Bana Mati is a soil variety used to put a coat on mud walls for protection 
as well as decoration. Cool mud houses once a comfort with pride are
fast vanishing as cement houses emerge around with a myth of eternity
that gets a beating with substandard Indira Abasha Yojana cement huts
to the bewilderment of Bana , the expert in experimenting with soils for
mud walls to the surprise of modern geologists those find unncessary to 
ponder over but that was not so for Baidyanath babu, a Bhubaneshwar 
urbanite who uses to visit his village Bangalpur for three days for Raja
festival that needs Baidyanath babu's ancestral mud house in good shape
for the extra ordinary service that Bana can provide now with is laments
of erosion of soil values for excessive use of fertile and pesticide !
The column ends with a optimism of 'look back' as Baidyanath babu's
son and daughter-in-law wish to spend three days in his ancestral mudhouse
summer palace !

Read and put your observation please .....

କରେନା ବଢିବ ଅପାର
ଭୟରେ ଲୋକେ ଥରହର।
ହେବନି ଭୋଟର ବେପାର।
ରହିବ ମୋଦି ସରକାର ।
ତାପରେ ଆସିବେ ପ୍ରବୀର।
ଇଂଡିଆ ଉାରତ ବିଚାର !
ଯୋଗୀତ ଯୋଗରେ ସାଧୀବ
ଭାରତେ ସୁନା ଉପୁଜିବ !
କରୋନା ମାଳିକା ବିଚାର
କାଳିଆ କରିଛି ପ୍ରକାର ।
ଅଦୃଶ୍ୟ ଦୃଶ୍ୟକୁ ଘେରିଛି
ଆଖିରୁ ପରଳ ଫିଟୁଛି ।
ଦେଖିଲେ ନରେ ଏଇ ଛଳ
ବୁଝିଲେ ବଂଶର ବେପାର ।
ବୁଡିବା ଆଗେ ଜମ୍ବୁଦ୍ବୂୀପ
ଡାକିଲେ ରଖ ଜଗନ୍ନାଥ ।
ପ୍ରଭୁ ତ କରିବେ କରୁଣା
ପାପକୁ ତାପଯେ  କରୋନା !
ସଂସାରେ ଭାରାକୁ ନାଶିବ
ସୁନ୍ଦର ମରତ ହସିବ !
କହେ ଏ ଦାସ ହୃଷୀକେଶ
ରଖହେ କମଳାର କାନ୍ତ !

Today 17th June '20 MoKatha on Nirvay www.nirvaynews.com talks on:

Workers returned home in large numbers for unprecedented situation the

Corona virus has made in India and all over the world. Through a story

it talks of Bangalpur village milieu, the perceptions rural folks have in 

earning livelihood and its simplicity that has become complicated with 

migration for better livelihood which is now crippled seriously to ground 

zero level for life threatening situation Corona has made.

What the large mass will do ? Through the story the column proposes the

industries instead of clustering in Surat, Ahmedabad, Bombay etc should 

come to the places where workers are there, wherever possible. Let even 

there be less wage but workplace near home is a better option. The boy

Suneli has somehow convinced the factory owner zipwala to set up a

zip factory in Bangalpur. 

Let a rupee be 16 annas but good that  the child gains wisdom !

MoKatha on 2nd June 2020 on www.nirvaynews.com

What can India to do for its burgeoning upward looking population ?
Particularly when pandemic COVID-19 has made people to return to
the roots what can large unskilled labour do other than farming? But
where is farming now ? All is lost in free rations and  globalisations.
The column takes up the scene through the my village characters to tell
how wise the village folk Chabisha is to go farming and enterprising but
consciously kept the factory small so there can be thousands of small
agro entrepreneurs around to address the poverty in a way keeping
village folks rooted to soil and keeping them aloof from upheavals in
drudgery of globalisation  that's a curse to India for myths around. True,
Indians must go for deshi chhatua (grain powders) in their breakfast instead
of cornflakes etc etc imported from abroad
Let Pashimaa-Chhatuaa brand triumph !
