hi all

i very much appreciate the site and offer kudos to the team which has come up with such a fabulous site especially for oriya women. i always wanted a forum to air my thoughts, but couldn't find the right platform. i think this is the right one and being a working lady i still can find a few seconds to pour my heart out for a cause inspite of the time constraints. i will certainly keep in touch.

once again thanks for such a novel start up for oriya women.

i will keep in touch.

unique ness of orissa

i saw this site by chance and am very happy,i feel connected to it.oriya culture is unique in the sense that it can mix with any culture just like potatoes can mix with any vegetable,but we should try to maintain our identity.i have stayed more time outside orissa and have proudly claimed to be a oriya.we dontneed any accomplishment to be proud of our culture,the fact that we are oriya is enough reason.no other culture is so much giving in nature and people so simple.i wish this site all best wishes 

Now that you have mentioned it, we think, Nishi you are correct. It would be interesting for you to know that we initially mentioned the spelling as "Parba Parbaani". Please see the image of the earlier spelling attached at the bottom of this message to find how we spelt it earlier. But then someone pointed out that it should have been "Parba Paarbani". The Oriya dictionaries however do not mention any such word. (Though they mention "Paarbana" the word "Paarbani" is missing). However we thought that it was a matter of usage and that in Oriya homes "Parba Paarbani" might have found colloquial acceptance. So after "Parba Parbaani" appeared for about one month, we changed it to "Parba Paarbani". We should admit that we had done it without ourselves being fully convinced about it. We expected reactions from visitors. And now it has come. We request for more opinion from our visitors: Should we go back to our earlier spelling of  "Parba Parbaani" ?

Dear Oriya Nari Team,

First of all, thank you for resolving the Parbaani-Paarbani issue.

Here I am again with a very minor issue. Couldn't help but bring your notice to this.

The last reply that I posted had a word - peacocck - Mayura pakhi. I know the spelling is wrong. But the site is not allowing me to post the reply unless I changed the slang word within the word.

Same is the case with my name. Actually It is Nishi-ta. When I tried posting on the website for the first time, I got the error - please remove s-h-i-t (of course without the -) from your post. I was shocked and went crazy to find out that word from my small post. Then I realized it was in my name! I never realized my name had a bad word within it . Anyway, that's not the point. What I am trying to say is when the reply is scanned for such words, it should pick full words and not sub-strings within a string. You can check for spaces from both sides or may be hyphen or underscore as I was able to write s-h-i-t. I know doing is difficult than saying. This one definitely is not a priority and we hardly come across such words. So come to it when you have plenty of time.

And I am happy with Nishi also, as most of friends call that only.

Thanks & Regards,

Nishi

Please keep the site in English only- my Oriya is not too good to write in Oriya. The number of contributions will drop otherwise.

Could you open a seperate forum for poems section? There are many posts on peoms and I feel it is becoming a little difficult to browse non-poem topics. Thanks!
