On Beauty . . . an insight

Beauty, anywhere, is truly beyond expression . . . It easily exceeds our finest words and our expert pictures. Yet, words and pictures are the only things we have, until we come face to face with beauty itself . . . I realised this deep inside me, upon spotting a bright and grand rainbow through the aircraft window, while on a flight to Malaysia.

N.B. Although the image above is also from the Malaysian sky, but it is not the one I saw through the aircraft window!

My Lyrics . . . kankaNa rupaara

This is a visualisation of my Odia poem, kankaNa rupaara, performed by Ameli in the album, sei mana chaDHei. The song comes alive in Tapu Mishra's voice, with musical direction  by Anant Kar. The album is produced by Nirakar (Nabadeep Entertainment, Odisha).

Cinema: Mu

I acted as Kalki, the divine character, in the Odia film, Mu, with co-artist Suman, the hero, directed by Nishikant Dalabehera. The film is presented by Satyabhama Creation and produced by Narendra Patra. Mine was a small but significant role, which comes in the climax scene towards the end of the film.

Music Album: Madhushala

Madhushala is the title song of an Odia music album of the same name. Co-artist Rani and I picturised the number sung by the legendary singer Mohammed Aziz. The visual director was L. M. Jitu.

TV Serial: Bada Ghara Bada Gumara Katha

I am playing as Bibhu Roy in ETV Oriya serial, Bada Ghara Bada Gumara Katha, an Arka Media production, directed by Ajay Rath. I am grateful to Jatin Nayak, the general production designer of ETV Oriya, for this opportunity.
