The last sunrise of 2025.

Dear people of Tamil Nadu, Odisha is watching — and this appeal comes not with anger, but with hope and responsibility. The video of what happened to K Suraj is so horrific that we have chosen not to share it on social media, out of respect for his dignity and the conscience of the public. But the pain behind it cannot be hidden.

The minors involved in this case threatened Suraj who's from Odisha on the moving train, recording the intimidation. After reaching Tiruttani station, they forced him to a secluded spot near railway tracks, where three ha**ed him with sickles on his head, face, and left arm, causing deep cuts and heavy bl**ding; the fourth filmed, flashing a victory sign post-ass*ult. Suraj staggered to a road, where passersby alerted police; he received treatment at Tiruttani Government Hospital before transfer to Tiruvallur Government Medical College Hospital, where his condition stabilized from critical.

Police identified the four juveniles via the Instagram video they uploaded, detaining them that night near Gangai Amman temple on the Tiruttani-Arakkonam bypass while drinking. Three were remanded to Chengalpattu Juvenile Reformation School; one student was bailed out.

We appeal to the people of Tamil Nadu to raise a strong, collective voice and ensure that the law takes its strongest course against those responsible. Justice for K Suraj is justice for humanity — and a message that no Indian is ever a stranger in another Indian state.

Baripada's Binod Lohar, a 37-year-old auto driver, dedicates his time to offering free rides to the local hospital for the needy. Inspired by a personal encounter, he now ferries poor patients, the elderly, and disabled individuals, covering their travel costs from his own earnings. Lohar also volunteers as a blood donor and aids in arranging ambulance services.

According to a TOI report, 37-year-old autorickshaw driver Binod Lohar has been offering free rides to Pandit Raghunath Murmu Medical College and Hospital for over three months now. The service is meant for poor patients, the elderly, the infirm, and people with disabilities who cannot afford an auto ride. Lohar sets aside time every day for this. Between 11 am and 1 pm, and again for an hour after 4 pm, he ferries patients from the bus stand to the hospital and back without charging anything. For differently-abled persons, the service is available at any hour.

In most Odia households, the year doesn’t truly change at the year end. It changes the moment Bhagyadipa is taken down from the wall.

There’s a quiet ritual to it.
The old calendar—slightly faded, corners curled, marked with pencil notes and circles. I

Then comes the new Bhagyadipa.

Fresh pages. Bright colours. A new beginning.

The first thing we do isn’t admiring the pictures.
We flip straight to the festival pages.

Raja kabebe?
Dola kebe paduchi?
Kartika masa kete dina?
Dipaavali, Nuakhai, Rath Yatra—sabuthu age dekha jaye.

Dates are checked, discussed, sometimes debated. Someone always says, “Ei barsa ta Raja late achi!”
Another replies, “Nuakhai ta bhala dina re padichi.”

Then come the personal notes.
Birthdays of maa, baba, pila mananka.
Marriage anniversaries.
Shraddha dates.
Important vows and fasting days—carefully marked, just like every year.

Slowly, the calendar stops being new.
It starts becoming ours.

That simple act—marking dates together—brings a strange, warm happiness. Not loud, not flashy. Just reassuring. It reminds us that life is planned around togetherness, faith, and small family moments.

In a world full of digital reminders and phone notifications, Bhagyadipa still hangs quietly on the wall—constant, dependable, deeply Odia.

Because for us, a new year doesn’t begin with fireworks.
It begins with a calendar, a pencil, and the hope of celebrating another year—together.
