r/Bhubaneswar

Why is it that people can't just leave me alone? Why is it that they have a say in everything?

My uncle asked for me, I came down and he said "You have black spots on your face. You don't look good in pictures." I was surprised that he called me for this. I thought something was important. He showed me how to make a paste and apply it on my face so that I would look fairer. I stood there following whatever he instructed me. "Kapur, milk and banana, mix it well and apply on your face twice." He is such a nice person that he showed me how to apply it and massage on his leg and I was standing there watching his shenanigans while he was cursing Mama Nana whenever she tried to stop him. "Your face doesn't have a natural glow. Eat clove a day and there will be a glow on your face coming naturally within from you. You don't have to wear make-up."

I listened and came back but I couldn't even say what happened down there to my mother because obviously she would say he didn't say anything wrong. I had my lunch, half-crying and half-eating trying to cope with it. After having lunch with much difficulty, I came down and was about to go to my another piuci's house. He asked me "Did you apply that?" I said "I will not do that right now" and went to my piuci's place.

After writing this I actually feel good right now 😮‍💨

Hello i got my job in tcs Bhubaneswar in patia and i was scrolling through online listing and i got depressed because all of the properties were not maintained and very dirty in the pictures. I am looking for 1bhk house near tcs Bhubaneswar. Please give me any references or help

I am 22 from delhi and i just completed my college and i dont know anyone in patia.

Also give me like area review how is it and how is the lifestyle there.

Anyone aware how can we take membership for swimming in the new chandrashekharpur BMC facility behind Utkal hospital?

Soon college is going to start in BBSR and the heat is all time high. I took a loan for my clg course as my parents couldn't afford the hefty fees and will shift to a hostel soon. We do have a AC at home and i know my "Ac ka sukoon" is short lived now.

Ac hostel is available but it's 60k more per year. I want to convey this to me Dad but it will drain him financially. Also hostel and mess fees is not covered in the loan. I know, as a student we should avoid luxury and embrace the hardships for a better future, but still am confused a bit.

As the title suggest

How many of you guys are working or in final year of college

To everyone in this city who has ever slowed their car for an animal in apathy on the road, or left water outside their door in this heat — this post is for you.

I want to talk about stray animals in Bhubaneswar. Not as a debate, not as a political talking point — but as a question of empathy. What do we, as a city, actually feel when we look at them?

I ask because something has been sitting heavy with me. The Supreme Court has, once again, issued statements about curbing the presence of street dogs — conveniently timed, as it often is, around moments when the public is asking harder questions of the government. And I keep returning to the same thought: by the very logic being applied here, humans — who cause incomparably more harm, more violence, more destruction — should be the first candidates for relocation and rehabilitation. The selective application of "public safety" has never been about safety. It has always been about who we decide deserves space.

Bhubaneswar has always shared its streets with strays. That hasn't changed. What has changed is their condition — visibly, heartbreakingly worse. Between the heat, the neglect, and the noise around their very right to exist, these animals are suffering in plain sight.

If you are part of any group, shelter, feeding initiative, rescue network, or even an informal community of people who care — please reach out or drop a comment. I want to learn, contribute, and show up. Tell me where to go, who to call, what is already being done.

They cannot ask for help. So I'm asking on their behalf.

P.S. — Sorry for the long read.

Absolutely loving satirical state of states. 🤌🏼
