writers from the Indian province of Odisha. Originally written in Odia and dating from the late nineteenth century to the present, these stories offer a multiplicity of voices—some sentimental and melodramatic, others rebellious and bold—and capture the predicament of characters who often live on the margins of society. From a spectrum of viewpoints, writing styles, and motifs, the stories included here provide examples of the great richness of Odishan literary culture. In the often shadowy and grim world depicted in this collection, themes of class, poverty, violence, and family are developed. Together they form a critique of social mores and illuminate the difficult lives of the subaltern in Odisha society. The work of these authors contributes to an ongoing dialogue concerning the challenges, hardships, joys, and successes experienced by women around the world. In these provocative explorations of the short-story form, we discover the voices of these rarely heard women.

Book Description
Government Initiatives In Bus Transport Services Are Helping Commuters Efficient and affordable transport services are the lifeline of any region anywhere in the world. It goes without saying that this holds true for Odisha as well, particularly when it comes to the use of buses for commuting. Private bus operators provide good connectivity on many routes but recent government initiatives like Mo Bus have changed the scenario. Read our Cover Story to find out more. There was a time when sports and academics were considered to be poles apart. That belief has changed in recent years. Nobody can articulate this better than Odisha’s Sports and IT Minister Tusharkanti Behera who is an alumnus of IIT Kharagpur. The minister, who is our Cityzen for the edition, discusses this and more. He also talks about how Odisha has emerged as the ultimate sports destination of India over the past years, with facilities like the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar and the JN Indoor Stadium in Cuttack hosting major international and national sporting meets. The most recent one, the Khelo India University Games, was also held in Bhubaneswar, mostly at the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT), proving once again that Odisha is indeed the sports capital of India. There is a little bit of poetry in everybody’s life. Nobody knows it better than singer-musician Harpreet. Even as a child, he had understood that music, and poetry, would be his calling in life. He talks about this and lot more in Transit Lounge during his third, and most recent, visit to Odisha. The section also features Mahina Khanum and Avishai who have travelled the world to take Odissi to new audiences. What makes their journey so interesting is that Mahina is not from India to begin with and Avishai was introduced to Odissi by her. The government is working to restore and promote iconic tourist destinations like the Sun Temple in Konark. My City Links takes a close look at the plans, efforts on the ground, and listens to some dissonant voices to bring you the big picture in City Beat. Odisha-born cinematographer Piyush Putty is going places. His upcoming film is being produced by Shahrukh Khan’s production house. Get all the details in ScreenShots. We also bring you some sharp insights into the history of Ollywood’s action movies. In City Lights, we talk about the festival of colours, the rituals and the celebrations. My City Links wishes everyone a safe and Happy Holi.

Eager to see the world beyond its habitat, the fly sees many different places and people before the train is halted in the face of a super cyclone. What happens to the passengers? How do different people react in the face of disaster? Does anybody come to their aid? Can they resume their journey? The second part is a collection of fascinating threads interwoven into a beguiling narrative: • Why did the daughter of a Station Master vanish from the colony one fine morning • ?How a Station Master is tormented by a cobra's presence in his quarters. • Why a tea stall contractor invites the wrath of a Commercial Officer. • What happened to the coolie apprehended during a security drive? • Does the rodent elimination drive end in success or disaster? • Does the future son-in law of G.M Sahib get special treatment from the Railway staff? • How an old lady and a newly married girl display similar emotions when confronted by their spouses. • What happened to the family stuck in traffic congestion; do they make their train? The author, a retired Railway Officer, brings out the joys and woes, victories and failures of both railway main and rail users in a delightfully humorous style. The eventful journey on the Coromandel Express and the other stories about railway life, are bound to keep readers happily engaged to the very last page.
