There’s a nip in the air and a spring in the step of people as they plan for the weeks ahead. Travel tops the list for many, as they set out to explore some lesser-known destinations during what is clearly the best weather to hit the road. But this is also the time for festivals, and festivities, galore with no pandemic-related restrictions this year. We explore the myriad hues of winter in Odisha in our Cover Story. Winter's also time for the biggest fair of them all. In City Culture, we look at the Bali Jatra which makes a grand comeback after a pandemic-induced hiatus of two years. The bank of the Mahanadi in Cuttack is all set for the grand spectacle that is a celebration of commerce and culture. Talking of celebrations, there was plenty of it on display during Diwali. A photo feature captures a riot of colours and emotions as people celebrated the festival of lights without any Covid-19 restrictions this time. This edition of My City Links also brings you snapshots of what was the last solar eclipse of 2022. Although it was visible only partially in Odisha, the event saw an enthusiastic response from photographers and scientists as well as laypersons. The latest edition of the Bhubaneswar Runway Week, or BRW as it is popularly known, was a riot of colours and creativity. Read all about it in our Events section. In City Lights, we visit two villages in the Cuttack district and come back with a touching story of religious and cultural co-existence. In Transit Lounge, we host poetry sensation, Amandeep Singh. A visit to Bhubaneswar is always like a homecoming of sorts for the versatile poet who graduated in software engineering from a reputed institution in the city. In a freewheeling chat, he tells us about the transition from engineering to poetry, his experience so far, and his plans for the future. Screen Shots takes a close look at one aspect of the OTT phenomenon that is as stark as it is disturbing - the trend of content that often centres around the theme of explicit sex and violence. OTT content creators and people who have got hooked on the platforms weigh in on the trend and give their suggestions on the way ahead for an industry that is growing with each passing day

Download or read book My City Links November 2023 Issue written by My City Links and published by My City Links. This book was released on 2023-11-01 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faith, practice, devotion, and celebration. These are some of the abiding realities that have kept societies glued together since time immemorial. In Odisha, nothing illustrates this better than the holy month of Kartika. From Deepawali, Gajalaxmi Puja, and Kartika Purnima to the popular Balijatra festivities, this month has something to cherish for all. Our Cover Story for this edition is a comprehensive walk-through of everything that this month is associated with. When it comes to evolving fashion trends, nothing perhaps comes close to the passion people have had for hair colour as a means of expressing themselves. From the plants, herbs, and metals used in ancient times to the chemical-based dyes that are in vogue these days, the world has seen them all. Over the past decades, the trend of celebrities using hair dyes has gradually caught on with other people as well. City Fashion brings you a special feature on hair dyes, including some useful dos and don’ts. The success of Chandrayaan-3, India’s mission to the Moon, has again turned the spotlight on the technological advances which have helped put the country on the global space map. In recent years, the private sector has played the crucial role of an enabler by turning the Indian Space Research Organisation’s ambitious plans into reality. City Tech takes a close look at the evolution of the space technology industry and the role of startups, including those from Odisha, in India’s impressive space forays. On October 17, 2023, the Supreme Court of India delivered a much-anticipated judgement while addressing the issue of same-sex marriage and highlighted the need for the legislature to bring in necessary laws on this. We break down the judgement, and what it means for the LGBTQ+ community, in City Beat. It takes a very special talent to not only stride across decades but also successfully straddle diverse domains like acting, writing lyrics, and composing music. Swaroop Naik, who passed away last month, did just that as he graduated from acting in films from the early 1960s on[1]wards to establishing himself as a renowned lyricist and music composer in the coming years. In Screen Shots, we talk to those who worked with him as we pay tribute to the legend. Elsewhere in this edition, City Sports discusses why the 2023 Men’s Cricket World Cup does not feel the same as earlier; City Green takes up the issue of veganism.

Download or read book My City Links May 2022 Issue written by My City Links and published by My City Links. This book was released on 2022-05-04 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A decade ago, if somebody had said that you could earn money by cracking jokes, you would have been justified in saying, ‘You must be joking!’ React the same way today, and the joke would be on you! Yes, we are talking about careers like stand-up comedy and creative education courses which were unheard of then that are opening up a whole new world of opportunities. In our Cover Story, we explore the new, emerging landscape, driven as much by the urge to take the path less travelled as a growing acceptance of the unconventional. Amid reports of communal tensions in some pockets of the country, we bring you a heart-warming tale from Cuttack. City Lights chronicles the enduring popularity of the Kohinoor Paanji (ephemeris), which was first published in 1935. Over the decades, this almanac put together by a Muslim family has become a go-to resource when it comes to dates for Hindu festivals and religious rituals. A few weeks ago, the sound of Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Academy Awards (Oscars) ceremony reverberated across the world, reigniting the age-old debate of how anger can trigger a dangerous personality transformation. We decided to get to the bottom of a problem that defies easy solutions or workarounds. Read all about it in the Health & Fitness section. The Showcase Odisha Awards continue to connect people associated with the state. This time, the event moved to Bangalore, where it honoured two exceptional Odias. Organic and eco-friendly are all the buzzwords these days. And you need to look no further than the duo of Sukanya Sahu and Farheen Sheikh who have launched a brand of apparels, accessories and stationery using eco-printing. My City Links also catches up with Susmita Misra, who is building a community marketplace for the exchange of pre-owned sarees. She tells us how the concept has caught the fancy of women across the world. The term street smart is no longer something that crosses your mind only when you see someone navigating difficult situations in life. It’s also something that’s increasingly visible on the streets, literally! In Fashion & Lifestyle, we look at a new brand of smart streetwear launched by four talented youngsters. Emerging Odia actor Sovan Samal is busy chasing his passion. In Screen Shots, he opens up about his early days, support from his family, and his inspirations from the world of entertainment.

Book excerpt: The term lost in translation is getting an all new meaning these days, with sections of the country’s media coming under increasing scrutiny over alleged cases of sensationalism, misinformation and bias, or, worse still, over numerous instances of outright false news propagation. In our Cover Story, we delve deep into what has become a dangerous malaise, using some recent examples. History was created when Draupadi Murmu assumed office as the 15th President of India. She is the first tribal, the second woman, and also the first person to be born after Independence to occupy the position. In this edition, we recount her inspirational journey from a Junior Assistant in the Odisha government’s Irrigation Department to the country’s highest Constitutional post. The CityZen section also focuses on Sulochana Das, who was recently elected as the first woman Mayor of Bhubaneswar. She has hit the ground running, determined to make a difference to life in the city. She talks to us about her plans across a range of areas, from health and women’s safety to urban infrastructure. Dipti Mahapatra, General Manager of Capital Region Urban Transport, is credited with transforming public transport in the state. We caught up with her to discuss how she and her team have managed to bring about a sea change in public transport. It’s a menace that needs to be confronted head on, and the ban on single-use plastic seeks to do exactly that. Daunting as it may sound – the items that have been banned range from plastic cutlery items to polystyrene – authorities are gearing up to implement the new rules. Read all about it in City Beat. Transit Lounge hosts comedian Ravi Gupta who has made a name for himself in the world of stand-up over the past few years. In between performing stand-up shows during a recent visit to Bhubaneswar, he opens up about his passion and how the journey is shaping up. City Lights remembers Laxmi Indira Panda, who was not just the only Odia woman in Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose’s Indian National Army but was also one of its youngest women members. The section also takes a closer look at ‘hustle culture’ and the harm that it may be doing to a significantly large number of employees across sectors. In ScreenShots, young filmmaker Sankalp Mohanty talks to us about ‘Achinha Saba'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past century or so, theatre has undergone a sea change, both in terms of its presentation and the manner in which it is consumed by the audience. The art form itself has evolved and transformed to be in sync with contemporary expectations. With March 27 set to be observed as World Theatre Day, our Cover Story chronicles the history and evolution of theatre in Odisha and comes up with some fascinating insights. Eco-friendly has become quite the buzzword over the past decade or so. Odisha has been doing its bit through the Eco Retreat initiative to promote sustainable tourism while showcasing the state’s rich cultural heritage and impressive natural beauty. Read all about it in City Lights. We also feature One M Crew, an acrobatic dance group from the slums of Mancheswar in Bhubaneswar that recently won a national competition. Their rise and rise is an inspiring story of grit and determination. Humans have evolved; so has technology, particularly when it comes to leveraging it for communication. ChatGPT is the latest example, having taken the Internet by storm. City Tech breaks down the phenomenon and explains what it is all about and what this development portends for the future. The Padma awards are India’s highest civilian honour. The past few years have seen a conscious attempt to make it a ‘People’s Padma’, with a clear emphasis on the work done by individuals at the grass-roots level. The list of 106 Padma awardees announced for 2023 includes four from Odisha. In CityZen, we salute the spirit and the accomplishments of these Padma Shri awardees. While Bhubaneswar has seen a lot of development in recent years, it has continued to grapple with one of urbanisation’s toughest challenges – cleanliness and waste management. Things are, however, set to change with the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation deciding to take this challenge head-on. In City Beat, we take a look at how BMC is trying to make the state capital the cleanest city in India. The law and the legal institutions not only need to keep pace with the changing world, they also have to be accessible to all. This is particularly true when it comes to women, including those who find themselves on the wrong side of the digital divide in an era where information is essential for empowerment. A special feature in City Affairs digs deep into the subject of law and gender and tries to figure out the way ahead.

Located in close proximity to buildings that seat the ‘who’s-who’ of Odisha’s power establishment, the Bhubaneswar Club has over the years evolved as an enduring symbol of socializing and celebration.

December 1, 2023 will be remembered for a film that not only created a storm at the box office but also sparked off an intense debate that shows no signs of dying down soon. ‘Animal’, the multi-lingual blockbuster, has received flak for normalizing misogyny and its controversial portrayal of gender dynamics. In Screen Shots, we talk to some prominent names from the Odia entertainment industry on the ongoing debate that has brought with it its own share of polarization and toxicity. Another issue that has become a matter of debate in recent days is that of paid menstrual leave for women. The issue has taken centre stage once again after Union Minister for Women and Child Development Smriti Irani expressed her opposition to the concept on the grounds that it could lead to discrimination against women in the workforce. In City Beat, we reach out to people for their views on the subject

The tradition-rich festival is the theme for our Cover Story this time. The 2018 judgement scrapping Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) was a landmark when it came to the rights of the LGBTQ+ community but it takes more than just changes in laws for mindsets to change. In City Beat, we explore how this community still has to bear the brunt of cultural and socio-economic prejudices and discrimination.

Yes, we are talking about ragging of fresh students in colleges and other institutions of higher education across Odisha.

Download or read book The Future of Fashion Education written by Kirsten Scott and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-18 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fashion education is changing. Not only is it preparing students for induction into the ethos and business practices of a wide variety of design, manufacturing, distribution, marketing, retailing, and promotional activities, it is also offering understanding and empowerment for meeting the challenges of sustainability, decolonisation, and new business models. This book presents 20 essays by cosmopolitan thinkers, activists, and designers to explore new challenges and potentials for fashion education. The chapters comprise case studies, manifestos, and detailed analyses of the realpolitik of collaborating across continents and more sustained overviews of the imminent crises and prospective challenges that face practitioners. Recurring themes include the geopolitics of globalisation, the imbalances between North and South, decolonisation, intersectionality, exploitation, cultural appropriation, and social justice. The thought-provoking contributions show that, although we confront a common challenge in shaping the future of education, we have varied approaches and opportunities to address a transforming industry. This edited collection addresses the issues of greatest concern to students, designers, lecturers and researchers in fashion and allied fields of creative design and as such will find a varied audience.

Download or read book Teacher Education and Its Discontents written by Gunnlaugur Magnússon and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-16 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique collection of essays from researchers and teacher educators from around the world presents innovative approaches to education theory, critical policy analyses, de-colonializing reformulations of teacher education and a “standard of dissensus” for teacher education. This first volume from the International Teacher Education Research Collective (ITERC) illustrates common themes and problems in the politics of education, in particular, standardization, marketization, governance and policy in education, with both country-specific cases and generally formulated theoretical discussions. The book has three primary aims: to illustrate and critique the ethical, epistemological and political discourses shaping teacher education; to identify and unravel the entanglements of politics, knowledge and ethics in teacher education in a range of international settings; and to revitalize teacher education by proposing and exploring alternative modes of thought and practice. The volume contributes to further reflection and in-depth discussion in education, to the formulation of new areas for educational research and to critical resistance to hegemonic discourses of education. Making an important contribution to contemporary education discourse, this book is a useful guide for education researchers and theorists, teacher educators and postgraduate and higher degree research students in education.
