On being Oriya

I am an Oriya. Which is another way of saying that I hail from the south-eastern Indian state of Orissa. You might remember it from news footage of 1999 when a super cyclone killed thousands there.

So here’s what you always wanted to know about an Oriya but were afraid to (read ‘didn’t bother to’) ask.

Vijayendra explores his Oriya identity. Being a fellow Oriya, I really enjoyed this post !
