a little about Me

I was born on 17th March in Cuttack, Odisha. My father, Sri Joy Krushna Mangaraj, was a senior administrative officer in the government of Odisha. He superannuated in the year 1987 from the place called Puri, the beach town and the holy city of Lord Jagannath.

I have spent less time in my native place, Sujanpur, as we used to live with my father, who used to get official transfer postings in different parts of Odisha state. We used to relocate ourselves with our father’s transfer, almost every two or three years within Odisha.
