Boita Bandana
Boita
(ship) Bandana (worship) is a festival that is reminiscent of Odisha’s great
maritime history. It is celebrated on
Kartika Purnima (fool moon) morning. This year it is being celebrated on 14
Nov. tomorrow.
Like in
all festivals, tomorrow again in the name of rituals and tradition we'll
pollute the water bodies. We'll assault the already stressed ponds, rivers with
our boats of various make and size, our flowers, jauce sticks. We'll assault
the air with our crackers and fire works. We'll think we are earning 'punya'
and in the process kill the water bodies.
Have you marked this irony: as the water bodies are getting polluted we are keen to further pollute it. As the air is getting polluted we are keen to further pollute it. We are the true descendants of 'Bhasmasura' programmed to self destruct our selves. The problem is we'll destroy not only other specie but the whole world too.

It is that time
of the year
It is
that time of the year, when you wish to get up early but try to lie on bed for
that eternal five more minutes.
It is that time of the year, when you look at the watch and look out of your window and wonder: it is getting dark, so soon! The watch must be showing wrong time.
It is that time of the year, when the wafting smell of ground nuts on hot sand makes you feel hungry.
It is that time of the year, when you look fondly at the mothballed suit and think now I can wear this, and then you look at your bulging midriff and sigh.
Winter is approaching.

Green Diwali
As post
Diwali Delhi is chocking with pollution, here is good news from 2000 kms away.
This year the students of Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC),
Dhenkanal (Odisha) went for Green Diwali. There were no crackers. So no air
pollution and no sound pollution. There were sweets and music and earthen diya
and rangoli. The boys and girls wore ethnic dresses. However the dances were
not ethnic always.
See this
See
this. Nov 16 National Press Day is also observed as the International Day for
Tolerance. And Nov 21 World Television Day is also observed as World Fisheries
Day.
My friend Nabaghana commented, there is a relation. See, the way debates and discussions go on our television, it is no less than fish market. And in Odisha there is definitely something fishy about media ownership. See how many of them have been lodged in jail.

Banker Bandhu
Like
millions others, I went to a bank this morning to exchange old 500 and 1000
rupee notes. There was a long queue with many saree clad ladies with oil
splattered hair clutching their pallu, couple of currency notes and voter id
cards.
What amazed me was the way the employees of the bank were working - with a smile and cool efficiency. I bow to the bank employees who have been working tirelessly for over 12 hours a day for the last four five days to tide over the situation.
I do not know what will the impact of demonetization on black money (some believe that only a minor portion of black money is there in cash form, the major portion lies in benami real estate and gold) but this trying time tested the resilience and efficiency of our bank employees and they passed the test with flying colours.
