After graduating, she decided to settle in Puri and focus on finishing her book.
"She liked Puri a lot. So, after graduation, she wanted to settle down in Puri, continue book writing. But everyone needs a source of income. So, she wanted to build a hotel for Japanese tourists," Mr Mohanty said in Odia. However, his mother could not buy land for her hotel because she was a foreign national.
