Seventy-five years is a short time in the history of a city. In the case of Bhubaneswar, however, this has been enough for its evolution from a sleepy and thinly-populated but neatly laid out state capital to a modern and bustling city that is now a centre of commerce, education, and sports. In our Cover Story, we trace the early years of Bhubaneswar's existence, its anointment as state capital, and the subsequent decades that have shaped the city into what it is today. Dreams have a way of coming true if one perseveres and works hard. City Biz brings you the story of two women who came together with a shared passion to preserve and promote the dying art of Odisha's handloom through their brand, Hatbunai. City Biz also features Charkha, a homegrown fashion label that is traditional and modern at the same time. The City Lights section brings you snapshots from the global trade show, Resurgent Odisha 2024, and the launch of a coffee table book on Bhubaneswar. Trying to achieve meaning and joy in life is often an unending quest in a fast-paced world. A book on Ikigai, the Japanese expression for a passion that gives value and joy to life, tries to help readers rediscover the purpose of living. Read more about it in City Literature. With September 8 being celebrated as World Physiotherapy Day, City Health takes a closer look at this modern medical science and the remedies it can offer. Our CityZen for this edition is a person who is fondly referred to as the “Radio Man” and it is not too difficult to understand why once you visit his small shop tucked away in the bylanes of Cuttack. Afzal bhai, who has dealt with audio products for over 40 years, talks about his repair business, the challenges he faces, and what keeps him going. In ScreenShots, we catch up with three talented Odia artistes who were associated with one of the biggest box office blockbusters that Bollywood has produced - Stree 2.

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.

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.

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.
