Life On The Lanes of Baramunda:Part 1

Bhubaneswar is the capital of Orissa.It is home to many people of various faiths and ethics.At one end of it lies a colony called Baramunda.What was basically a far flung a decade ago , has come out of age to become one of the nerve centers of Bhubaneswar.

And this is the tale of Life On Baramunda's Lanes.

Their day begins with people from municipality cleaning them.That is their official morning,but even before that during night mankind had set foot on them.During night, people who are desperate "Flower Searchers" ,crawl every nook and corner to find and rip apart any flower . That is not all.The lanes provide employment avenues to many people like Hari Bhai(Gup Chup),Mausa(Fish),Krusna Uncle(Vegetables) and many unheralded sales person who are yet to create a brand of them.

My Heart is in the Mountains:Part 1

All say "home is there ,heart is where".And I am no exception.My heart lies in my village.

"My village" still tops the chart as the favourite topic for school essays.

I had taken my village as granted.All its belongings appeared natural.But with repeated essays on "My village" , I began to think more passionately about my village.

The temple at outskirts of village,the stream ,the hills nearby ,wild animals in nearby jungles all appeared in a new perspective.

Can WE be who we ARE?

It is a well known fact that our personality is more or less matured by the time we reach seven.Yet time compels us to act in different ways,even contradicting ways.Time is the master who controls us all......we are nothing but mere mortals.Yes,its true that we can have our tryst with destiny....but it is the genius who can dare to be who they really are!

Childhood is characterized by spontaneity of thoughts and action.Childhood reflects purity,innocence,yet the big question is :Are they still what they really are?
I am afraid but the answer is no!
A child responds to his/her surroundings.........Once irate friend becomes best friend for a while for a ice cream or chocolate.
Teenage with it brings the vagaries of mood swing.......we jump from one mental state to other in an unpredictable manner........
Then is born the working person........who if not of conscience of steel ,breaks down when time demands before seniors................
This is what Life is all about....
Life is not a bed of roses.
So,it is really hard to remain what u are all the while.
Still we all can give being the same a shot.
Yes ,its possible........but is trying.
Hope u try to be what u are!
Always be who you are, if ever u change then change for the better.
Thanks,
Rashmi

Inequality is within us

We always speak of equality in all spheres of life.
But is it possible?Basically we are all engineered to be unequal.We always say "Why we all can't be same?".
But this never happens...................
Take for example when you cut a cake on your birthday........and pass on a piece to your friend.......
Have u ever taken a second to analyse this from someone else's perspective?
While giving the first share of the cake you search for the most intimate person to you.
Your Papa,Mummy or your best pal.
But have you ever thought what someone who wished the first bite,but could not ...................
Never mind that's not the point,the point is that what ever we do we are bound to be unequal.
Take another example, how ever happy go lucky you are,you are bound to be choosy in selecting friends.
Just give it a thought............that is all.
Thanks,
Rashmi
