Samosa becoming the global snack

I remember those days when we used to get ₹5 as pocket money and I used to rush for my fast food cravings. Those days samosa's used to be 50 paise and Cola's used to be at just ₹2.

Samosa with mint chutney Samosa is truly a ubiquitous snack we have in India. You go to any nook or corner of our country and you will see some "halwai" would be frying some goldish yellow samosa. We can surely say, samosa has always been a part of us Indians.

Chandrashekhar Azad Eco-Park opening soon for the residents of Gandhichowk, Belpahar, Brajrajnagar

One of the worst things which happened recently in the year 2020 was the Covid pandemic, which resulted in the closure of almost all public outlets. But fortunately now in 2022, virtually all the closed public outlets, malls, shopping centres, markets, Eco Parks, and Gardens got re-opened.  But as usual, there always remain some exceptions, one being the JRD TATA Park in the Gumadera area of Belpahar, Odisha. The management there seems still worried about covid and not opening this lone TATA Park for the residents of Belpahar. This TATA Park was the only Eco Park in the area and residents used to go there for morning/evening walks. But since the TRL management is not ready to open the park for the residents of Belpahar, residents here have no other option but to stay at home. Fortunately, the MCL Orient Mine 4, understood the pain of the residents of the Belpahar, Brajrajnagar and Gandhichowk areas. There is a brand new Eco-park on its way to being opened to the public.
