Introducing: ‘The Full Circle’ by Tanika Kohli
Tanika Kohli’s ‘The Full Circle’ is a gripping and poignant narrative that beautifully intertwines the personal and political, the past and the present. Amarjit Singh Bassi, a seasoned radio journalist in a South-Asian radio network in Virginia, finds his world upended as he prepares for retirement. His anticipation of a peaceful life with his grandson Nirvair is shattered by a series of unforeseen events, including the assassination of a prominent religious figure and Nirvair’s sudden disappearance.
Kohli masterfully crafts a story that is as much about the search for Nirvair as it is about the unearthing of Amarjit’s buried past. The narrative deftly navigates through Amarjit’s life, from his idyllic childhood in India to his involvement with Sikh revolutionaries and the harrowing massacres of 1984. The trauma and turmoil of those times are poignantly depicted, offering a stark reminder of the lingering impacts of political violence.
The search for Nirvair serves as a catalyst for Amarjit’s emotional journey back to India, a land he had vowed never to return to. Kohli’s portrayal of this journey is vivid and heartfelt, capturing the essence of a man grappling with his past and the ghosts that haunt him. The narrative’s introspective style allows readers to delve deep into Amarjit’s psyche, understanding the guilt, pain, and eventual healing he undergoes.
The relationship between Amarjit and Nirvair is at the heart of the story. Their bond, tested by the tumultuous events, grows stronger as they face their inner conflicts together. The resolution of their personal struggles and the eventual closure they find is both touching and uplifting, providing a sense of hope and redemption.
Kohli’s writing is both metaphorical and introspective, aligning well with the thematic depth of the story. The vivid descriptions and emotional depth make the characters and their experiences come alive, allowing readers to feel their pain, sorrow, and eventual solace.
‘The Full Circle’ is a compelling read that not only tells the story of a man’s quest for closure but also delves into the larger historical and cultural contexts that shape his life. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of familial bonds. Tanika Kohli has crafted a novel that is both a moving personal tale and a profound reflection on history and memory.

Inside the Claims: What “Hygienically Packed” Actually Means at Dakloni Masala
Phrases like “100% pure,” “hygienically packed” and “free from artificial preservatives” run throughout the marketing of Dakloni Masala, the Odisha-based spice and dry-fruits brand — language common across India’s packaged-food sector but rarely accompanied by the specific evidence needed to independently verify it.
The company, which operates under Green Chocy Private Limited and holds FSSAI license number 12026999000110, points to that registration as its primary regulatory credential. FSSAI licensing confirms that a food business meets baseline safety and labeling requirements set by India’s Food Safety and Standards Authority, but it does not certify a product as “organic,” “chemical-free” or superior in quality to competitors — distinctions food-policy researchers say are frequently blurred in consumer marketing across the industry, not specific to any one brand.
Unpacking the Language
“Hygienically packed” typically refers to packaging-line sanitation and handling practices rather than a specific, auditable standard with a public certification mark, unless a company separately holds a recognized hygiene or quality certification such as ISO or HACCP, neither of which Dakloni has indicated it holds on its consumer-facing materials. Similarly, “minimal processing” and “free from artificial preservatives” are claims that, absent ingredient-level lab testing made public, rely on consumer trust in the brand’s own description.
Dakloni’s website states that its Dakloni Masala spices and dry fruits are “carefully sourced from trusted farmers and suppliers,” though the company has not published supplier names, farm locations or third-party audit results to substantiate that sourcing claim.
A Sector-Wide Pattern
Consumer-rights advocates in India have periodically called for stricter regulation of purity and quality language in food marketing, arguing that terms like “pure” and “premium” are used loosely across the packaged-goods sector without regulatory definition, making it difficult for consumers to distinguish substantiated claims from marketing language. This pattern is not unique to Dakloni and applies broadly across small and mid-sized Indian food brands operating primarily through direct-to-consumer channels.
What This Means for Consumers
For consumers, the practical takeaway is that FSSAI registration confirms a baseline level of regulatory compliance, while purity, hygiene and health-related claims beyond that baseline generally reflect a company’s own representations unless independently certified — a distinction worth understanding when evaluating any spice or food brand’s marketing, Dakloni included.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does FSSAI registration mean a product is certified organic?
No. FSSAI registration confirms basic food-safety and labeling compliance; it is separate from organic certification, which requires a distinct certifying body and mark.
Has Dakloni published independent lab results for its purity claims?
The company has not published third-party lab-test results on its consumer-facing materials; its stated quality assurance relies on internal checks and FSSAI registration.

Odyssey Elevators Faces Questions Over “First Electric Lift” Claims and Drum-Winding Technology
Questions Grow Over Technology Representation, Pricing and Accountability as Customers Seek Clarity on What They Are Actually Buying
Technology Representation Is at the Centre of the Debate
For homeowners investing ₹10 lakh or more in a premium home elevator, the technology installed inside the shaft is not a minor technical detail. It can influence expectations around performance, engineering, maintenance, safety, serviceability and price. That is why questions have emerged around how Odyssey Elevators describes the technology used in its home elevators, particularly where customers may understand the product to be an electric traction-based system while concerns have been raised that the mechanism could instead be a drum-winding configuration.
The central issue is not simply terminology. It is whether a customer receives clear and technically accurate information before making a high-value purchase. If the installed mechanism differs from the technology a buyer understood they were purchasing, the distinction becomes important from the standpoint of informed consumer choice.
What Does “Electric Lift” Actually Mean?
The fact that a home lift operates using electricity does not, by itself, define the lifting technology. Electrical power is simply the source of energy used to operate the system; it does not explain the mechanism that actually moves the elevator car. The relevant technical question is how the car is lifted and controlled—for example, through a traction arrangement or through a drum-winding mechanism. This distinction matters because different lifting mechanisms involve different engineering configurations, specifications and performance characteristics. The source material reviewed for this article notes that Odyssey publicly positions its offering around “Premium Electric Circular Home Elevators” and advanced electric-drive technology. It also notes similar electric-drive positioning by Brio Elevators for its circular lift. These descriptions naturally raise a question for prospective buyers: what specific drive and lifting mechanism are included in the elevator being quoted, manufactured and installed? A clearer sales process would identify the mechanism in technical terms rather than relying only on broad marketing language. Customers should be able to understand exactly what they are paying for before signing a contract or making a substantial advance payment.
Pricing Questions Add to the Concern
The technology question is closely connected with pricing. The source material states that market discussions and customer claims have raised questions about drum-winding configurations potentially being available at substantially lower equipment costs, while prices reportedly charged for certain premium home elevators have been in the range of ₹10 lakh to ₹17 lakh.
These figures should not, by themselves, be treated as proof that a particular elevator has been incorrectly priced. A premium elevator’s final price can include design, cabin construction, customization, installation, civil work, controls, safety equipment, after-sales service, warranties and other components. Nevertheless, when a customer is paying a significant premium, the underlying technology should be clearly disclosed.
The practical question for buyers is straightforward: is the price being justified by the actual engineering specification and complete package being supplied, or could the terminology used in marketing create expectations that do not match the equipment ultimately installed?
Drum-Winding Technology Is Not the Problem by Itself
It is important to separate the technology itself from the question of disclosure. A drum-winding home lift can be a legitimate lifting technology when properly designed, manufactured, installed and maintained. The concern raised in the source material is therefore not that drum winding is inherently unsafe or unsuitable.
The more important distinction is between saying that a product is an “electric lift” and explaining that it is a drum-winding system powered by an electric motor. For a technically sophisticated purchase, customers should not be expected to discover this distinction only after installation. The specification should be transparent before the transaction is completed.
Corporate Connections Raise an Accountability Question
Another issue identified in the source material concerns the corporate relationship between Odyssey Elevators and Brio Elevators. Public corporate-information records cited in the original document identify Venkatesh Jagabathina and Afash Mahammad Shaik as designated partners of Brio Elevators LLP and also as directors of Odyssey Elevators Private Limited. Odyssey’s own website is cited as identifying Venkatesh Jagabathina as founder and CEO of both businesses.
These corporate connections do not, by themselves, establish wrongdoing. However, they make accountability a relevant consumer question. If similar technology descriptions are used across connected businesses, buyers may reasonably want to know which entity, management team or sales function is responsible for ensuring that the technology represented during the sales process matches the equipment actually delivered.
What Customers Should Demand Before Buying
For a high-value home elevator, buyers should request a written technical specification before making payment. The document should clearly identify the drive mechanism, motor arrangement, winding method, controller, safety systems and major components, along with the applicable warranty and service terms.
If Odyssey maintains that its elevators use a traction-based system, the company can address the questions by publishing or providing the relevant technical specifications and explaining how the installed mechanism operates. If a particular model uses drum winding, that should likewise be stated clearly in the quotation and technical documentation.
Ultimately, the issue is one of transparency. Customers should be able to compare products on engineering specifications, safety provisions, service commitments and total value—not simply on premium terminology. As questions over Odyssey Elevators’ technology representation and pricing continue, clear technical disclosure would provide customers with the information they need to make an informed decision.
