No pen drives this time !
No pen drives this time !
Welcome back on this busy Monday morning! Sorry folks, with Bharat sarkar playing net nanny, blogs were down last week!
Yet another tycoon has touched down at the normally deserted Bhubaneswar airport! The chhota Ambani arrived even before the ink had dried on the kabadiwallah’s university pact. He announced the mother of all investment proposals! 61,500 crores !
It was hilarious to hear that one of the world’s biggest semi-literate non ferrous metal crook has decided to set up a world class university to churn out Nobel prize winners and Olympic champs. Does the idiot think that he can bribe the Nobel or Olympic jury, the way he buys up our netas and babus?
Our hassled babus have just no time nowadays to push files and meet ordinary folks like you and me! Much against their wishes, they have to wear their stuffy suits in this bloody humidity and turn into waiters to usher in banias heading for MOU land. And later on they also have to put on fake grins before TV cameras to play act and nod approvingly about the fairy tale project announcements.
With all this talk of mega crores, I am sure child sale and starvation deaths will be only found in historical films on Orissa! Nowadays, if you arrive for an MOU which is less than 10,000 crores, even the liftman at the Secretariat will not talk to you!
Without Lord Jagannath’s blessings nothing happens in the poorest state of India. Therefore, the first thing which our gujju bhai did was to drive straight to Puri for his blessings. The wily bania knows that to win the hearts of the trusting Oriyas all he has to do is offer a free zarda paan or announce his devotion to the Lord!
There was a mela at the Conference Hall as our dear media bhailog pushed and shoved their way in, determined not to miss out anything. Actually, the hacks thought that bhai would also be distributing pen drives like the bald marwari lootera did a few days ago. But the only thing the stingy gujju gave away were free smiles, nothing more! Sorry, no pen drives this time!
The Queen for a change did not have his usual pain-in-the ass look on his florid face. Rather he appeared to be genuinely interested in the proposal. Ah, now I am sure the first instalment has been already paid at Delhi! Seriously wonder if the Queen has fallen for the junior Ambani, with his muscular build and clean shaven chikana face!
And the grumpy CS was looking like a character from a Hindi movie of the 1970s with his mediavel ill fitting suit and the extra along tie. Again the stupid Paika Minister as usual was looking like an unwanted gatecrasher! He preferred to sit right across the Ambani, though he hardly got a glance from him. I hope the bania remembers to throw him a few crumbs after he takes care of the Queen! Ha Ha!
A few days ago, uncomfortable question were raised by dear Napoleon, the Queen’s dreaded bete noire about how the Ambanis are yet to pay up their Rs.2,000 crores dues to the state. But who is bothered about such a piddly sum when we are talking about Rs.61,500 crores?
Guys, I am sure, you must be aware that the much touted electrical reforms in Orissa is one huge fountainhead of corruption! AES had similarly vamoosed with Rs.400 crores of public money. In any other country, the dacoit would have been arrested the moment he stepped out of his fancy jet.
But can this ever happen in Queensland where mega crooks are feted while Tehsildars and BDOs are promptly locked up in jail for pocketing even thousand bucks?

Great sandha,u are back .
pen drive is a good one ,u have writen about the journo ,they got pen drive of some unknow company ,but u write some thing about whats the RE LABINA and HEI BABU out of this hox MOU by this bloody poor politician and Beurocarts of the poor and beutifull state.
It's a good piece of writing. Can u write another article on how OERC is being managed by Naveen to serve some of his own people? How could the OERC allowed Reliance non-payment of interest on the delayed payment surcharge causing huge revenue loss to the state? The OERC has become a money-minting machine of some unscrupulous people who pass orders in favour of the private companies at the cost of the common man. It is high time these people were exposed.
spineless hahahah
U R GREAT KALINGA SANDHA.
SONA MOHANTY
Dear Sandha,
Orissa does not seem to produce great leaders any more. The only one we could see was Biju patnaik the real Kalinga Sandha. Can we see you coming out as another Kalinga Sandha (not on the paper...sorry web)??
Jokes apart, I think we Oriyas should ignore everything else like which political party, what background, what age, what experience etc. and just concentrate to elect a "Leader" who is aggressive, loud, learned, clever and fast. Then and only then can we prevent the Ambanis and Mittals taking us for a ride.
Check out J.C.Mohanty the IAS officer who took voluntary retirement from his position at Hyderabad to serve the people of Orissa and help us recover our self esteem.

Land beckons: IAS officer quits job in Andhra to take up social cause in Orissa
While the Principal Secretary, Remote Area Development J C Mohanty has tendered his resignation after 27 years of service in Andhra Pradesh to go
back to his home state Orissa and work for poverty eradication.JC Mohanty, who has already chalked out a future plan to work as a
facilitator in Orissa, said that he would do something for "Mo Odisha" campaign. In an interview to the Pioneer Mohanty said that the campaign aimed at inspiring the ordinary people of Orissa that even they can do a lot for the development of the State.
"I recall the time, when India Today carried a state ranking and Orissa came on last but one position. In every indicator Orissa was placed among the
lowest levels. I have done my service in Andhra Pradesh for 27 years and now I should go back to my state and do something for the poor there", he said.
"The main purpose of my campaign is to improve the living standards of the poor and to increase their income. Everybody should think about his state and do whatever is possible. It is not the question of spending Rs five lakh or 10 lakh. You clean your street teach a kid and give emotional support to a depressed person, do something for the society. If everybody starts thinking like that there will be a big difference," he added.
Mohanty's future plans includes coordinating with the agriculture
universities that are expert in horticulture, fisheries and animal husbandry and bring them together with the people to work on a poverty alleviation and income generation programme.
Analysing the reasons for the poverty and backwardness of Orissa, Mohanty said that unlike Andhra Pradesh, the ordinary people of Orissa were not
enterprising.
"Compared to other States, nothing has changed in Oriss in the last 55 years. Orissa has not progressed much. According to the Orissa development report 2004, South Indian States have 87% poverty and Northern Orissa only
has 50% poverty", he said.
Mohanty said that there could be many reasons for the State lagging behind. Stressing that he was satisfied with the Government service, Mohanty said that he found the work atmosphere quiet favorable in Andhra Pradesh. When
asked why the IAS officers from Orissa were so successful in Andhra Pradesh and not in their own state, Mohanty said that there could be many factors behind it.
"Here the work environment is very good. Even if politicians try to
interfere or influence, they will not touch you if you are doing a good work. Here the conditions are very favorable for working and taking initiative. Perhaps it is lacking there in Orissa. I do not know because I have not worked there", he said.
Mohanty had an excellent track record of service in Andhra Pradesh and successfully held many key positions including the head of the State finance corporation, head of Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Board and more recently,
Principal Secretary, IT.
"Now I would like to utilize this experience to bring about a change in Orissa and contribute to its development", he said.
I am here because of search results for blogs with a related topic to mine.
Please,accept my congratulations for your excellent work!
I have a african safari tours site.
Come and check it out if you get time :-)
Best regards!
To rupa,
I agree that the OERC has become just another govt. department. It is working only for the pvt. companies. Let me get the dope on the electricity scam and I shall definitely do a posting.
Great work KS! Keep it up. Wonder if the Oriya paper bhais could use their pen drives at all!
And why is Naveen not pulling up the ambanis for default in paying up 2,000 crores ? The bloody kumuti who is known for his corruption must have been paid well by Anil to hold his mouth!
To Last word,
You must be wondering why your comment was not posted. Well to tell you frankly I found it to be nonsensical drivel!
Get a life,man before you preach to the world!
