Book excerpt: How gender orientation is getting a clearer expression through Sex Reassignment Surgery A notable event across the world in June every year is the Pride Month which is meant to honor and recognize the LGBTQ+ community. Our Cover Story for this edition delves into a specific aspect that is crucial to the transgender community, Sex Reassignment Surgery. We speak to some prominent faces from the community to understand more about this life-changing medical procedure. The in-depth feature also analyses the way ahead for the entire community. Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore’s connection with Odisha has been talked about since his visit in 1919. A special feature brings you more on this. In City Sports, we highlight how some extremely tough and fiercely competitive disciplines, particularly in athletics, fail to get the kind of recognition that they deserve. We also bring you an informative news feature on the motorsport Formula 1 and what goes on behind the scenes to make it popular. Not so long ago, everybody’s favourite sweet, the ‘Rasagola’, was at the centre of an unlikely ‘war’ between people from Odisha and West Bengal over its origins. The matter was finally settled with the authorities granting the prestigious Geographical Index (GI) tag to both the ‘Odisha Rasagola’ and the ‘Bangalar Rasagola’ for Odisha and West Bengal respectively. This time it is the turn of Odisha’s ‘Chenna Poda’ to seek a GI tag for this unique dish. Read all about it in City Lights. The unique cuisine of Odisha has always been something to relish and a young chef from Bhubaneswar recently made sure that it grabbed eyeballs across the nation. Participating in Master Chef India 2023, Avinash Patnaik left a lasting impression on judges and viewers alike, with his fusion of art and traditional flavors. We bring you more about him in this edition.
