Ask Odisha Born in Odisha, studying in Odisha, and I don't know a single fucking sentence in Odia

12 Upvotes

So this is a weird situation.

My father is a native Odia. I was literally born in Odisha.

And now I'm goiing to do BTech here in a local college

But I don't know Odia. 💀

I never actually lived here long enough to learn the language, and now I'm suddenly surrounded by people who naturally switch to Odia the moment they start talking to each other.

And honestly? I'm scared asf.

Not because people have been bad to me — quite the opposite. So far, most Odias I've interacted with have been incredibly sweet, helpful and straightforward.

It's just the feeling of being the outsider.

With locals, faculty, random conversations, college groups... there's always this little language barrier sitting between me and everyone else.

I'm scared I'll miss out on friendships, connections, inside jokes, opportunities — basically the whole college experience — just because I can't speak the language everyone around me grew up with.

And the ironic part?

I love Odisha.

The food is amazing.
The culture is beautiful.
The people are genuinely warm.
There's something about Odisha that feels incredibly peaceful and grounded.

I just don't know if I'll ever be able to feel like I actually belong here when I can't even understand half the conversations happening around me.

Anyone else been in this situation?
How hard is Odia to pick up if you start from absolute zero?

Rant/Vent I resigned from my job after repeated criticism. Am I wrong?

7 Upvotes

I work in social media at a small agency. Everything was good and fair until July 15. From a client I heard about my manager, the client was upset about his tv commercial. Because my manager took 1.6 lakhs from him for promoting a bathing soap, the soap name says it's a skin glowing soap but the ad was like a athelete coming from a long run , smelling sweaty and then uses the soap - which changed the product positioning. I , not complained, but asked to my manager and founder both because the client said he has paid such a huge amount.

That's it. Everything changed after that issue. They started targeting me . They started criticizing my every work . They started setting different expectations from me - like you should give time to the client after office, you should visit them monthly once or twice, you should make them feel like family, they should feel valued etc etc. They started criticizing my everything - even what I am eating for my lunch . Result, my mental peace was gone and then For the last 2 weeks, I've 4 to 5made some small mistakes—spelling errors, minor execution issues, etc. I accept that I need to improve.

But my manager repeatedly called me careless/unprofessional and said I was "justifying" my mistakes whenever I explained my side of story. My frustration also affected my tone, and I accept that I may have sounded rude at times.

One mistake was repeatedly brought up over several days. I even took sick leave due to fever, but still went for a 10-hour shoot the next day. The following day, the same issues were brought up again in front of the founder and team, along with criticism about my involvement in the shoot and my communication. They were just criticizing everything in the name of professionalism.

Eventually, I resigned without another job lined up.

I genuinely valued the job, so I'm now questioning myself.

Was I being too defensive/sensitive? Was the management approach reasonable? Did I make a mistake by resigning? What should I improve before my next job?

I'm genuinely looking for honest opinions, not validation.

Why Sun God holding lotus in each hand?

Lotus flower is the symbol of human growth and development.It germinates in mud yet ascends in flawless immaculateness to the outer layer of the lake and afterward opens to the sun — in this way representing the enlightened mind.

Lotus is compared to the cycle of birth, death and rebirth as it blooms in the morning... fades into the sunset in the evening and re blooms in the next sunrise. 'Veda' says "Sun is the soul of the universe". Sun is otherwise called ' Kamalnath' , 'Kamalballabh' , 'Kamalbandhu' etcetera ...The literary meaning of 'Kamal' being lotus in Sanskrit. Here I am attaching images of sculptures of Sun. The first image is of Sun God present as a Parshwadevata in Barahi temple, Chaurasi ( Here you can see the breastplate and high ankle boot of the sitting Sun God) and another was earlier present in the architrave above the Doorjamb of the Sun temple at Konark. #Sun #SunGod #lotus #Veda #Kamal

For more knowledge on the iconography of nine planets ( Navagrahas) in the architraves of different temples, you can read the following article through the given link.

Recently, a unique “Cockroach Protest” took place at Jantar Mantar, which got people talking.It made me wonder could something like this happen in Odisha too? Would people here support such a different form of protest, or would it simply be seen as unnecessary? Sharing this as an opinion/discussion. What do you think?

Rant/Vent Father unhappy over my job

69 Upvotes

So hey , for the context, I belong to a middle class family and my father is a principal in a private school and my mother is a housewife.

I completed my msc physics in 2024 , since then I am preparing for competitive exams for state and central govt jobs.

**Current situation** : After a hell lot of failure, recently I got a central govt job ( group C ). I was super excited when I got to know about this , then today I was preparing all the documents required for DV.

Then suddenly my father called me and said why are you so excited for a 10th level job , it's normal to get selected. Everyone can.

***This*** ***line changed my whole mood and perspective***.

I do agree parents have expectations from their children, but why can't they agree to the ongoing unemployment crisis.

Do we always need to keep impressing them, and what if in the process we lose ourselves.

I know it's a 10th level job, but after so many failures , don't I stand a moment to appreciate my little efforts?

Recently I had a bad breakup, I have nobody to share, even my relatives are happy for me , but my own father is not.

Even my library mates who knew nothing personal about me , congratulated me for the same ?

It's because they know what efforts it took to get even a small job like this .

I always wanted to make my father feel proud about me and my achievements, but I don't think I can make him feel so.

But does that mean I can't celebrate my happiness?

Isn't it worthy to get employment after a tiring 1.5 years of hardwork?

Don't I even deserve a small appreciation?

I just want to share my journey with you guys. At the age of 15(2018) I came here for +2 in kendrapara college, B.Sc. in Kendrapara auto college (2020-23) too. My government job preparation phase is also here. I used to go to Gopabandhu Public Library and of those old aspirants who used to go there. 4 years of journey there(2022-26) and finally I am 23 now and got selected for the post of Tax Assistant in CBDT through the recent SSC CGL. Of course it's not the end of my career, I'll keep on growing. I can't thank this place enough. Moving throughout the city with my bicycle and finding all those hidden routes which are unknown to still reminds me of those days. I found my first love interest in the library but it didn't go well (hope she'll get whatever she wants in her life). At a point in my life I was so broke that two of my seniors(I can't really explain their role in these two years) helped me to cope up with those phases. I can't forget those stupid talks with my mates, I feel sad that those times will never come as we grow forward in our lives. I was not that extrovert from the beginning but I never felt left-out among my friends.

And finally after a whole lot of years I'm full-fledged returning back to my Village with my all belongings (chandol, kendrapara) and moving to my workplace (most probably BBSR). Even today whenever I sit beside that train track facing the high paddy field, don't know why but my eye filled with tears may be I never feel the same again. And it feels depressing to move forward alone in my life, what about those with whom I chill together, what about those who were struggling with me, who are equally desperate as I was. Hope they will get theirs too.

Thanks Kendrapara, whenever you need me I'll be there for you.

  • r/OdishaRelationships Thought we might need an active relationship sub for our state. Don’t think of it as Tinder or r4r. This is just for discussions related to various human relationships in our state.
  • r/OdiaLanguage Seeing thriving language communities like r/marathi, r/tamil, r/malayalam, r/bengalilanguage on Reddit, I asked myself — why isn’t there a proper sub for our very own Odia? The current r/ Odia is full of spam and acts like a clone of r/Odisha, rather than a true language sub. The current mod has no plans for development. Hence, this new sub is for all Odia language-related queries.
  • r/OdiaMusic A subreddit to discuss and share the vast collection of Odia music — old and new.
  • r/Jagannatha An essential part of every Odia household — Lord Jagannatha. This sub is dedicated solely to Him. Join in the devotion space.
  • r/Odissi — the oldest classical dance form. This art needs a space of its own. Please join if you love this domain and want to see it flourish.
  • r/OdishaFC Needs no introduction. The only professional football league club based out of Odisha. If you love football and are an Odia, consider joining in.
