I’m thinking of doing a 10-Tweet thread called something like “10 changes that would make #Bhubaneswar MUCH better.”
I could probably get an article published with the concept, but this would be faster.
& would probably b read by more people
What would YOU include in it?
Affordable Housing in #Bhubaneswar is not longer ‘AFFORDABLE’😝🤦🏽♂️
Why 🤔
What is the alternative 😉🤔
We can have this kind of road network (mess & complicated as I would call it 🤦🏽♂️) or instead plan for #Metro in #Bhubaneswar & Public transport & NMT & pedestrian 🚶 infrastructure.
We have to decide. 🙏
High speed public transport coupled with great NMT infrastructure would redefine transport in #Bhubaneswar
Really interesting discussion yesterday on the book Trajectories Of Development - Odisha @ 100 at Odisha Research Centre authored by Dr Amarendra Das.

Thanks Sambit for the invite.

#Odisha still is always kept waiting and we say Railway Minister @AshwiniVaishnaw Ji is from Odisha and sure to protect the interests of Odisha. 🙏👇
Odisha is no where in the picture for High Speed Rail Corridor.
#DoubleEngine 🤔
Guwahati–Delhi in under 8 hours? Yes!
The extension of the Northern bullet train corridor to Guwahati is a pivotal moment for East India.
My heartfelt gratitude to Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji and Hon’ble Railway Minister Shri @AshwiniVaishnaw Ji.
The corridor was initially meant to end at Siliguri. After my written request and meeting with Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw Ji in July, he saw merit in our proposal and approved its extension into the North East.
This is what a government that listens and delivers looks like.
As Assam prepares for a new wave of high-tech industries, fast, affordable flight like connectivity to Delhi and two state capitals will open up enormous opportunities for businesses and livelihoods.
A bullet train to Assam once seemed so far-fetched that it never even became a public demand. Today, what we scarcely dared to dream is becoming reality.
Isiliye, Modi kahin nahi jayega!
Have a great day!
Harsh Ji will never tell you how witty he is @hvgoenka ❤️🙏👇
Can we push for GI tag for Puri Khaja.
Jai Jagannath

Likely to be category 1 cyclone as compared to Cyclone Arnab which was severe.
Be prepared but no panic please.🙏

The story of Kajal Pradhan from #Odisha is inspiring 👇🥂
Kajal Pradhan, my senior from engineering college, An Odia girl from Brahmapur.
After working few years at Amazon, she left the tech job because her heart and passion was in makeup industry.
People around her said she was wasting a good career, talked against her openly, humiliated her many times before her big success.
A girl from a small town shouldn’t leave a stable job for something like this. She heard it all and still started freelancing in Pune.
Slowly she built her name in Mumbai. Worked with celebrities, film and TV people.
Then came the big one , she became the official makeup artist for ICC men’s and women’s cricket events.
From Brahmapur to those stages, standing with cricketers and stars.
This is beyond a typical success. She was a lone girl holding a clear vision and a solid approach in a crowded industry full of big established names.
She worked day and night, quietly, with no shortcuts, and still rose to shine on the biggest stages.
With her pure talent, solid energy and determination from Odisha to international fame, she did it her way.
Last week when we spoke, I could see how deeply passionate she is about this industry.
She doesn’t just want to stay where she is. She is already looking beyond India targeting international forums and even the Western ecosystem.
She wants to scale her passion properly, use technology, and make the whole thing more engaging and meaningful.
Even after all that, she never says no when Odisha needs her. Any promotion, any young girl asking for guidance, she helps without thinking twice.
Kajal didi, so proud of you. Keep going higher. Odisha needs more like you.
