MoKatha Published on 26th May '21 Nirvay Odia newspaper, Bhubaneswar. How a piece of information gets hidden / changed and transmoitted across the Globe so the truth never may reappear as it was in the war of Mahabharat, it was not clear for Guru Dronacharjya who was that Aswathamma killed in the war, as the Sri Krishna put the message in muddy sound waves of the war field on belowing his conch shell so the truth remained hidden; so now it appears truth of the orgin of the Covid-19 virus will remain hidden behind talks,cross-talks and half-talks. Enjoy the Sunday in lockdown, read and comment if you find time. Stay safe and Stay Khush !

Published on 19th May 21 on Nirvay MoKatha takes a simile of Samrat Bimbisar arrested by his son Ajatasatru. The king laments and makes a selfanalysis what gone wrong with him for that he gets punished and have to die biting the his mighty arms those are now defunct like the present days humanity who can march to Mars but finds self hapeless to meet a tiny virus that's now alleged as the manmade one like Ajatsatru !

MoKatha Published on www.nirvaynews.com Odia newspaper 12th May : The agony of town has been for sleepless nights for halogen lights hovering over the city from dusk to dawn, denying urban kids to watch starry sky, full moon nights thus depriving them in understanding the cosmic beauty that has touch of the Divine most required to shape of a child in growing to a fullsome indvidual with glory of Divine to wade through the worldly mess and to reach at the pot of bliss the life carries on Earth; Take out your kids to the terrace, switch off lights and give them a telescope to scan the sky and let them dance as the stars twinkle.

||| KUTA |||

This MoKatha column is published on 5th May 21 Nirvay Odia nespaper www.nirvaynews.com The column talks of kuta scheming to get your interest done with. A scheming person can be as ruthless as Shakuni of Mahabharata. But, having niti in kuta i.e. kutniti is a different kind scheming that doesn't violate lakshmanrekha of humanity dharma. Kutniti i.e. diplomacy is another kind where the dharma is two folds due to the Nation and Humanity. Kutanigyan, a diplomat has to decide the priority of these two as the time demands. KutaNiti i.e. diplomacy is under taste in pandemic particulalry in vaccine business. How much niti and how much business will be there puts the Nations with vaccine at a dharmasankat i.e. a serious ethical question. Friends (Odia knowing) please read the column with spices, the quotes and anecdotesfrom scriptures and modern Odia writing style of an NRO, any gone out of conventions may be pardoned. #StaySafe #WeWinCorona

||| AkhaDa |||

28th April '21 Nirvay Odia newspaper MoKatha on AkhaDa. AkhaAda in a place at the solitary end of a village where youngs make their evenings. It was there before. A small mud house built by villagers were for boys to practice open-air opera. But Akhada came in medieval times to upkeep dharma from the cruel mogul invaders who killed Hindus, terrorised, broken temples and tortured non-muslims with heavy taxation. Sadhus turned soldiers for guarding the Dharma. Now moderns tell them unkempt uncivilised forgettign the community was among the first freedom fighters. Now even many educated you may find among those Sadhus. They are given their due respect in sah-shnan in Ganga. The MoKatha goes with narratives of yesterday Akhada to medieval Akhada. Wish you will love it to put few comments ! Ceers !
