DIVERSITIES BUT ONE NATION

Garment business between two railway lines.What people can do for a survival?
With so many diversities and difficulties, still then we will send men to moon!
Holy cows on National highways.
Much improved railway compartments, may be a new one.No time for maintenance.

Transport and apartment building business in India is a very good business, provided you are close to Police and politicians for that you have to become Don4.

FILLING UP THE PAGES



CADAVEROUS OPINION:

Of late lots of ex cricket captains and players are talking B-sit as Geoffrey Boycott says. Some one is not satisfied with team selection, some one with the ground, some on the rules, some on the attitude, and some on weather. Majority is in favour of Indian team and its players, as here lay their livelihood. The so called experts who come for discussion or propaganda of products, one hour before the schedule game time talk like lunatics and there are plenty of such lunatics in India including some senior citizens who have nothing else to do then sit in front of the TV. Some say it will be a high scoring match other will say it will be wise to bat first and all their predictions and calculations are proved wrong by the time the game ends. The TVs, Newspapers, and media are all focused on the Boxing Day but not on more important issues. Some one raising a voice against corruptions is snubbed by the media and the politicians. The rupee value has deteriorated, the shinning India is like artificial gold ornaments but we sleep cricket, dream cricket and eat cricket. As if winning the series in Australia will lower down the petrol price and raise the rupee value.Let’s focus on more important national issue and leave the players to play and the commentators to make cacophony noise.

CULTURE IS CULTURE



INDIAN CULTURE:
Last week I happen to meet on Professor of Delhi University while waiting for the Baripada Bhubaneswar super fast express at Balasore Railway platform. As usual I had reached the station earlier. We had discussions on varieties of topics when the soft speaking Prof suddenly got agitated when he noticed people going to the other side of the platform to board the train. The stoppage time was only two minutes. The day being a Monday there was unusual rush at the platform. He told me “as Indians we have different cultures and language in twenty eight different states and seven union territories but there are distinct Indian cultures in every part of India.”
‘Such as’-
“I think you know it, it has become a national culture!”
‘But you have traveled more than me all over the globe, hence you can enlighten me.’
“1: Ready to pay for any thing or every thing but for health they want it free.2: Ready to give you advice on any thing and every thing.3: Not concerned about others 4: Talking unnecessarily over mobile phones.5: Throwing garbage in side the train be it Baripada express or Rajdhani express.6: Boarding the train from the wrong side as these people are doing at the moment.
He paused. Why not make it ten, I intervened.
“You add another three” he said smilingly.
Why three will add four. Mine four will be 1: Blowing car or scooter horn every secong.2.Corruption/bribing in every field 3.Eating any thing and every thing in train but using mineral water.4: Males urinating in open space under public view.
“But we have hundreds of good thing about our true culture”-said the professor.
We had hearty laughter and parted as the train entered the platform.

VILLAGE LIFE


Recently i had been to my village with my Canon A-560 camera.Typical village picture of our district Mayurbhanj,Odisha. Early morning, children are near fire place,dog is giving them company. Young man is the proud father of all these children, mother is sitting on the floor.I was fortunate to have witnessed this scene.

CHANGE IN WEATHER







TODAYS'S HEAD LINE NEWS IN TIMES OF INDIA>>"TWIN NUKE MISSILE TEST TODAY" AT BALASORE- MY BLOG VIEWERS, PLEASE NOTE THE SUDDEN CHANGE IN WEATHER CONDITION IN ODISHA AND BENGAL AND EVEN BANGLADESH.MY POINT IS HOW THIS BALLISTIC MISSILE TESTING IS DETRIMENTAL TO THE ECOLOGY.YOU CAN GO THROUGH MY EARLIER ARTICLES ON THIS TOPIC.
2PM news:
A twin user trial of India's nuclear-capable Prithvi-II missile by the Army was deferred today due to a technical problem at the Integrated Test Range at Chandipur near here.
"The test was postponed due to a technical snag," ITR Director said, adding that the date for future trial would be decided after correcting the problem.
The ITR director's statement came in the midst of media reports that two missiles had failed to take off during the twin trial. "I don't know on what basis they have concluded that the trial had failed,"

Luckily the test failed and we will have some more colder days.

COWARDS



"A world that wants to make peace with the environment can not continue to fight wars or sacrifice human health and the earth's ecosystems preparing for them...Despoiling and undermining vital natural support systems is a steep price to pay for freedom and natural Sovereignty, if it was ever really necessary"(Disarmament Times-1992-2).
I spent many years at Balasore but extremely sorry to state that if you compare the development of similar place where Ballistic missiles are tested > Bengalur,Hyderabad and else where,Balasore has been neglected.
Due to frequent testing of missiles from Chandipur and Dhamra There has been detrimental effects on the flora and fauna,especially the birds and tortoise life.We know defence is an sensitive and emotional issue but does not mean you do not pay any heed for the ecological problems in the coastal belt of Orissa.Our chief minister is happy just by changing few letters(Orissa=ODISHA) and showing his love for the state which he rules with out the ability to speak or understand Odiya!He must tell the defence ministry to plant trees which was advised by the Ex-President of India Abdul Kalam.He had advised the Government to plant 10 million saplings/trees a year in the 50 kilometer radius of the firing range.Has it been done?Except the land price which has sky rocketed after this Chandipur extablishment, nothing has changed in this sleepy town of Odisha called Balasore.No good medical facilities,no new industries,No parks, no good educational institutes(Engineering or Medical).The road from the official site to the testing range remains what it was some 40 years back.Because Odiyas do not have a leader to guide them they are happy killing Innocent animals by high voltage currents and,rasta roko for trivial issues.
However, concern was expressed that the long term ecological effects of testing might never never be understood because so little was known about the area's biology before the advent of the range.(Hey,1983)
Simply by firing Agnis or Pritivis we can not frighten China to leave Arunachal pradesh or POK.Lets have better Foreign Policies and reduce our defense expenditure(much to the annoyance of foreign countries)and build a better Eco friendly Bharat Mata(INDIA).SARAJAHAN SE ACHA HINDUSTAN HAMARA

THE OATH OF HIPPOCRATES

Two young bravehearts from Kerala, who were nurses in the fire-ravagedAMRI Hospital in Kolkata, saved eight patients before their own lives were snuffed out while trying to rescue another victim.

Remya and Vineetha, both 24 pulled out eight of the nine patients in the noxius smoke-filled female ward and when they had gone up to save the ninth patient, who had suffered a fracture, succumbed to the smoke and heat, said the Deputy Nursing Superintendent.

DONKEY RULES



The so called ICC which stands for some regulatory board for cricket is actually means I:International C:Clutter C; Circuit.
The first flaw is the condition of the pitch which is not uniform for both the teams.
2ND:The boundary line from center of the pitch is at times 50 yards to 100 yards, not uniform.
3Rd: There is no uniformity of the batting surface .
4:Some games DRS is applicable and others it's not accepted by one team.
5:ICC bows down to the rules and regulations and guidelines of BCCI which generate 70% of the money.
6:Batsman can hit a ball any way he likes where as a bowler has to tell the umpire/batsman whether he will bowl over or round the wicket or bowl right arm or left arm.
7:A ball hitting the helmet and going for 4 or 6 is not a dead ball.
8:A batsman can hit six fours or six sixes in an over where as a bowler can bowl only one bouncer per over!
9:If the batsman can have a personal bat why not a personal ball for a bowler?
10:Why heavy bats with new tchnology are allowed for the batsman where as non glazed balls are used in test matches?
There are plenty of flaws in the rule for the game of cricket hence one should not compare records of one era with another.The recent example is the 218 by Virendra Sahawg.The bondary line was only 50 yards as reportd on the front page of TOI!! So how one can compare a century of Melbourne(Boundary>80 to 100yards)with that of a century at Barabati Stadium or Holkar stadium Indore ??
For these reasons actually it's a donkeys game,played by donkeys, watched by Donkeys, rules formed by donkeys,commentators are also the same and governed by King Donkeys.

PARALAKHEMUNDI



This small town? sleepy village is situated at the border of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh of India.The Maharaja Khrishna Chandra Gajapati was instrumental in keeping this place with in Odisha(Orissa) other wise the British government had decided it to be a part of Andhra pradesh.I spent my school days for three years, nothing much has changed in last 50 years.The photograph shows the Mahandrataneya river and the Queen's palace on the bank of this beautiful river.On one side of the river is Odisha and on the other side it's Andhra pradesh.More about this place next time.It's the head quarter of Gajapati District.

NO PROTEST




When there is mining activities,New industries or projects different people with vested interest come to Odisha to protest but no one has ever questioned the ecological disaster caused due to frequent test firing at Chandipur- Balasore.On one hand we blow our trumpet telling the world that we are peace loving people of a peace loving country but that's all.We(Odiya people) kill elephants by high tension wire,Five tiger pups could not be saved with so much medical advances ,road accident kills thousands every year,road conditions are so bad that the MIG factory of Sunabeda may be shifted out of Odisha.Coming to this testing range i can say that the sudden change of season and temperature is due(convention) to this huge amount of heat generated by the missiles.We are real hypocrites, on one hand we show our concern for the Ozone layer depletion and on the other hand we go on opening industries after industries and testing missiles.The best Laptop,Music system,Toys,Mobiles you name it i will get it which are made in China, so much for Indian technological development.Lets stop this testing of missiles causing natural disasters and have better foreign relationships with our neighbouring countries.One thing i can tell you, for last 20 years my predictions about sudden change in weather in Odisha due to test firing has never gone wrong(with out knowing that a missile has been tested at Balasore).The AGNI GODDESS/MISSILE true to it's name will ruin the next generation.For whom are we having all these modern gadgets and developments, when there will be sick people every where due to skin cancers,heart disease,diabetes and other incurable diseases due to global warming.In the name of defence developments lets not spoil our planet.After some time(thousands of years later) World will look like moon,mercury,Venus and people from some other planet will say here also there was some civilization.
