New Aerois Coffee Shop AU Lore just dropped

This coffee shop is designed by lucius, modeled after his dead goth bf

All the staff have their pronouns on their name tags and Nova she/they, Lucius he/they, Quill he/him, Aila she/they, Sentry She/her 

They all have aprons in colours/prints of their choosing (Aila’s is her tartan, Nova’s has clouds on, Sentry’s is green and floral)

A lot of the staff have additional patches and pins on their aprons, Nova has the bigest collection including Nasa pins and bisexual pride pins 

Tiangong is Nova’s emotional support dog, blue pitbull, rescue ex fighting dog, big scar on one leg, also has a name tag on their jacket with “Tiangong they/them” 

Aila and Nova share a flat, Quill and Sentry share a flat and Lucius lives in the apartment above the coffee shop. When they get together Nova will move in with Thalia in her huge house and Quill and Lucius will get a house together, then maybe Aila and Sentry move in together??? 

Valla is Arval’s adopted daughter, they come in regularly, Valla uses the wifi to do school work 

The wifi password is pineapple, it is written on a chalkboard and they are happy for students and business people to sit in all day and work and only get 1 or 2 drinks. They have very fast wifi

As soon as Valla is old enough they give her a weekend job in the coffee shop and train her 

Obviously everyone is very well paid, allowed as many breaks as they like 

Lucius owns the place and is the manager, Oriya is 2nd in command but does most of the manager jobs, she will actually tell people to do their jobs instead of just standing around doing nothing

Aila is the security guard, spends a lot of time running around carrying big boxes of stock, she also made some of the furniture 

Sentry mostly baking cooking cleaning, sometimes on tills, when she has had too much coffee she gives very passionate friendly customer service, the shop is full of plants, sentry is the only one who waters them   

Quill loves gossiping and chatting to customers, gives his number and/or twitter handle out to a lot of customers. He helps lucius count stock and do paperwork 

Nova has a phd in astrophysics at the age of 20 and is using it to work full time in a coffee shop. She likes to take apart and upgrade all of the equipment, at least once a week she falls in love with an attractive customer 

Lucius has a fine art degree and painted all the art in the shop. He spends a lot of time standing around giggling with Quill, he runs social media for the shop and spends a lot of time making latte art and taking photos 

Lucius’ mom and dad are probably still alive 

Edea sometimes just walks in in full motorbike getup and makes herself a drink, she also sometimes sleeps in a camp bed in the stockroom 

The stockroom is in the basement and is often called “Lucius’ secret basement” 

Kyrie is half Thalia’s adopted daughter and half her house mate. She spends a lot of time in the record store next door, she runs a stan twitter account of the bands she likes. One day she will be brave enough to order her own drinks but only from Quill 

Big cat is a maine coon that Kyrie carries around in a big rucksack or on a lead, he gets on very well with Tiangong 

Yes obviously pets are allowed in the coffee shop, they even serve dog cookies sometimes 

Listening to the music here is like playing russian roulette because they made have massive a team collab playlist, one min its cave town (lucius’ pick) the next it’s five hours of raw bagpipes (Aila) and then it’s fall out boy (Nova)  

Nova’s mom’s cafe is just down the road, Nova often spends lunch there, often bringing back little packed lunches for her coworkers 

Howard is the only one technically qualified to be making food so he does most of the cooking and baking but he did train everyone pretty well. They tend to hire people based off of how much they like them rather than how qualified they are

Yes the whole stormchaser crew including all the wolf pack work here, there are usually about 6 people on shift at one time, lots of staff means everyone gets all the time off they want, the main officers usually put in more hours than anyone else tho 

Maximillion Taldross came in one time, Quill fell in love, gave him his number,he called once and then never heard from him again. Apparently he’s dating Valla’s biological dad now? No one knows what he does????

Thalia is a regular customer because she fancies Nova, she drives a silver people carrier she calls the twin star. She has a lot of money to spend on coffee and petrol, don’t ask where she gets it  

Arydan is the manager at the Starbucks in town Lucius will sometimes go to Starbucks (he says the its bc he likes the design on the cups but he's just there to look at arydan bc he fancies him) before work and then everyone will be like “welcome home cheater”

That's all for now but I will probably add to it. If anyone writes or draws anything in this I will come into their home and kiss them on the forehead, that's a threat.

The Legend of Baji Raut

On a day after October 10, 1938, at the Khannagar cremation ground in Cuttack, seven bullet-ridden bodies lay burning on a single funeral pyre. One of them was Baji Raut. He was 12.

Beholding it a 24-year-old revolutionary Oriya poet’s heart caught fire and what followed was Baji Raut – a long narrative poem that went on to become a classic that inspired generations and led to the birth of a legend…. The legend of a boatman-boy who fell to the bullets of British troops for resisting them to cross the river near his village by denying them the ferry boat.

The poet was Sachidananda Routray, popularly known as Sachi Routray who was later conferred with Padma Shree in 1962, Sahitya Akademi Award in 1963, Soviet Land Nehru Award in 1965 and Jnanpith Award in 1986. He died at the age of 88 at his residence in Mission Road, Cuttack on August 21, 2004.

Baji Raut won nationwide acclaim after Indian English poet and author Harindranath Chattopadhyay rendered it into English – The Boatman Boy in 1942. Later it was published in The Boat Man Boy and Forty Poems by Sochi Raut Roy in December 1954.

In the 33-page long Translator’s Notes dated February 15, 1942 published along with the anthology by Prabasi Press, Calcutta – 9 Harindranath Chattopadhyay wrote: “When that ugly and blood curling incident – the shooting and bayonetting of Dhenkanal boatmen – took place Sochi arrived on the scene with a mighty song celebrating the courage of those boatmen, the cowardice of the tyrants who slew them, and specially the immortal example of young boatman boy Baji Raut of barely twelve, whose name has now become a household one in the homes of revolutionary thinkers and writers. This song of Sochi’s begins with the powerful invitation to the tyrant:  

“Shoot, shoot as steadily as you can.  Our breasts are bared to your bullets!

Keep aside your wooden lathis, for we damn it all. Our breasts are made of rocks!”

The Song caught on, even as flames catch on in a forest-lighting up all the night with its lurid glare! Thousands and thousands sang it – it rang like a message of release struck from a giant gong hung from the ceiling of the firmament. It was not a song anymore; it became a machine-gun-a dangerous weapon which must be withheld. The song was proscribed in the state. It still is. But its effects on the masses have been ineffaceable”.

In a prelude to the Anthology – The Background of the “Boatman Boy” - Sachidananda Routray wrote: “The hero of the major poem in this book is a boatman boy of barely twelve, namely Baji Raut who fell a martyr to imperialist bullets of British Raj and its feudal underlings in India. He was but an ordinary human being, a mere dot in the vast multitude of man. But he has now grown to be a great force or should I say a mighty institution that inspires and vitalises a nation!

Further describing “The Daring boy of Dhenkanal”, Rautray wrote: “Baji Raut, born at the village of Nilakanthapur in Dhenkanal state in Orissa, was then barely twelve. He came from a poor family and had none to look after him except his poor old mother.

The fateful night of October 10, 1938 came. It had been raining incessantly for the last three days. The night was dark and the sky and the hills looked ogrish every time the patterns of the cloud changed. Baji was fast asleep on the banks of Brahmani River inside the little thatched shed of his ferry boat fastened to a tree. He had been posted there by the Praja Mandal as a sentinel to watch over the ‘ghat’ and to see that the boat was not used by the troops of the State Durbar to cross the river carrying out their murderous game of killing and looting people and burning down the houses of the houses of peaceful villagers across the river who were found sympathising with the Praja Mandal workers.

At the dead of the night, the police troops arrived at the bank of the river where Baji’s little boat was fastened………. They roused Baji Raut and demanded his boat to be taken across………. But the little hero stood undaunted and an inspired voice rang out – “This boat of mine belongs to the Praja Mandal. It cannot be hired out to you- the enemy of the people”. ………… One of them shook his tiny body violently while another struck his head with the heavy butt of his gun……. His skull was fractured and blood was oozing profusely. However, he did not succumb immediately. He got up, jumped to the river bank from the boat tied ashore, and called out to the workers of the Praja Mandal……. Soon after, other workers of the Praja Mandal appeared in the scene. They fastened the rope of the boat tightly to their waist and stood on the bank like trees deeply rooted in the soil. The police cut the rope that fastened the boat and rowed away…… After rowing away the boat a few yards the troops loaded their guns and fired a volley at the silent crowd standing in the bank. A few were killed instantly and many were wounded fatally.

Baji Raut, Hurushi Pradhan, Lakshman Mullick, Raghu Nayak, Guri Nayak, Nata Mullick and Fagu Sahu were among the brave deads who fell martyrs to imperialist bullets……. The dead bodies of the martyrs were later brought to Cuttack, the capital of Orissa and after the post mortem, were cremated on a single pyre by the author and his friends”.

“The poem that follows seeks to immortalise heroic sacrifice and the burning patriotism of the young hero Baji Raut who stands today as a supreme symbol of deathless struggle against the forces of darkness and reaction”, Routray wrote in the seven-page-long prelude dated September, 1942.

Exactly forty-four years later Friends Publishers, Cuttack printed the first edition of Surendra Mohanty’s Patha O Pruthivi in 1986.

Mohanty, one of the leading modern fiction writers in Odia language who had 50 books written in different genres, including some in English received the Central Sahitya Akademi Award for his magnum opus – Nilashaila. He was also conferred with Padma Shree.

Mohanty was also a parliamentarian. He was Member of Rajya Sabha 1952-57 and 1978-1984. He was also elected to the Lok Sabha from Dhenkanal in 1957 and from Kendrapada in 1971. He died at his residence in Shelter Square on December 21, 1990.

Written in the form of a memoir - Patha O Pruthivi – a book of 566 pages earned the Odisha Sahitya Akademi Award. In Page 244, he recollected how he visited Nilakanthapur and met the mother of Baji Raut and queried about her son’s death. 

According to Mohanty, while narrating about her son's death on that fateful day, she said; "On that day, Baji had neither gone to the ferry ghat nor had held the ropes of the boat. He was standing under a tree in our backyard, on the river bank and watching the villagers holding onto the ropes of the boat. The river was in spate. The boat was going up and down with the rising waves. When the police troops fired the shots, a stray bullet came and hit Baji and he fell down on the spot".

 Mohanty then concluded: “Tenuh Pulice Fauzku Pratirodh Karibaku Jai Baji Raut Je Goolichotareh Sahid Hoijaichi – Eha Eka Sahityaka Kalpana Matra (Hence, that Baji Raut was martyred by bullet shots while preventing police troops is just a literary fiction)”.

Be that as it may. But Baji Raut has gone down in history as a classic case of literary fiction transcending facts. That is where fiction rises higher than facts and fiction is chosen over fact.

No wonder the Government of India in Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav -an initiative to celebrate and commemorate 75 years of independence and the glorious history of its people, culture and achievements named Baji Raut among the ‘Unsung Heroes’. 

“Baji Rout who was martyred on 12 October 1938 at the age of 12 only while peacefully resisting the British troop to cross the river in his village by denying them the ferryboat, is the youngest in the history of freedom struggle in India to gain martyrdom……. The killing of Baji became a sensation in Odisha and he became a legend”, the ‘Unsung Heroes Details” says.

Pathani Samantha

Pathani Samantha Oriya astrologer

Pathani Samanta or Mahamahopadhyaya Samanta Chandrashekhar Singh Harichandan Mohapatra was an astrologer and scholar born in 1935 in the Nayagarh district of Odisha. In the suburbs of Utkal, he is better known as Pathani Samanta. He was adept at accurately calculating the daily and annual rotations of the sun, moon, planets, etc., and determining the exact time of solar eclipses and lunar eclipses. The Pathani Samanta register is also used in his name, which helps in calculating the future according to the position of the zodiac, planets, stars, etc.

Lifetime-- He was born on December 13, 1935, on the eighth day of Krishna Poush in the Khandapada dynasty of Chandrashekhar. Believing that the boy was born from the offering of Mahadev Sri Sri Chandrasekhar in Khuntupada village near Khandapada, his parents named him Chandrasekhar. He was preceded in death by two daughters and a son. As a child he was indifferent, attentive, focused and diligent and generous. He received his childhood education from Guru Kritibas Rath and Sanskrit from Guru Pandit Anand Khadanga. Chandrashekhar's father was a mathematician at the time. He had a deep knowledge of mathematical astrology. Chandrashekhar learned from his father through mathematical astrology. He studied ancient astrology, studied the movements of the stars, and invented fine instruments. The theory that he came to the observation of the constellations of distant planets with the help of two astronomers had many similarities with the theory of ancient Sanskrit astrology. His own theory proves that the position of the constellation has changed since the days of the counting of ancient Indian astronomers. According to his new basic calculations, he composed the Siddhanta Darpan Pothi.

Marriage with Enji - Outside

I will not talk about details of their marriage. This is a HC about how Aois marriage with En/ji is viewed from outside.

DISCLAIMER: THIS POST MENTIONS TRIGGER HEAVY CONTENT SO BE WARNED

Enji was careful. He knew to reach his goal he would have to take drastic meassures and for that he had a special marriage contract set up with Aoi. She was not allowed to ever slander his name and spread a bad image of him. Aside of that he forced her to cut ties with previous friends, especially Mas/aru Bak/ugo @calmoxidization and Kouichi Tsubasa @silent-snow-angel . With Masaru being like a brother to her and witnessing how Aoi was taken away he was probably the greatest threat to End/eavours public image. Kouichi as her previous partner was also a hindrance and so especially these two had to be cut off from her. To Aoi remained only her mother and her father, tho contact to her mother was also not something Enji ever was particularly happy about. After the marriage the press somehow died down, mostly due to the influence of Enji, and the name of Shirayuki Hime was not mentioned again.

Even as she gave birth to her children press about it was set low to not cause too much spotlight on the family. Only as Shouto seemed to be a worthy sucessor Enji allowed his son to be known as his offspring, tho the boy himself was kept away from the Media. Meanwhile Aoi was alone, cut off from her previous positive contacts and had only her mother to talk to, but as her plea for Aoi to finally leave Enji became more eminent, Aois husband forbid her to contact her mother ever again.

Aois hospitalisation was kept a secret, much due to the pressure from Enji and so the whole incident ended up being only known to the family and now Izu/ku Mid/oriya and Ka/tsuki Ba/kugo.

Aoi is still not allowed to talk to anyone about the abuse she endured or anything close to it, usually either lying or trying to quickly change the topic. The only people from her side who know about the terrible things she was put through are her Therapist, Doctor, Caretaker and her mother.

Aoi is incredibly anxious that Enji will completely lose his mind over her daring to ever say anything bad about him. Though he isn’t concerned about being the most approuchable and charismatic Hero, he does know that it’s important to keep a clean record and at least clean image in public.

Gitanjali

The Gitanjali Express departs from Mumbai CST right on the stroke of sun up. Yet, walking into the station, there will be no bleary eyes on my face despite the fact that I will not have slept very well the previous night. How can one sleep well when there is a train journey to embark on in the morning? I will be tossing and turning in my bed, all the while drawing imaginary pictures of the events that are soon to unfold. The chain of thought will go something like this.

Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus in all its grandeur will first blow me away. I will wonder what Queen Victoria herself thought of it. Before walking in, I will also take a moment to think of all the wonderful station buildings that came of the British Raj.

Next, I will perhaps catch a glimpse of the inbound Thane local. A moment or two here to ponder over how in all the worlds greatest cities , there is always a railway that keeps them moving. London, New York, Mumbai are all of the same brethren. Knowing that this is certainly not the last I’ve seen of the locals for the morning, I will head off in search of the Gitanjali.

I will find her and my heart will flutter in the manner of a hopeless romantic. 30 hours in her company, all the way to Howrah.  As ever, I will be well and truly gripped by the Mumbai departure. With great excitement I will watch the local stations whiz by as blurs of office goers and local trains. I will try to remember all the station names. Masjid, Sandhurst Road, Byculla. Parel next? No Currey Road and then Parel. Dadar followed by Matunga, Sion and Kurla.

I will experience also, one of the thrills that is unique to Mumbai. The 6 abreast railway lines and the local trains that attempt to race you all the way out to the far flung edges of the city. Kalyan Junction, where we will veer onto the Igatpuri line. Then I will be beheld by the drop dead gorgeous views of the Thull ghat crossing, perhaps over breakfast from the pantry. A thought about how there are very few activities better than watching the world go by from the window of a train, will cross my mind. If I am attentive enough I will notice the Mumbai bound Imperial Mail cross us.

Igatpuri used to herald a loco change but not any more. Nashik Road and Manmad Junction after which the Gitanjali will thunder past Chalisgaon Junction and then Pachora, haughtily ignoring both. Pachora and its platforms will probably remind me of one Bharath Moro’s story of how he along with his father went to photograph this very train as it rocketed by at a 100 odd clicks. Maybe then, I will also, think of my own trips to railway stations as a boy.

Jalgaon and then Bhusaval Junction where I will keep my eyes open for the southbound Karnataka Express. Perhaps also our pairing train. The pantry car will be ready with lunch by this time. The ensuing run to Akola and then onwards to Badnera will remind me of one fateful evening when I covered this section for the first time on the Bangalore Rajdhani of all trains. Akola will also remind me of the most delightful journey I did years ago on a 1989 sleeper coach on the meter gauge passenger to Indore. The Gitanjali meanwhile will have passed Wardha Junction and reached Nagpur.  

I will watch the Wardha to Nagpur run from the door. In memory of a certain friend that once was, I will grab a piping hot cuppa and gaze out of the door at the setting sun. Ngapur will not pass without remembrance of the narrow guage line, the diamond crossing and also of one evening when my father and I on our way to Akola managed to secure reserved tickets across the counter less than 2 hours before the departure of the train. All thanks to the lazy folks at Nagpur who hadn’t prepared the charts.

Onwards into Gondia, perhaps crossing the Bilaspur Rajdhani on the way. Then further to Rajnandgaon and Durg. We might run into the Howrah-Mumbai Duronto somewhere on this section. The number of important stations this Duronto skips, it is almost outrageous! I will head to the door for some late night star gazing as we pass through the sides of a triangle to take in Raipur. Star gazing from train doors is an experience that holds super powers. Just standing there, letting the mind wander and the wind mess up my hair. And I like talking to the moon, telling it my secrets. If I’m feeling crazy enough maybe I will stay at the door all the way till Bilaspur.

I will then turn in for the night. As for the Gitanjali, she is far from finished. She will march on steadily towards Champa, past the Jindal steel plant and then Raigarh. The undulating plateaus of coal by the tracks and the collieries themselves will be lost in the darkness. Also in the darkness another pairing Gitanjali will blast past us.

Jharsuguda and then Rourkela. Despite the fact that I’d have stayed up past midnight I’ll probably be awake by this time. The Oriya announcements are not to be missed for they always elicit a chuckle or two. “Yatri gana kripya kora dhyana dayantu.” Maybe I will spot the Alleppey-Bokaro slip train here. A dear friend of mine and fellow rail enthusiast used to frequent this super crawler as a matter of choice.

We will cross from Orissa into Jharkhand on our way to Chakradharpur. State number 4 since leaving Mumbai. The lush vegetation of the Saranda forests won’t go unnoticed. Next will be Sini Junction after which, another triangle. Sini, Kandra and Gamharia. We will ignore Kandra Junction and proceed along the base of the triangle this time. Meanwhile I will have a very important decision to make. Bread omelette or cutlets for breakfast. Tatanagar to Kharagpur rumbling over the Subarnarekha on the way.

Kharagpur Junction will remind me of the time I once spent the wee hours of the night waiting for the Howrah-Madras mail to turn up. The long platforms meant that I got plenty of exercise. Walking up and down them was the only way of passing the time that night. The line towards Bhubhaneshwar and further into Andhra will surely remind me of home.

At Panskura Junction I will note the line branching off towards Haldia as the Gitanjali sails through on the final home stretch to Howrah. She will be keen to impress before I say goodbye. Santragachi, Tikiapara and Howrah, right on the stroke of lunch. At this point it will strike me that I’ve just travelled between two of the magnificent termini both built by the British. Both, more than a century old. And as for the train, it too bears the name that is just as old.

This is a journey I really must make in the not too distant future.

Gotipua Kattak 1

Gotipua, the Oriya etymon of which literally means ‘Goti’ = ‘single’ & ‘Pua’ = ‘Boy’. As the name indicates this sacred dance is performed only by boys dressed up as girls.

The amazing history of this dance dates up to the time of Sriman Gauranga Mahaprabhu. Since many centuries as a customary practice in the Chandan Yatra festival of Puri, the Supreme Lord Sri Jagannath would always go out on procession along with His supreme devotee Lord Shiva in between the assembly of demigods. And at that time, as a tradition, the Devadasis of the Sri Mandir would also come to dance before Lord Jagannath for His pleasure.

Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu suggested the creation of the Gotipua boys

When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu (who was Lord Jagannath himself assuming the form of His devotee) saw this, He desired them (the Devadasis) to dance in front of Lord Shiva as well, during the entire occasion, but unfortunately the priests objected to it. They objected because the Devadasis were females and by nature they could not maintain purity continually for a period of 21 days, especially since Lord Shiva was among those demigods.

Hence Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu as an alternative advised the King of Puri to bring in small boys for the purpose. He said “let the boys dance instead of girls, since boys were pure in all respects.” That was when, for the first time, the King of Puri ordered his subjects to set up gymnasiums for training Gotipuas (or small dancing boys).

Normally the Gotipuas dress up them selves as girls to sing and dance in the rhythm of ancient classical vaisnava music meant for the pleasure of the Supreme Lord Krishna. Their songs depict various stories from the great historical puranas of India as well as the Rasa leela pastimes of the Lord with the Gopis in Vrindavan.

A cultural vaisnava legacy

This dance form historically represents the magnificence of the most glorious vaisnava culture of Orissa. It was flourishing strongly during the medieval period and had spread as a great part of the rich temple culture of Puri. They were earlier sponsored by the feudal land lords in the remote rural areas of Orissa, but slowly later after the decline of feudalism, the temples, monasteries, gymnasiums and feudal zamindars could no longer sponsor this tradition anymore.

The tradition was almost dead during the last century. But now providentially it has once again been revived and is slowly regaining its forgotten vitality for the pleasure and services of the Supreme Lord Jagannath.

The repertoire of the dance includes “Sri Guru Vandana” = prayers offered to the spiritual master, “Sa-Re-Ga-Ma” = A pure dance number, “Abhinaya” = Enactment of devotional songs, and lastly the “Bandha Nrutya” = Rythms of acrobatic postures.

This Bandha Nrutya is a unique presentation where the Gotipuas dance and compose themselves in various acrobatic postures creating the images of Radha and Krishna. Musical accompaniment is provided with the mardala, manjira, harmonium, violin and flute.

These (the Gotipuas) are all trained to become accomplished dancers, mardala players, tuned singers and above all graceful acrobats…a complete performing artist in very unique way.

Bridal shower

A bridal shower traditionally involves giving gifts to the future wife. A bridal shower is a gift-giving party held for a bride-to-be in anticipation of her wedding. The custom originated in the 1890s and is today most common in the United States and Canada. The history of the custom is rooted not necessarily for the provision of goods for the upcoming matrimonial home, but to provide goods and financial assistance to ensure the wedding may take place. Men are typically not allowed at these functions. But recently more men have been attending. Contents 1 History 2 Customs and gift-giving 3 Hosts 4 Guests 5 Prevalence 6 See also 7 References History The custom of the bridal shower is said to have grown out of earlier dowry practices, when a poor woman's family might not have the money to provide a dowry for her, or when a father refused to give his daughter her dowry because he did not approve of the marriage. In such situations, friends of the woman would gather together and bring gifts that would compensate for the dowry and allow her to marry the man of her choice. The earliest stories about these events have been known to originate in Brussels, Belgium around 1860. A frequently quoted legend traces the origin of this practice to the 16th or 17th Century Netherlands. However, there are also parallels with many dowry practices and the United States colonial or hope chest (trousseau) custom.[1] A related custom practised in medieval England was the Bride Ale: in Langland's Piers Plowman ( B.II.45) there is a reference to a bruydale. This was a feast held before the wedding day, at which the bride made beer and sold it to the guests at a high price. In the United States, bridal showers started in urban areas in the 1890s mainly among the upper middle classes. By the 1930s, bridal showers had spread to rural America.[2] The earliest use of this sense of the word in print may be in the Grand Rapids Michigan Evening Press 22 June 4, 1904: "The 'shower parties' that through mistaken hospitality the wedded couple are forced to attend ..." and may derive from the custom in Victorian times for the presents to be put inside a parasol, which when opened would "shower" the bride-to-be with gifts.[3] Customs and gift-giving Many different customs have developed in different regions and social groups, but the basic format has been relatively unchanged for generations, and emphasizes traditional gender roles. Sociologists like Beth Montemurro write that the ritual of the bridal shower "socializes women into the hyper-feminized traditional wife role," with its emphasis on the future role of the bride-to-be as family cook, homemaker, and sexual partner.[4] Historian Elizabeth Pleck echoes this dynamic in pointing out that traditional shower gifts were "for the bedroom or the kitchen."[5] But this role is more of an homage to the mothers and grandmothers than a reflection of how the bride-to-be will actually behave in the marriage.[6] Although the format has remained relatively consistent, there have been some significant changes. An etiquette guide from the 1920s suggested showers should be "purely spontaneous and informal," with guests arriving unannounced at the bride-to-be's home, while a planning guide from the 1950s suggests more complex themes and games.[4] Showers are often held during the afternoon or evening, but not generally as luncheons or dinner parties. They commonly take place four to six weeks before the wedding.[7] Due to the prior history of showers being "purely spontaneous and informal", showers have not developed the same formal etiquette that has developed with respect to weddings. Invitations may be issued informally, by mail, telephone, or e-mail. As showers are explicitly a gift-giving occasion, everyone who attends the shower is expected to bring a small gift.[8] People who decline the invitation for any reason are not expected to send a gift or otherwise participate in the party. The hosts are expected to hand over gifts, or favors. These can be small gifts like chocolate coins that have been personalized with the name of the bride and the date of the event or a simple thank-you message.[9] Food can be served at bridal showers. Treats such as cake and candy buffets can also be served for guests. Hosts Hosting the bridal shower falls to one or more close friends of the bride, often one or more of the bridesmaids. Mothers, sisters, and other close family members usually do not host bridal showers, as it may be seen as rude and greedy for the family to ask for gifts for their own members.[10][11] Instead of a bridal shower, family members and future in-laws who wish to celebrate the upcoming wedding host a bridal tea, bridesmaids' luncheon, engagement announcement party, or other non-gift-oriented party.[12] Some organizations, such as social clubs or religious groups, host bridal showers for every member who is being married. Guests Guests are chosen from among the bride's personal friends, family, and other well-wishers. Men are not usually present at bridal showers. The number of guests and their relationship to the bride varies widely. In Canada, among some immigrant communities parties in community halls with upwards of 300 guests were normal, while other cultures emphasized intimate parties with only close friends and relatives.[13] In general, people who are invited to a bridal shower are also invited to the wedding ceremony. Prevalence Bridal showers are uncommon in some cultures. In the United Kingdom, bridal showers have been described as a "consumerist American idea" with "limited acceptability".[14] In the UK, wedding presents are normally selected from a list provided by the couple, and delivered either at the wedding or by the shop, and sometimes displayed at the wedding.

Bali Jatra popularly known as Boita Bandana is a festival held in Odisha, in the city of Cuttack at Gadagadia Ghata of the Mahanadi river, to mark the day when ancient Sadhabas (Oriya mariners) would set sail to distant lands of Bali, as well as Java, Sumatra, Borneo (all in Indonesia), and Sri Lanka for trade and cultural expansion. They sailed in large vessels called Boitas.  Bali Jatra is also associated with Taapoi and rituals like Bhalukuni Osha or Khudurukuni Osha and Bada Osha. Taapoi is closely associated with the Bali Jatra festival, which recalls traditional memories of young maidens waiting for the return of their sailor brothers. To commemorate this, the festival is celebrated every year from the day of Kartika Purnima according to the Oriya Calendar.  The festival marks its beginning at Kartik Purnima which comes around the end of October and November, and goes on for a period of seven days from the full moon. This is the specific time that was considered auspicious by the Sadhabas to begin their voyage in vessels called Boitas. The voyage is begun on Kartika Purnima to take advantage of the favorable wind blowing during this time. Ajhala or big fabric sails were used to harness the wind power to move the Boitas.  In Cuttack, Bali Jatra is celebrated annually as a large open fair near the Barabati Fort area. It is said to be the largest fair of Odisha state. There are several attractions for children, and food stalls selling Oriya delicacies (Cuttacki Dahivada Aludum, Thunka puri, Barafa pan, Gupchup, etc.) from different parts of the state, and other vendors selling toys, curiosities, and other gifts. Bali Jatra also provides a lot of cultural programs. Every year millions of people from all over the nation come to experience it.  During Bali Yatra, children float toy boats made of colored paper, dried banana tree barks, and cork in the Mahanadi, ponds, water tanks, etc., to commemorate the voyage of their ancestors to Indonesia. These toy boats, usually launched after sunset contain small oil lamps, which are lit and placed inside them, to provide an attractive sight during the festival. People sing a song Aa ka ma boi, pan gua thoi… to remember the early maritime history of Odisha. The song tells about four months that are important for marine merchants of Kalinga (the earlier name of Odisha). This festival is also celebrated with great fanfare in Paradeep. Bali Jatra bears testimony to the rich maritime legacy of ancient Odisha.
