Used to see these subways while passing by Lake Town but never knew they are so well maintained and clean. Good to see people using it and keeping it clean too. This whole area is such a vibe. Stood on the overbridge on a windy evening the other day just observing the city pass by. It was blissful!

Nobody is talking of Poonch

No mainstream is going to cover this but these fuckers have been shelling nonstop along the LoC & our own citizens are being casualties of war. But we are busy celebrating & glorifying a war. Don't get me wrong. Was a response necessary? Absolutely. But what should be done is we should get immediate protection for these people. They are our own citizens after all. So many casualties.

In context to my previous post in this sub , this is exactly what I meant. That there will be retaliation & innocent lives will be lost. The response was needed & I laud the Indian army for the step they took. But we must not overlook this & send protection as soon as possible. What is the best course of action now?

My Firsthand experience on facing prejudices in Odisha

My last post here were pictures of my travel to Puri. Bhabchilam post ta korbo kina, but at the end of the day mone holo tomader sathe ei experience ta share kori.
Me and my family were sitting on the beach early in the morning when two ferrywala approached us. Onara pearls bikri korchilen.
Amra jothariti boli je na amra kinbo na, they were like, 'Na kine niye Jaan, giye apnader Didi ke poraben.' Jeta shune we were really shocked. And the man was quite hostile. The other ferrywala then started saying, "Era bhabe eder chara amader puri cholbe na... Shob cholbe." Mind you we didn't utter a single reply. Then they started saying shit about us in odia amongst themselves. My mom knows odia quite well (She had a job posting there) so she told them to go away in odia. After which they left us. But in that moment amar sotti etto kharap laglo I really can't explain. From one pov I get why they were like that but also with the second comment was absolutely unnecessary.
The rest of the trip went really well. The auto dadas were really very helpful and respectful at the same time. We shared this story with one of them and they said sorry on their behalf 😭. They were like, "Bura maat maniye" and all that.
On our way back on the train, one of the passengers shared a similar story where they were verbally abused the moment they were realised to be bangali.
To be very frank, almost 60% of the tourist I saw in puri were bengali. Hell, there's even a freaking restaurant there named Soptopodi specialising on bengali cuisine. But this situation was so jarring je hotath amar nijeke kemon choto mone hocchilo, something which I've never faced especially for my ethnicity. Hopefully egulo jeno aar kauke face korte na hoy.
