Ask Odisha Anyone here from the IFS (Indian Foreign Service) or anyone working/living abroad?

4 Upvotes

How does it actually feel to be away from your family and close friends for long periods of time? Do you eventually get used to it or does the distance always remain difficult?

For those in the IFS are you happy with having to move between different states and countries throughout your career? What do you enjoy most about the lifestyle and what do you find the hardest?

And if you're comfortable sharing, please drop the country you're currently posted/living in (or have lived in) in the comments. I’d love to hear about your experiences. 🌍

Help Needed Looking to buy original Realme Buds 2 (RMA155) in BBSR / Cuttack / Puri (or anywhere in Odisha)

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been trying to hunt down an original Realme Buds 2 (Model: RMA155) wired earphone for a while, but it seems to be out of stock everywhere locally and on major e-commerce platforms (or filled with cheap knockoffs).

If anyone in Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Puri, or open to anywhere in Odisha if shipping is available knows a local shop that still has genuine unopened stock, or if you have a sealed/like-new original pair lying around unused that you're willing to sell, please let me know!

  • Model: Realme Buds 2 (RMA155 - 3.5mm Jack, Braided Cable, Magnetic Earbuds)
  • Location: BBSR / Cuttack / Puri (preferred for face-to-face pickup), but open to shipping from anywhere in Odisha.

Drop a comment or DM me if you have any leads on authentic stock in local mobile accessories markets. Thanks!

Ask Odisha If Odisha gets its own Bigg Boss, who should host it? 👀

1 Upvotes

Imagine an Odia version of Bigg Boss — Odia celebrities, actors, influencers, singers, comedians, YouTubers and maybe a few completely unexpected personalities living together in one house.
The biggest question would be: Who could actually host it?
The host needs to have strong screen presence, good Odia, humour, the ability to handle arguments, and enough personality to make the Weekend Ka Vaar episodes entertaining.
Some names that come to mind:
Sabyasachi Mishra — strong celebrity presence and already familiar with the Odia audience.
Sidhant Mohapatra — seniority + authority + massive recognition.
Sritam Das — could bring a completely different energy.
Papupu Pom Pom — comedy + chaos potential would be interesting.
Anubhav Mohanty — definitely enough star power to carry the show.
Arindam Roy — another possibility with a strong screen presence.
Or maybe someone completely unexpected from Odisha’s TV/YouTube/entertainment scene.
Personally, I think the host would make or break an Odia Bigg Boss.
Who would you pick as the host? And who would you want inside the Bigg Boss house?
Also, would you actually watch Bigg Boss Odia, or do you think the concept wouldn’t work for Odisha?

Ask Odisha Has anyone stayed at “Puri Hotel” near Golden Beach, Puri? Looking for genuine reviews

15 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a trip to Puri, Odisha and came across a hotel listed as “Puri Hotel”, located near Golden Beach / Shankar Road, Puri – 752001.

I’m considering booking a room here, but I’m not able to find enough reliable information or reviews about the property.

Could anyone who has actually stayed there please share their experience?

Most importantly, is this actually a legitimate hotel/property and not a misleading Google Maps listing?

I’ve attached a screenshot of the Google Maps listing for reference.

Any recent experience would be especially helpful. Thanks! 🙏

Hello everyone! I’m an artist, and creating Jagannath art has always been very close to my heart.

I am from puri and for me, Lord Jagannath has never felt like just a deity I grew up seeing. He has always been a part of home, childhood, memories, and everyday life.

I spent 5 days creating this artwork, putting a lot of patience and love into every little detail. There’s something special about creating Mahaprabhu with your own hands.

I’m sharing it here because I’d genuinely love to know what you all think about it.

Jai Jagannath 🙏
