    Sangram Keshari Senapati June 16, 2021 0
    Shubhodaya Raja Special edition - Odia e-Magazine

    From 2020 Durga Puja, we are publishing the monthly editions of Shubhodaya on every Sankranti. Here is the 9th edition and we shared some basic details of images that we placed in this Raja special edition.

    Shubhodaya 9th edition Cover photo by Sambeet Das

    The Cover photo of the 9th edition of #Shubhodaya has been designed by Sambeet Das, our main designer from Team Shubhapallaba. The concept is based on Raja Parba and the color combination and art define it all.

    Raja Poda Pitha and Saja baja

    Raja Parba, a unique festival celebrated in Odisha dedicated to womanhood. People may criticize our culture as Superstition or blind faith, but there is a scientific reason behind every belief. This festival is the perfect example. So, we placed this Image in Shubhodaya which described all preparation.

    Food on wheel for Raja Parba

    This time, the Govt. of Odisha also delivered Poda Pitha for Raja Parba. Here is one image by Manas Muduli sir placed in the 9th edition of Shubhodaya.

    Mehendi Design for Raja Parba

    Mehendi, is our traditional design to decorate hands, palms. Previously we're using different kinds of natural flowers and leaves, but not ready-made products are available. So, we used this photo from our writer friend Sushree in the 9th edition of Shubhodaya.

    Alata Pindha Kuni Pada for Raja Parba

    Alata, a red liquid color women and girls use to put on their feet to decorate. Now ready-made bottles are available. Here is the cute feet decorated by Alata taken from our writer friend Seenu Mohapatra placed in the 9th Edition of Shubhodaya.

    Indian chess player Padmini Rout on Raja Parba by wearing Alata.

    She doesn't need any introduction, she is our favorite Padmini Rout and you would definitely love this photo of her with red Alata for Raja Parba. She is looking absolutely beautiful in this photo.

    Raja Poda Pitha by Biswa Ranjan Sahoo

    Poda Pitha, (ପୋଡ଼ ପିଠା) is a delicious Odia sweet delicacy served as snacks. It is the Godfather of Pithas in Odisha and famous for Raja Parba. This photo has been placed in the 9th edition of Shubhodaya taken from our writer friend Biswa Ranjan Sahoo.

    Delicious Poda Pitha for Raja Sankranti

    Look, how yummy this plate is looking. We love this Poda Pitha image, so placed this one in the 9th Edition of Shubhodaya. By the way, this photo is taken from Lipika Mohapatra.

    Raja Pana by Lipsa Mohapatra

    Raja Parba is incomplete without Pana and here we got one beautiful click of Pana Phul holding by the beautiful hand of Lipsa Mohapatra, our Puri girl. So, placed this one in the 9th edition of Shubhodaya.

    Raja Parba wishes from Chandrakanti Pradhan while she was doing her COVID19 Duty as a nurse

    While combining all the images, I found this one on my WhatsApp status, and look what she is trying to convey. In this image, we can feel the pain of her and her love for our culture. Chandrakanti is our regular writer and we always love her.

    Soumya Mohapatra at Kalinga TV premises while celebrating Raja Praba in 2021

    Like Poda Pitha, Pana, Doli is the most important thing of this festival. I couldn't find a more beautiful photo like this. Here is Saumya mam on Raja Doli.

    Beautiful woman art by Bijay Biswaal for Raja Parba

    Raja Parba is celebrated for womanhood and how could we prepare a magazine on Raja without a photo of Bijay Biswaal sir! So, placed this beautiful woman at the end of the 9th edition of Shubhodaya.

    I got a mail from Ameen Sayani sir for Geetmala

    Sangram Keshari Senapati November 27, 2020 0
    I got a mail from Ameen Sayani sir for Geetmala

    On the 20th November 2020, I got a mail from Ameen Sayani sir for Geetmala. A few days backs when I was listening to his episode on the Saregama YouTube channel recorded in 2009, I got his email and curiously mailed him and surprisingly got the reply too.

    I got a mail from Ameen Sayani sir for Geetmala

    Who is Ameen Sayani?

    Ameen Sayani is a popular former radio announcer from India. He achieved fame and popularity all across South Asia when he presented his Binaca Geetmala program (1952-1988 & 1989-1994) of hits over the airwaves of Radio Ceylon. He is one of the most imitated announcers even today.

    His style of addressing the crowd with "Behno aur Bhaiyo " (meaning "sisters and brothers") as against the traditional "Bhaiyo aur Bahno" is still treated as an announcement with a melodious touch.

    This radio program was started when my father wasn't born and ended before my birth. I couldn't listen to the original show, but the recorded show and those memories are really great. I just love that concept of playing those old songs, with those old interviews, new updates about those actors, singers, lyricists, composers.

    Why I'm listening to Geetmala?

    For some reason, I love to listen to slow music. Though I'm very bad to recognize the voice and unable to remember the names easily, but I use to listen to songs repeatedly.

    After quitting my job, I'm working from one place only and that is from my bedroom and listening to songs while working. In 2018, I found the Saregama Carvaan Weekend Classic radio show with Ruchi, and then this year, I found the Geetmala series and started listening.

    A few days back, when I was writing an article about a Bangladeshi actress for Wikipedia Asia Month, I heard his voice and curiously searched his name and found something interesting about him which I've mentioned above. And after one or two days, I found his email id and send him an e-mail.

    Why I mailed him?

    Since 2015, I'm trying to write something and I've written a few stories, some funny poems also. I couldn't write stories up to that mark for which people could remember me, but some people said some inspiring words when I had started the College Diary Series and later also. I felt those claps, a few words are a really great thing for me, and for that reason, I just mailed him.

    But I was shocked when I saw his reply. His words are really inspiring. I don't know if he has replied or not, but I think it's real because, in some of his shows, he talked about some emails which he used to get from the listeners. Anyway this a great thing for me actually.

    I would Miss this Smile on Your Face

    I would Miss this Smile on Your Face
    Sushant Singh Rajput's Smile

    Yesterday I was sleeping and my father turned on the news, which was about you. "Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput committed suicide at his Mumbai home." I couldn't believe it, I just heard it and quickly woke up and the bad dream was real.

    I tried to convince myself that, he is "Anni" and how could he commit suicide? But this is not in the film, it's in real life and it's not happened with Anirudh, it happened with Sushant, another Dhoni of our country.

    I came to know about you when you went to The Comedy Nights with Kapil to promote your 2nd movie Shuddh Desi Romance and from that day love your smile and the way of your talking.

    That day, when you cried on the Road as MS Dhoni, almost all cried with you. But today, you left us with tears. How could you think nobody would care for your nobody would cry for you? Yes, there are people who become friends in good times only, but there is at least one friend in the world, who really cares for you.

    From yesterday, I was trying to write this, but I couldn't. I know the pain of depression and the reality of these people who are talking about you and caring for you now. I don't know the cause of yours, but it's a really tough time for everybody.

    After the Chhichhore Movie, I wanted to thank you personally, but that won't happen in this life. But sir I love you for making that movie and I would miss that smile on your face.

    - A broken fan

    And we are the Best creation of God!

    Sangram Keshari Senapati June 03, 2020 0
    And we are the Best creation of God!
    elephant died in kerala 2020

    As per the human belief, "We are the best creation of God." We have a better lifestyle, we have a fully functioning brain, we have the power to understand everything and lots of things which we only have in this world.

    Is this really true? Are we really that creation about which we always take the credit? I don't think so.

    If you are thinking you agree with the above lines, then yes, you are the best creation of God, not me.

    A few days back, in Odisha one pregnant dog died just because of this human, a few months back, one 5 dogs died with a car accident and now another big incident.

    According to the Times of India news, "A pregnant elephant died on May 27 after a local allegedly fed her a pineapple stuffed with crackers, in Malappuram, Kerala."


    Can you think of such things in your mind? I'm eating chicken, that's why I may not have that power to talk against the hunting of birds, but in such case, I've everything to raise my voice. But who would listen now? Can our voice bring the life of that elephant and the baby inside her?

    But if you could be more careful about such things, if we could care about these animals, birds, then we could also deserve that title, "The Best Creation of GOD."

    YouTube Vs TikTok - A Waste of Time

    Sangram Keshari Senapati May 17, 2020 0
    YouTube Vs TikTok - A Waste of Time

    In 2017, when I wan in Bangalore, I saw my roommate Nikas was watching a video where the person was abusing someone. For the first time, I couldn't imagine what was going on, but I enjoyed it. It's the normal human tendency to see the bravery in movies and it was like that.

    After that, he suggested me to watch some more videos and obviously I watched some. Then I completed watching all of his videos from the QnA videos to the community guideline strike, everything and came to know more about him.

    Then, I saw some of his interview videos; in some of his interview, he had explained about that video, where he roasted BB Ki Vines aka Bhuvan Bam and how he got 1K views in his first and in another interview I saw how Bhuvan explained everything, how he supported him, how he talked to him and appreciate that.

    But, till that time, I was unable to understand how a teenager could use such languages in public, where he mentioned that, his mother uses to watch all of his videos 1st before releasing on YouTube. He, I mean Carry Minati aka Ajey Nagar belongs to Faridabad, Delhi where such words are common and they are okay with that. So, it was cool with him and his family. 

    But now why I'm talking about him? Because of his record-breaking video on some Tik Tok users, which is taken down by the YouTube community from YouTube. Here, I'm going to explain about the actual marketing plan within that.

    I've watched all his videos, so I know whom he roasted and how all reacted at that time and then how they became friends. While Carry roasted BB Ki Vines, Bhuvan took positively and while he roasted Dhinchak Pooja, she used him properly and got millions of views on YouTube.

    Now, he did the same thing, he abused Aamir Siddiqui and some others, where the fight now became Carry Minati vs Tik Tok. This video got lots of views and carry got more than 6 million subscribers in a few days. Here Carry Minati broke the record to gain the highest subscribers within 24 hours.

    All YouTube users started saying the same thing about his video and now the internet community divided into 3 parts; the 1st one supporting YouTube, 2nd one supporting Tik Tok, and the 3rd one is supporting both.

    I even didn't know who is Aamir Siddiqui, but now lots of people knew about him and another user Mr. Faisu started his YouTube channel and got more than 400K subscribers within a few days and his 1st vlog video is trending on no1 at some region also.

    How could his 1st video got such views and trending on rank 1? It's just because of this video by Carry Minati and others on YouTube. All the social media news channels, even some other news channels are also talking about them. This video got more than 1.2 million dislikes also, but the YouTube algorithm doesn't see the like and dislike ratio, it matters about views and ultimately he is getting views.

    Now the question is, why they are doing this? Carry Minati previously said, he is doing all these roasts with the proper permission and I think here there is something like that and all are taking benefits from that. But the big question is why YouTube deleted that?

    It's because there are some questionable things, but I think those people had played a game at the proper time. Carry's video was going to make a world record, most liked non-music video every on YouTube.

    At the time of T-Series vs Pewdiepie, the whole American community supported Pewdiepie against T-Series and all promoted his channel and requested to subscribe. Even someone flew a helicopter with a flag to subscribe Pewdiepie.

    At this time, they might play some games like this and deleted the video while it was about to touch 10 million likes. But what our people are doing? Whey we all are shouting here like dogs?

    Here Carry and other YouTubers are getting views and those Tik Tok users are increasing their fan base and what these people are shouting like fools? These people are wasting their time and obviously promoting them.

    Happy Mother's Day

    Sangram Keshari Senapati May 10, 2020 0
    Happy Mother's Day

    Mother's Day is a celebration for honoring the mother of the family, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. This was started from United States in the 20th Century.

    In the United States and other western countries, most families are busy with their personal work, but here our mothers are always busy her child, for her family. They celebrate this to honoring their mother and we are also following that thing. I never oppose people who are inspiring from other's cultures.

    I came to know about this day from social media. Actually, these social media helps to celebrate lots of days from earth day to mother's day and father's day. I never say 'Happy Mother's Day' to my mother, because she doesn't need that.

    If you come to your mother on a single day only to wish her and rest 364 days are west. So, I'm here with her to help her, for her and for us, all 365 days are the Mother's day, Son's Day, Family Day, everything.

    Today, I'm sharing her photo with my sister which was clicked on sister's marriage day.

    For a Massive Hit, all We need is a story and the effort in making

    Sangram Keshari Senapati May 02, 2020 0
    For a Massive Hit, all We need is a story and the effort in making

    In March 2020, the Ramayan cast members Arun Govil, Dipika Chikhlia, and Sunil Lahri with Prem Sagar came to The Kapil Sharma's Show to celebrate 30 years of Ramayana by late director Ramananda Sagar.

    By that time, the CoronaVirus pandemic started in India and after the Janta Carfue on 22nd March, we all are at home for the LockDown to break the chain of coronavirus. So, Doordarshan planned to re-telecast the old mythological serials again on DD National and DD Bharati.

    In my +2 English textbook, we read the autobiography of Ramananda Sagar on Ramayan Serial making and the reactions he got during that time. There, he mentioned how people came to visit his house to watch Ramayan on TV, who didn't have any idea about the creator of the show. Then when I saw that episode of The Kapil Sharma Show, telecasted on Sony TV, it feels really proud.

    In that show, Prem Sagar had narrated how they planned to make the Ramayan and how they face problems during the shooting period and how they created the animation in those days, where there were no such advanced techniques to create the high standard VFX.

    I heard some people who crack jokes on such series with no VFX and the 2D animation used for a 3D visualization. But, a few days back when we saw the news that Ramayan broke all the records of the visitor worldwide, that moment I realize the facts for a massive hit.

    All we know the story of Ramayan, but still we all watch this series. Most of our people had watched it before on TV and also on YouTube, but they still watch it on TV.

    Ramanand Sagar had dreamed to make this series with all those types of equipment they had and he did that with his team. Later we saw lots of Ramayan and Hanuman series with huge graphics work and VFX as well as some newly added stories.

    Nowadays, the mythological serials are made up of the stories written by the marketing team. So, they are making it to make more money while Ramanand Sagar had skipped lots of things just for lack of references. Now we are watching time travel and lots of bullshit with the original scripts.

    Ramanand Sagar had shown the exact Ramayan with proper characterization and finished the 7 parts of Ramayan in just 78 episodes, whereas the recent Ramayan series may take 78 episodes up to the born of Lord Rama.

    Today, we watched the final episode of Uttar Ramayan or the whole Ramayan, where I saw my parents' eyes full of tears. I bet you, if you watched it properly then you must have been cried at least once when Bharat said bye to his brother at the beginning of the Banabas and the end song performed by Lav and Kush at the court of Lord Ramachandra in Ayodhya.

    Ramanand Sagar is no more to see this great success again, but we love you, sir, for making this masterpiece. Thanks to the Doordarshan for retelecasting this one and giving us a chance to live in that era of Rama.

    Ramanand Sir noted in his story which we read in college that, they were staying in a jungle, where all were calling themselves with the character names and now, we were staying within that campus.

    We lose Another Kapoor - Rishi Kapoor

    Sangram Keshari Senapati April 30, 2020 0
    We lose Another Kapoor - Rishi Kapoor

    There was a time when he was the Romantic Star of the country with a star face holding a guitar with muffler within his neck. The actor who got the Filmfare for his debut, but before that he got the national film award as a child artist for the film Mera Naam Joker.

    From a romantic hero to a villain, comedian, and experimenting with all types of characters, he was excellent in every role. Yesterday, we lose Irrfan Khan, one of the finest actor from the Indian film Industry who show his notable work in the cinemas of the world. Today, we lose another KAPOOR from India and from the Indian film Industry.


    Though I haven't watched more of his films, I saw Pehla Pehla Pyar with Tabu, at that time, I realized the power of that actor. Then, I started watching lots of his films and saw some of his interviews. He told some of his life stories on the Coffee with Karan show and then he came to Kapil Sharma's show, where we saw his humor and the comic character within him.

    He performed his own role for his Biography. He read his book in front of the people, which all couldn't do in a great way. He named his book a Khullam Khulla, where he shared some of his life stories.

    Today, while I was watching news on TV, I came to know about an oldest incident of him. When Raj Kapoor was planning for the movie "Mera Naam Joker", at that time he was searching for a small kid, who could play the role of a Joker.

    Raj Kapoor was discussing this with his wife and purposed for Chintu, the nickname of Rishi Kapoor. At that time, Rishi Kapoor heard this discussion and at that age, he started practicing to give the autograph to his fans.


    He was passionate about his film career, for which he always cared about his roles as various characters. Even he refused to do some good and superhit movies, just not to hamper that image from the audience.

    In the last days, he used the twitter platform and some other social media and spread lots of love and also created some controversies also, but all his things always give happiness to his audience.

    Everyone loves different roles, but for me, your best role is 104 Not Out and that film shows us the value of life and the fear to live for long.

    Irrfan Sir, We Love You More

    Sangram Keshari Senapati April 29, 2020 0
    Irrfan Sir, We Love You More

    We know, the best persons always leave early and you are among them, but we still can’t believe that you went down from the bus about which you mentioned before from the hospitals of the United Kingdom.

    We can’t say or request you to come back, but we could love you more. We couldn’t forget your works in the Jurassic World, Paan Singh Tomar, The Amazing Spiderman, Hindi Medium, Knock out, and other best roles.

    We lose Irrfan Khan, one of the finest actors in the Indian film Industry. You have played various roles in different languages from India to Bangladesh, British and also in American Movies. You played all the roles, from a hero to villain, from a police officer to a terrorist. You proved yourself in every role. We saw Paan Singh Tomar in you and we saw that father, lover, a friend in various roles from all your movies.

    That day, you had written the story of the bus conductor who was saying that your station is coming, but you are the person who fought against the disease and did Angregi Medium for us.

    Today, at this time of Lockdown, we lose you from this world, but before that, you made a better place for you in the heart of people. Yes, we miss you a little bit, we miss that smile and that way of talking. But sir, we love you more and would love you till the end.

    My Valentines Day

    Sangram Keshari Senapati February 14, 2018 2
    My Valentines Day

    Once I read a story about a bottle which floats like this and reached its destination. Then I saw the same thing in the movie Shibamani of Akkineni Nagarjuna.

    This is ValentinesDay, all are celebrating for that love, which needs proof in every single minute. But all those shown or written in those stories are for the time of reading or watching the movie.

    I don't like Valentine's day where we have to prove how much we love others, how much we could spend on them. I need a day, when some could love me like my parents, someone could trust me like my sister do. That day would become my Valentine's day and every day should be valentines day.

    Those who are celebrating in their ways, I never oppose them. Because they might love this way of love. But for a lover, every day should be valentines day. Every message he spread to others, should be the message of love and happiness.

    #RasagolaDibasa 2017

    Sangram Keshari Senapati July 07, 2017 0
    #RasagolaDibasa 2017
    Rasagola Dibasa Trend on Twitter

    On the last day of #RathaJatra, Lord Jagannatha returns to his Ratna Singhasana. This process is called as #Niladribije. On this day, he offered Rasagola to his wife Maa Mahalaxmi as a present. I've written something about Rasagola Dibasa previously. In the year of Nabakalebara of Lord Jagannatha, Odia people wish to celebrate #RasagolaDibasa as this is offering to Maa Laxmi on this day. On 30th July 2015, the 1st Rasagola Dibasa celebrated in different places in Odisha as well as in the other places outside Odisha by the Odias.

    Pahala, the famous place for the Rasagolas in Odisha a small place in between Bhubaneswar and Cuttack. There were different stalls for the Rasagola on this day in our capital as well as in some other cities. At that time more and more responses make a successful trend in twitter. Rasagola Dibasa was trending on No1 position in all over India. After that, some Bengalies stated, Rasagola was initiated in WestBengal. But with some references, that statement had been proved wrong. In Dandi Ramayana, Balarama Das wrote about Rasagola. Hence Rasagola is originated from Odisha. But, according to the taste and making process Rasagola and their Rosogulla are different. Let's leave that part.

    After the successful campaign and celebration of 1st Rasagola Dibasa, last year we also celebrate it on the occasion of Niladribije of Lord Jagannatha. This year also, we celebrate Rasagola Dibasa for the 3rd time. But initially, there was no such response by the government and the media in Odisha. Even at the time of trending in the morning time they didn't post a tweet about Rasagola or Rasagola Dibasa. But, Rasagola Dibasa started trending in no 1 position by 8 am in the morning.


    More number of Odia tweeple used the hashtag #RasagolaDibasa. Sand artist Sudarsana Pattnaik tweeted with his sand art about Rasagola Dibasa.

    After that, some Bengali people tweeted something about Rasagola. Some created polls about Rasagola.
    Some also criticized about Rasagola Diabasa. Sanjukta Basu, a lady from West Bengal also criticized the pronunciation of Rasagola.
    For her tweet, some people arguing with her and then, she tweeted some photos form Chilika.
    Again she also tweeted about the Origin of Rasagola is from Odisha.
    Like that some National Media also tweeted about the confusion of Odisha and Bango disputes about Rasagola.


    But our own state media didn't respond to this issue. So, I wrote to them also. They are the news media form Odisha and they should help to spread about Rasagola and Rasagola Dibasa in our state first. Due to a lack of promotion, more and more places and our cultures are going to die in our state. Odisha is the origin of Rasagola, but more and more in our state also believe that it was initiated from Bengal. At first, we have to spread all the news in our state first. So, they could believe in our own culture and our things. But, the media don't have time to telecast a report on Rasagola Dibasa, but they all telecast the same news at a time with their 1st tape video about some issue and telling repeatedly that, they got the 1st visuals. But the same visuals were telecasting in different channels also. In a 30 minutes news, they repeatedly told the same news, but don't have 1 to 2 minutes to say about Rasagola Dibasa.

    Fortunately, some media people responded to my tweets and prepare some articles about the Rasagola and Rasagola Dibasa.

    Sambit Dash, a reporter from OTV prepared an article about the trends of #PakhalaDibasa and #RasagolaDibasa in twitter.

    Kanak News collect some interesting tweets about Rasagola Dibasa by our Odia tweeple and made an article.
    Odisha Sun Times, an online media also prepared a report on Rasagola Dibasa. They collect the interview of Soumya Ranjan Pattnaik and Ashok Chandra Panda as well.
    Kalinga TV also prepared a report about Rasagola Dibasa.
