Book excerpt: The cheers have faded and the fans have long returned home but the memories linger on, such was the scale of the sporting extravaganza that unfolded through January. With Odisha hosting back-to-back FIH Men's Hockey World Cups in 2018 and 2023, the state has firmly established itself on the sports map of the world. The 2023 Men's Hockey World Cup was not limited to the stadiums in Bhubaneswar and Rourkela where all the matches were played. The excitement and the celebrations spilled over onto the streets of cities and villages all over Odisha. Our Cover Story brings you a recap of all the action and excitement. Our City Zen for this edition is Sarthak Pradhan, who was awarded a gold medal during Utkal University's recent convocation ceremony. While he works in the private sector, he is also an author and columnist. He opens up about his journey so far. The recent outbreak of flu across the state sparked fears due to similarities with the symptoms of a Covid-19 infection. While the flu has become a common enough occurrence during the winters, this time, the fever lasted longer. We look for some explanations in the City Health section. This edition salutes women who have broken the glass ceiling and made a mark in a field which has traditionally been considered to be a stronghold of men.
