There’s a nip in the air and a spring in the step of people as they plan for the weeks ahead. Travel tops the list for many, as they set out to explore some lesser-known destinations during what is clearly the best weather to hit the road. But this is also the time for festivals, and festivities, galore with no pandemic-related restrictions this year. We explore the myriad hues of winter in Odisha in our Cover Story. Winter's also time for the biggest fair of them all. In City Culture, we look at the Bali Jatra which makes a grand comeback after a pandemic-induced hiatus of two years. The bank of the Mahanadi in Cuttack is all set for the grand spectacle that is a celebration of commerce and culture. Talking of celebrations, there was plenty of it on display during Diwali. A photo feature captures a riot of colours and emotions as people celebrated the festival of lights without any Covid-19 restrictions this time. This edition of My City Links also brings you snapshots of what was the last solar eclipse of 2022. Although it was visible only partially in Odisha, the event saw an enthusiastic response from photographers and scientists as well as laypersons. The latest edition of the Bhubaneswar Runway Week, or BRW as it is popularly known, was a riot of colours and creativity. Read all about it in our Events section. In City Lights, we visit two villages in the Cuttack district and come back with a touching story of religious and cultural co-existence. In Transit Lounge, we host poetry sensation, Amandeep Singh. A visit to Bhubaneswar is always like a homecoming of sorts for the versatile poet who graduated in software engineering from a reputed institution in the city. In a freewheeling chat, he tells us about the transition from engineering to poetry, his experience so far, and his plans for the future. Screen Shots takes a close look at one aspect of the OTT phenomenon that is as stark as it is disturbing - the trend of content that often centres around the theme of explicit sex and violence. OTT content creators and people who have got hooked on the platforms weigh in on the trend and give their suggestions on the way ahead for an industry that is growing with each passing day
