Some comments on my WhatsApp from a Management expert, HR professional, Media expert, Medico, Banker, Nuclear chemist, Architect,

1. bahut bhala lagila, the culture is completely destroyed. Today, people think it is outdated and boring work but these varieties of rice are in high demand in Urban areas. Your writing took me to 80s because I studied in a village school. Where are we going and leading? This Government spoiled the culture and made people lazy. Quite disheartening.
2. An architect and a medico and a banker react to the column as ...
3. good narration and sketch of rural life. Also great understanding of Architecture. Interesting functional analysis: I never thought it used to work as rear living room/ business lounge/ culture court. truely Raja special
4.We had a dhenki in our ancestral house. We use to hire people to function it. Na woh ghar raha na woh dhenki. Nostalgic reading, liked it very much.
5. Nice one. In a joint family, this was a place of learning for Bohus. Sashu generally sits and takes out the rice from the Dhinki Bowl ( I can not recollect the terms like you) and uses those moments in sharing her feelings about each of the bohus.
6. Wonderful ! Nostalgic one which reminds us our interesting way of living integrating work place with culture!
7. ���� I had experience of Dhinki with my Aai. The sounds/rythem of Dhinki while working still fresh in my mind.
8. Chinese polymer rice should scare odiyas for a renaissance��

Awesome narration of old memories. I have also used Dhinki to some time help my AAI in Chatia’, when I been there during Raja in Summer Vacation. Badhia laguthila setebele Dhinki kutiba pain. Auu Pitha khaiba pain.
