State-Level Childrens Day Celebration by Naveen Patnaik

Children are important for the nation and to be a good person, they should have the great childhood. That's why the children's day celebrated on 14th November in India. It was the date of birth of the 1st Prime Minister of Independent India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. He loved children the most, that's why he suggested celebrating his birthday as children's day. 

For the first time, the government of Odisha organized a state-level children's day celebration. A state-level celebration organized at Bhubaneswar with a huge number of students and also the program was live through social media, Television channels and aired also. At that program, two teenager singers of Odisha, Ananya Sritam Nanda and Satyajit Jena had performed. The Prince Dance Academy also performed with Odisha Dance Academy. The Chief Minister Sri Naveen Patnaik also came to the event and give around 12 minutes of speech in Odia. Then the students do the promise to read well and be the best.



This is a great initiative for the children. Also, the program was shown to the school children through the TV or Projector. This program also celebrated at Panchayat level, Block level as well as in district level. Some students joined where they wished to join with their friends. But the problem is, some made this as a political campaign and some also commented on the live video as that program was some campaigning for their political party.

In some places, students also left before finishing the program. Yes, that happened due to the lack of preparation and some other activities, which the students didn't like. This is not to criticize anyone, but to appeal to all for co-operation and please know what to do where.

Rasagola Vs Rosogolla

Sangram Keshari Senapati November 15, 2017 2
Rasagola Vs Rosogolla

It started from 2015 when Odias celebrate #RasagolaDibasa on Niladribije of Lord Jagannatha. After that, some Bengali claimed that Rasagola originated form their state and then Odisha also reply to them. After that, the Rasagola war started in between Odisha and Bengal. 

Then Odisha Government made some committees to get the proof of Rasagola and some found it was written in Dandi Ramayana. Dandi Ramayana was written by Balaram Das around 800 years ago. And the government declared that they had applied with all the proofs for the Rasagola GI tag. 


Yesterday, Mamata Banarjee the Bengal CM tweeted about the GI tag for Rasagola. She tweeted that the sweet news for her state. They got the GI status for Rosogolla. 




After that, some media reported the news that Bengal won the GI status over Odisha. They even didn't try to find the original news.

A number of Media reported the news and relate it to Odisha. (Source: OpIndia.com)

But some reported that they had claimed for the Banglar Raosogolla (Bengal Rosogolla). OpIndia also gets the report from Mr Chinnaraja G Naidu, Assistant Registrar of Trade Marks & GI, that the GI status had given to the Banglar Rosogolla, not to the "Rasagola" or "Rasgulla". 


After that Odia twipples got fire on Mamata Banarjee and on our Government too. Some also made funny pictures on Odisha government and Mamata.

After that Odisha CM's twitter handle had tweeted a photo about to apply for the GI status for Odishara Rasagola.


And finally, the truth came for the Odia people that, Odisha had not applied for the GI tag.


On 15th November, finally, the officer woke up and arrange a meeting for the GI tag. 



And then decided to apply for the GI status by searching for proper proof again and God knows when they would apply for it.

Smog in Delhi

Smog in Delhi
Delhi it the capital of India and it is like another heart of India as compared to Mumbai, Kolkatta and Chennai. Once upon a time, Delhi was the main attraction of India. Even today more number of foreigners come to Delhi to visit the historical attractions like Tajmahal, India Gate, Kutab Minar etc. Since, it's the capital of India, more number of people used to go there. And it's the grown up city in India.


It's become like a trend to live in the big cities like Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Delhi, Kokatta etc. For that reason, a big issue arises daily know as traffic jam. The city has more population than it's capacity. To grow the city faster we cut the trees and made a grown up city. But now another important and big problem arose in Delhi that the pollution. Yes, to avoid the pollution, which need is tree. But we had cut them before. So, now the total environment is surrounded by smog.

Mainly we know about the fog which is mixture forms in winter and it create a small problem. But more number of people enjoy the fog. But, smog is another form of mixture which forms by the combination of smoke and fog. Mainly the fog mixed the chemical smoke originating from the plants, motor vehicles etc and forms smog. The smog creates the visualization problem, which causes a series of accident in the same place. Even the smog spread to the near by towns of Delhi.

The time arose to think about the permanent solution for this kind of problem. If we don't think about the permanent solution, a day would come, when the sunlight couldn't come to the earth surface due to these polluted smog. In the ancient literature, someone had maintained that, there would be seven days of night only. The sun light won't come to the earth. And this would gonna happen in the next future.

National Education Day

National Education Day

Education is the primary need for all. The food, cloth and home are necessary to live in this world and Education are necessary to have a better life as well as to make a better world. Education is really necessary to overcome many problems. Education is the only thing which would become more by spreading and donating. 

A king is worshipped in his state only, but an educated person is worshipping by the whole world. Even we are reading from the authors of foreign countries. Education is a means to alleviate poverty in a developing society. Not only this, it reduces major issues like unemployment, child labour, child marriage, etc. because people become more educated & tend to do sensible things.

In India, National Education Day is observed to commemorate the birth anniversary of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, the first education minister of the independent India, who served from 15 August 1947 until 2 February 1958.

The Ministry of Human Resource Development, India had announced on 11 September 2008 to commemorate the birthday of this great son of India by recalling his contribution to the cause of education in India. November 11 every year, from 2008 onwards, being celebrated as the National Education Day, without declaring it a holiday. 

The objective of celebrating National Education Day should be to strengthen our educational institutions and to raise the quality of education to greater heights. It should be an occasion to remember Maulana Azad's contribution in laying the foundations of the education system in an independent India as well as to evaluate our current performance in this field. So on this day, all people who are involved in the field of education should come together to seek ways to advance India's prestige in the world, as a knowledge society and to focus on how to educate our people.


This year, the National Education day has been celebrated at my high school, where I read for 3 years from 2007 to 2010. We should aware people about the need for education. An educated person must change the bad things in this world and education is the only need to make a great world.

Pay From Your Heart

Pay From Your Heart

Today, when I was scrolling my Facebook Timeline, I saw a video shared by one of my friend about an Auto-Rickshaw driver and his initiative. An autorickshaw driver named Udaysri Ramunal Yadab from Ahemadabad, Gujarat who stared auto driving from 2010. He named his auto as Gift Economy which would serve to all. Gift Economy means the passenger in his auto is paying the fair of his next passenger and the fair or 1st passenger is totally from him. If somebody couldn't able to pay the fair, it would be ok for him. But that passenger would leave with a smile on his face. He named that paying process as "PAY FROM YOUR HEART".

Image result for pay from your heart

He got this inspiration from a blind person named Mr Mahendra who was staying in a blind hostel. In 2010 Udaysri had seen him when he was crossing a road. At that time Udaysri helped him to cross the road and left him at the blind hostel without any fair. When Mahendra had left at the hostel gate, he told him that when he reminds him, that smile would come on his face at that time.

And everyone has to face the problems in the starting. It is a universal rule. He also faced some struggles at the beginning. Yes, of course, passengers think that he must be a mental one. Even his family members also think like that, because his family was fully depending on that auto. But, if you do some work from your heart, then someday everyone would understand you. Like that, passengers started to love his Gift Economy and they paid from their heart to him and for the next passengers. He also pays for some children which system is a part of his Gift Economy.

This shows the story of a real hero. Service to Mankind is Service to God.

Listen to the Whispers of Heart

Listen to the Whispers of Heart


Today when I was scrolling my Twitter Time-Line, I saw a tweet from Mahesh Babu about wishing her sister Manjula along with a YouTube video link. Mahesh Babu is the most favourite actor of mine in Telugu Film Industry. So, I had a little knowledge about his family also. Manjula had produced the film Pokri in 2006 which was the biggest hit at that time. This film was also remade in Tamil starring Vijay, then in Hindi starring Salman Khan and also in Kannada. 

In that videos, Manjula had told a little bit about her life and her previous ambitions which couldn't be fulfiled due to some reasons. She was trying to become an actress, but couldn't. Even she debuted in a movie, but the fans of her father didn't accept her as an actress. Then she became the film producer and produced films like Show, Nani, Pokri and Ye Maaya Chesave. But not continued for a long period.

And then she realized the actual problem. That problem was within her. She was depending on someone to be something in her life. After that, she took her own responsibility and followed her own. She began to listen to the whispers of her heart. And of course, she felt the creativity within her. Then she felt free for the first time in her life. And then her life changed of course. Yes, every person has a purpose in life. And all have some unique and extraordinary talent to fulfil their purpose. Just follow your heart and definitely you feel happy with yourself. And even with small achievements, you feel successful. The journey to the destination is the actual success and it gives the actual happiness.

Shut The Phone Up

Shut The Phone Up
Today, I saw a video endorsed by Manforce Condom company in my Facebook Timeline. That video was on the mobile phone. Sometimes, people think bad about the condom companies and the endorsed star. But, I never think bad about them, because they care for the people in this world. They create awareness against some incurable diseases. Yes, the truth is bold and no-one loves the actual truth about him. 

https://www.whizsky.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/ShutThePhoneUp-Manforce.jpg

They made a video on the mobile phone videos. People love to capture every moment in their life. Even some capture their first date and kiss everything. Some also made videos of their lovely moments on their mobile phone. Yes, it's their life and their love for something. But sometimes, these lovely moments are shared with others by some bad guys. 

If a person has some intimate scene on his phone and he lost his phone. And he doesn't have any strong protection on his phone. The person who finds that phone might use those in a bad way like sharing with others or uploading in various sites. Then what should we do? We even couldn't save us from that embarrassment. 

So, the company made a video to create awareness among people about this problem. "Prevention is better than cure." So, we should prevent us from the problems form the early stage. So, we won't bother about the cure techniques. We should care for our life as well as about the other one. Now-a-days, a number of cases are arises due to this problem. Some even suffering from different types of misunderstandings.




* I wrote this to create awareness. People should care for themselves. So, do those things which might not create some problem in future.

World's Best Boyfriend

Sangram Keshari Senapati November 01, 2017 0
World's Best Boyfriend
I started to read English novels as per someone's suggestion. The first book was "When Only Love Remains" by Durjoy Datta. That book created a place for Durjoy inside me. After that I read his latest Book, "The Boy Who Loved" and that love story was also good. Then I read "World's Worst Best Boyfriend." I had ordered this book when Dinesh bhai had suggested me about the book. Hence the love for the book increased within me.

Finally, the book arrived and started to read it. This was the 3rd of Durjoy for me. But unfortunately, couldn't manage to finish it within time. Due to some other involvement, I took almost one month to complete it. The tagline of the book is superb, "Because Every Ordinary Girl Deserves An Extraordinary Love Story."



This story is about a boy, Dhruv whose parents got divorced when he was twelve years old. Usually, a small child needs the support of his/her parents to make their life wonderful. But this guy couldn't get that from his parents. At the age, when he usually loved his mother more, people inside his school started talking bad about his mother. The misunderstanding has the power to destroy everything. This happened to his parents. So finally they got divorced and Dhruv loved to be with his father due to his mother's affair with some other person. How a little boy like Dhruv would tolerate that kind of relation of his mother with another person. He started hating to his mother but couldn't get a reason to love his father too.

Any love story couldn't complete without any girl. Here the girl is Aranya who was suffering from some kind of skin disease. It's the rule of our society to hate everyone who had some disability. That also happened to Aranya. Her family members also hate her due to that kind of skin. For the first time, Dhruv saw her, didn't miss the opportunity to laugh at her skin. But those things were the normal things for her. Even her father was depending on her scholarship for her studies. So, she had to work hard to survive in this selfish world.

Finally, she got admitted in Dhruv's school with the scholarship.  They both were in the same class. At that time, Dhruv's mother got divorced. So Dhruv was disappointed to her mother. He used to live with his father. His father was getting drunk in daytime also. So, he wore some dirty clothes. He had to take care of him by himself. His mother was the teacher in his school, but Dhruv kept some distance from his mother. He didn't have any friend in the school, so he used to sit on the back bench and always tried to hide him from others. Once Aranya introduced her to him because she didn't have any friend also. Some parents advised their children to keep a distance from Aranya due to her disease. Finally, they both became friends and she used to share her tiffin with him.

The boy, who couldn't get the love from his parents got a love in his class. So, he started dreaming about her and her love. Someday, he kissed her and some guys saw that. So that news spread all the school and their parents were called to the school. That moment was the ice breaking moment for Aranya. Since her parents used to hate her and this issue increased their anger for her. So, she lied in front of the discipline committee about Dhruv. Previously, Dhruv was disappointed with her mother and now form the girl, whom he started loving to form his heart. Once his father had told him that girls lie. So, that phrase came to his mind and started hating the girls. Finally, the discipline committee suspended him from the school. He grew up with the thought that "girls lies." From that incident, Aranya's parents also hate her more.

Time passed away and then Dhruv got admitted to an Engineering college where he saw a girl with the same skin disease. He identified her and the hate inside him had increased in those past years. He started to interfere with all the work by that girl to make her disappointed. In those past years, he became like his father. His father used to drink more, he also started to drink. He grew up like a monster and became like a Hulk, who don't have the understanding power. In college, he used to fight against the seniors. He was physically strong enough to defeat anyone from his college. At the same time, Aranya used to concentrate on her studies to get a scholarship for higher studies.

Dhuruv found a girl, who was more beautiful than Aranya and Aranya had the only relationship with her teachers. She fell for a professor, Raghuvir. But in every step of her college life, she faced Dhruv like a villain. So, he was referred to the "Worst" boyfriend, but he also did something for which he became the best boyfriend who accepted a girl who was not such a beauty. He helped her in some difficulties and save her from Raghuveer at last.

Everyone has some special thing, which might differ from others. And beauty lies inside not on the skin. Every person deserves a good love story, that proves through this story. And true love would never hide from yourself. Some love relationships are not the love, those are for some attraction. So, be kind to everyone. Don't know who might come to your life like a stranger and become the important one.

1999 Super Cyclone in Odisha

Sangram Keshari Senapati October 29, 2017 0
1999 Super Cyclone in Odisha
It was the time when I was just 4 years old. That's why I don't have a full memory, but I remembered a few scenes from that incident. This year that cyclone completed 18 years. That was the last cyclone of 20th Century. Maybe nature did it in a huge amount. 

Durga Puja was finished at that time. We were 6 people at my home, me, my parents, my little sister and one of my aunty with her daughter. At that time, my was too small, even she couldn't talk. I don't have any idea about the starting of the cyclone. When I woke up in the morning I saw, a small house beside our main house was broken due to heavy rainfall. In that house, we had our kitchen and cow-shed. My father shifted the cows to another room of our main house. He couldn't shift all the items from the kitchen. Luckily we had shifted all our rice bags from that room to our living room. That house was totally broken. Some of our trees were grounded over the night. 

At that time, there was no electricity in our village. So people couldn't get much information about the cyclone. A number of people lost their home. At that time, there were not many buildings. The people who lost their houses went to our High School because, at that time, there were the cement buildings. Even we had lost that house and had only the room vacant. The other was occupied by two cows and one buffalo. At that time we had a small radio, which helped to get some idea about the flood in all over Odisha. All the papaya trees and banana trees were grounded inside our boundary. Those papayas and bananas were our food in those days. Since that was the rainy season, people had made some water root to the canal. That's why more water flowed to the canal thought that way. 

After the cyclone, the relief came from different sources. Polyethene and some foods donated by some people. At that time, we saw a number of helicopters in the sky. 4 to 5 helicopters were flying on the sky per day. At the end of the cyclone, a huge number of monkies died in our village. A number of trees grounded in that cyclone, but luckily, anyone didn't get any hurt from that. Maybe that was due to god.

 It was a long year to that cyclone, but people have not forgotten that fear. Even they bring some foods for the next seven days when this 29th October comes every year. The last cyclone of the century gave a huge fear in everyone's mind.

Insects inside Ice-Cream

Insects inside Ice-Cream
Once, Nidhi Aja had shared a photograph of ice-cream seller in twitter. That picture was a small ice-cream seller who used to sell ice-creams by travelling with a box carrying ice-creams through their cycle. Those type of ice-cream sellers were used to buy the ice-creams from the ice-cream factory and sell in villages.

It's the time when I was a small child. I was suffering from Eosinophils, that's why I didn't have the permission to eat ice-creams. Since I was a child, I used to demand ice-creams every time. That's why my mother had told me that, there are insects inside the ice-creams. From that days, I used to think about that and stayed from ice-cream. I had a fear that, those insects would eat my teeth. 

But, I lost two of my teeth due to those insect attack. After that, I bought one ice-cream at school, because there was not my mother. But, again I lost another tooth. After that, the fear increased inside me.
