The Flag Bearers of Odisha Across the World

Not just being yet another city crowded with temples and known for droughts and cyclones, Bhubaneswar also has some extraordinarily talented people who have redefined the perception of all towards the state and realise the true beauty of temple architecture, the graceful Odissi and an indigenous variety of folk dances, its poignant music, its rich paintings and surprising sand art and sculpting! Not to forget some very out-of-the-box thoughts portrayed in films, acting and even in business and commerce that has become as essential to us as a gulp of water.

It may even take tremendous amount of parchments to enlist all of these game-changers down in a list, but here are some of the faces who could see the world in a way that was never seen before. Films: Nandita Das: From being an incomparable actress to an indomitable filmmaker, this daughter of Jatin Das (the world-renowned painter) has left her mark in the industry in a way that only few could ever think of achieving. Recognised as one of the best in her craft and awarded with many prestigious awards like Best Actress in 2002 Cairo International Film Festival for ‘Amaar Bhuvan’, Best Film & Screenplay Awards in 2008 Asian Festivals of First Films for ‘Firaaq’, she also happened to be an honorary jury of Cannes International Film Festival in 2005. Nandita Das She has been bestowed with the title ‘Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters’ - a very prestigious Civil Award, she also is  inducted into the Hall of Fame of the International Women's Forum, Washington DC, along with having an independent stamp as part of the project “Women of the World” in France, vouching her impact across the globe. Mira Nair: A name that has itself become the definition of subtlety, fearlessness and reality all merged into one, this woman has truly crossed oceans to reach the zeniths in the night sky, as true as the pole star. Mira Nair Born on 15 October 1957 in Rourkela to Amrit Nair (an Indian Administrative Officer) and Pravin Nair (an active social worker for illiterate children) she grew up with her two elder brothers right here in Bhubaneswar. She is a Padma Vibhushan and is an exceptional filmmaker, known for her films like Salaam Bombay!(nominated for Academy Awards in Best Foreign Film in 1989), The Namesake (Golden Aphrodite Award, Bulgaria for Best Film in 2007), Monsoon Wedding (Golden Lion Award, Venice Film Festival 2001), Mississippi Masala (Best Director & Critics Special Award in Venice & Sao Paulo International Film Festivals in 1991), which is just a miniscule mention to the very large verse of accomplishments she has achieved in recent times. Dance: Kelucharan Mohapatra: The very proponent of Odissi danceform across the nation, is world renowned as the ‘Indian Classical Guru’, also happened to be Padma Shri, Padma Vibhushan & Padma Vibhushan at the same time. He was born on 8th January, 1926 in Puri and breathed his last on 7th April 2004, in Bhubaneswar when he was 78 years old. Guruji-Kelucharan Notably known for his dances that took the viewers to the greatest realms of spiritual trance, he often quoted “The real dance must convey the feeling of undivided existence, that a spectator can feel that he is not different from the thing observed". He has been awarded as the ‘Kalidasa Samman’ award by the state of Madhya Pradesh. Literature: Fakir Mohan Senapati: Known  as ‘Utkala Byasa Kabi’ translated as ‘Odisha’s Supreme Poet’ is also regarded as the father of Odia Modern Literature and Odia Nationalism. Fakir Mohan_Senapati He was born in a middle class ‘khandayat’ family on 13th January 1843 in Balasore, and at a very early age had all the qualities of an accomplished novelist, having penned about the existing aberrations in the Odia society then. He also was a social reformist, philosopher and an educator, who also wrote about the various highs and lows in the social thinking of the people in his novels like ‘Chha Maana Aatha Guntha’ , ‘Prayaschita’ & ‘Mamu’  and how it could be reformed. His poem ‘Utkala Bhramanam’, that first appeared in 1892, literally meaning Tour of Odisha, in reality not a travelogue but a commentary on the state of affairs in the Odisha of that time, written in a satirical manner. He passed away at the age of 75, on 14 June 1918. He also has many colleges, schools, universities named after him as a value of respect like Fakir Mohan Senapati Autonomous College, Fakir Mohan University in Balasore. Art & Painting: Sudarsan Pattnaik: A diamond in the rough, right from his childhood even after having a troubled childhood, Sudarsan has not only made every person in Odisha proud with his legendary work in sand-art but also has cultivated this rare and once-obsolete art form amongst the masses by establishing "The Golden Sand Art Institute" which is first of its nature in India.

He is the only artist who has taken up a project of this kind. Several of Jatin Das's works have been donated to charity in India and abroad. He led the relief efforts at a village in Orissa, affected by the super-cyclone of 1999. National Television: Ananya Nanda: Ananya Nanda Born on 29th April, 2001 this Odia girl took the entire nation on toll with her amazing singing voice and the Indian Idol Season 2 winning witness to the fact, at the mere age of 16. She also happens to be a nerd and aspires to become a scientist one day. She also loves dancing and is often looked upon for her charmingly sweet aura, who has the modesty of a rabbit and the fierceness of a lion while performing. You go, girl! Business: Riteish Aggarwal: Ritesh Okay, his story may seem to you as if you’re watching yet another inspirational blockbuster movie, but this college dropout at 21 did wonders when he became the founder of OYO Rooms, an app as essential as a breath of air.

Now, OYO Rooms has been named India's largest budget hotel chain, currently launched in Malaysia.

Bollywood extravaganza of the year – Adnan Sami – Live in concert this March.

After four years, the maestro, Adnan Sami, is returning to South Africa for a much-anticipated concert.  Labelled as being one of the fastest keyboard players in the world, the internationally renowned singer, musician, music composer and actor will return to the stage for an unforgettable evening at the Durban ICC on 25th of March and Emperors Palace, Johannesburg on 26th of March, 2017.

Tickets for the show open at Computicket on Monday, 30th January.

Audiences are in for a treat once again as he performs a collection of his Bollywood blockbusters including Kabhi To Nazar Milao, Bhardo Jholi Meri and Lift Karaa De.

Apart from being the first person in musical history to play Indian classical music on the piano in a style he pioneered and created through the Santoor (a unique Indian instrument), he can also play over 35 musical instruments including the guitar, accordian, saxophone, sitar and violin.

Having been born and grown up in the UK, he has successfully merged Asian and Western music styles and instruments. While he does have a Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism and Political Science and an LLB, his passion for music was his inevitable calling.  He started playing the piano at the age of five and composed his first piece of music when he was nine years old.  He rose to fame during the 90’s with several hit albums and has also lent his vocals to many mainstream Bollywood films.

Over his career of 32 years, he has won many international awards including the Nigar Award, Bolan Academy Award and Graduate Award, as well as having his achievements acknowledged by the premier music channel, MTV who awarded him Breakthrough Artist of the Year in 2003.  He was also the youngest recipient of the Naushad Music Award for Excellence in Music.

In 2001, Adnan received the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from the Prime Minister of Pakistan.

His first single was released in 1986 with an English smash hit in the Middle East which went straight to the #1 position in its first week.  He was sixteen at the time and had written and recorded a song for the United Nations and UNICEF called Run For His Life.  This was followed by countless other hit singles and albums over the years.  Shortly after becoming a sensation, he was invited by a filmmaker to write music for an upcoming film.  This opened the doors for him to compose and sing for Hindi films and which led to him getting acting offers at the same time.  His work has associated him with the greatest names from the Indian Film and Music industry.

After taking a sabbatical and having undergone a full transformation by losing over 160kg, Adnan made a comeback in April 2007 with the smash hit album, Kisi In.

As a classical concert pianist, Adnan has performed before royalty such as the King of Sweden and King Hussein of Jordan and many important Heads of States.

Witness the extraordinary musical performance of Adnan Sami on 25th March at the Durban ICC and 26th March at the Centre Court, Emperors Palace in Johannesburg.  Tickets from R280 per person.  Bookings open on Monday, 30 January at Computicket online and outlet stores.
