As I was driving through Rama Mandir Traffic Square in Bhubaneswar, I couldn't help but notice a police officer who seemed to be waiting at the signal after crossing the zebra crossing. It was quite careless of them to do so, as they are supposed to set an example for others to follow when it comes to following traffic rules.
But that wasn't the only thing that caught my attention that day. As I continued through the city, I came across the 20th edition of the Odissi and Light Music Festival, being held at Rabindra Mandap. This annual festival is a celebration of the rich cultural heritage of Odisha and showcases the traditional dance form of Odissi along with light music performances.
I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and joy as I saw the vibrant colors and graceful movements of the Odissi dancers on stage. The festival was a beautiful display of talent and dedication, with performers from all over the state coming together to showcase their skills.
As I watched the performances, I couldn't help but reflect on the importance of preserving our culture and traditions. The festival not only entertained and delighted the audience, but also served as a reminder of the beauty and richness of our roots.
I left the festival feeling grateful to have experienced such a wonderful celebration of our heritage. And as I passed by the same traffic square on my way home, I couldn't help but hope that the careless police officer had also witnessed the festival and was inspired to be more mindful of their actions in the future.
