Bhubaneswar: For three hours on a Sunday morning, the stretch from City Women's College to Jagamara Road in the capital city turned into a lively arena of fun, fitness and community spirit, offering a refreshing break to residents from the daily hustle and bustle.
'Happy Streets', organised by TOI, started with a musical note as beautiful notes attracted many morning walkers and residents of nearby localities.
The singers performed a wide range of songs from Bollywood to folk and fusion. The usually busy thoroughfare was transformed into a vehicle-free zone, allowing participants to engage in various activities without the interference of traffic.
Residents expressed their appreciation for the initiative.
"It's refreshing to see our street coming alive with such positive energy. Events like this help in bringing the community together and promote a healthier lifestyle," said Sarat Sahu, a retired banker and resident of Soubhagya Nagar.
The event was powered by SoA University and co-powered by SAI International School and SAI International Residential School. Sarthak Films was the radio partner.
Locals also got a chance to get a free health check-up during the event at a makeshift kiosk put up by SUM Ultimate Hospital.
"It is a great initiative where so many activities are being organised in one place. I avoided routine health check-ups for some reason or another. Thanks to Happy Streets, I could get my vitals checked for free," said Manoranjan Das, a senior citizen.
Sports enthusiasts had their moment too, with street cricket, basketball and archery platforms provided by Decathlon, the sports partner of the event. The title sponsor was the Odia language, literature and culture department. Participants won attractive prizes and gift vouchers by taking part in the activities.

On Wednesday, Shah Rukh Khan took to his social media to drop the first filmy poster of his son Aryan Khan's debut series 'The Ba***ds Of Bollywood'. The Bollywood-style poster features Lakshya confidently exuding swag on a red carpet outside a cinema hall. Also visible in the poster are Bobby Deol, Sahher Bambba, Manoj Pahwa, Mona Singh, Raghav Juyal, and other cast members. 'Parda girne ka wait kar rahe ho? Yeh show parda phaad ke aa raha hai. (Waiting for the curtain to rise? This show is coming to tear the curtain apart). The Ba***ds of Bollywood Preview, out today #TheBadsOfBollywoodOnNetflix," wrote Shah Rukh Khan, while unveiling the intriguing poster. About The Ba***ds Of Bollywood Aryan Khan, who chose to step into direction instead of acting unlike his superstar father and sister Suhana Khan, has been working on the project for over a year. He serves as the creator and director, and is working alongside co-creators and writers Bilal Siddiqi and Manav Chauhan. Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, the show reportedly dives into the eccentric world of aspirants, hustlers, and dreamers who navigate the chaos of the Hindi film industry. It stars Bobby Deol, Lakshya, Sahher Bambba, Manoj Pahwa, Mona Singh, Manish Chaudhari, Raghav Juyal, Anya Singh, Vijayant Kohli, and Gautami Kapoor. Shah Rukh Khan, last seen in Dunki, has left his fans eagerly awaiting his next big-screen outing. The superstar is set to headline King, a high-octane action thriller where he stars alongside his daughter Suhana Khan. The film, already touted as one of the most ambitious projects of his career, has now hit a slight roadblock due to health concerns. During his trademark #AskSRK session on X (formerly Twitter), a fan asked him when his next film would release. In his witty yet candid response, SRK wrote, 'Did some good shoot… starting soon again. Only leg shots then move to upper body… Insha Allah will be done fast. @justSidAnand is working hard to finish." While his optimism reassured fans, reports indicate that King's production schedule has been temporarily affected by the actor's recent injury. According to Mid-Day, the filming has been delayed after SRK sustained a shoulder strain while shooting an intense action sequence at Golden Tobacco Studio in Mumbai. Sources close to the production revealed that although the injury is not life-threatening, it required medical attention abroad. SRK has since flown to the United States for precautionary treatment, and doctors have reportedly advised him to take at least a month's break.
