କିଛି ପ୍ରଭାବ ପଡିବ ନାହିଁ?

ମୋର ଜଣେ ବନ୍ଧୁଙ୍କୁ ଯେତେ ବେଳେ କହିଲି , "ଏଥର ବଳାତ୍କାର କମିଯିବ ?"

"ଗେଁଠାଗୁଡି କମିବ" ବନ୍ଧୁ ବିରକ୍ତ ହୋଇ କହିଲେ !

"କାହିଁକି କହିଲ?"

ବନ୍ଧୁକହିଲେ "ଦେଖ,ବେଶ୍ୟାପାଖକୁ ଗଲେ ରୋଗଡେଇଁବାର ବହୁତ ସମ୍ଭାବନା, ତଥାପି ଲୋକେ କଣ ଯିବାବନ୍ଦ କରିଛନ୍ତି ? ରେଳ ଲାଇନ ପାରହେଲାବେଳେ ମରିଯିବାର ବହୁତ ସମ୍ଭାବନା , ତଥାପି ମଣିଷ କାନରେ ଫୋନ ଲଗାଇଥାଏ ! ସ୍କୁଟର ଡ଼ିଗିରୁ   ଲକ୍ଷ ଲକ୍ଷ ଟଙ୍କା ଚୋରି ହବାର ଖବର ବାହୁରୁଛି, ତଥାପି ଲୋକେ ଟଙ୍କା ରଖୁଛନ୍ତି ! ସୀମିତି  ଦେଖିବୁ ବଳାତ୍କାର ସଂଖ୍ୟା ବିଲକୁଲ କମିବ ନାହିଁ !"

ବନ୍ଧୁ ଚା ପିଉ ପିଉ ପୁଣି କହିଲେ  "ଦେଖ ବନ୍ଧୁ ନିଜବଂଧୁ ବାନ୍ଧବ ବଳାତ୍କାର କଲେ କିଏ କଣ କରିବ, କହିଲୁ ?କୋର୍ଟ ଅନୁସାରେ ନବେ ପ୍ରତିଶଦ ବଳାତ୍କାର ଚିଂହା ପରିଚୟ ଲୋକେହିଁ କରିଥାନ୍ତି !ରେଳ ଫାଟକ ଥାଉ କି ନଥାଉ ଲୋକେ ମରିବେ ନିଜର ଭୁଲ ପାଇଁ ! ଯଉଁମାନେ  ଦିନବେଳେ ମହମବତି ଧରୁଛନ୍ତସେମାନେ କଣ କିଛିପରିମାଣରେ ଦାୟୀ ନୁହନ୍ତିକି ?"

ଦୁଇବନ୍ଧୁ ଆଉ କିଛି ସିଦ୍ଧାନ୍ତରେ ପହଂଚି ନପାରି ଘରକୁ ଫେରିଗଲେ !

FATHER'S GOAL

BACK BACK:

That was a foot ball match between Khadakpur vs. Balasore Power house at Balasore stadium, near Kalimandir.Only a few years back I came to know that the playground actually belonged to Balasore Zilla School, even though I was a student of that famous school. We were staying in a rented quarter only twenty meters from stadium. My father was very fond of sports and games.

                                                That was a semifinal match. Father and son purchased twenty five paisa tickets for the match and stood near the goal mouth on the western end of the field. Toss was vital because who ever won the toss preferred to take the west facing goal post to avoid direct sun light after the second half. The goal keeper gets blinded by the direct sun light in the second half. Game was of 60 minutes duration with a five minutes break for lemon break. One fourth of lemon and plenty of salt plus ordinary water brought in an aluminum bucket. No glass, you have to use your hands.

First half was furiously fought and ended goal less. I purseched “chenachur garam” worth ten paisa. Father said “its too hot for me, you finish it”.

Most of the spectators were either standing or squatting on the grass surface; we preferred to stand near a goal mouth because of better view, and less crowd.

The sun was setting on that early summer month and only five minutes were left. Draw means replay next day. Organizers gain for drawn matches.

                                   Balasore power house team was desperate to score. The crowd was shouting frantically in support of the home team, Balasore. Three forward line players were in the D area when their defense was in control of the ball when players of Powerhouse team were charging the defense. Father shouted “Back—Back”, to the no-3 jersey player, who back kicked the ball towards the goal keeper. Unfortunately the goalkeeper had left his position to collect the ball ahead. The ball slowly rolled in to the goal mouth much to the delight of the home supporters. I told my father “its better we live or else may be beaten up by the goal keeper”. Father agreed and we slowly left the stadium and went inside our house and bolted the door. “A very narrow escape, father” I said while taking out my shirt. Balasore team won by those solitary goal-thanks to my father’s presence of mind. No one except me remember that eventful evening. Father is no more but he comes in my dream and asks “son get ready for the finals”.

PROPORTIONATE?

Drinks interval World Series Cricket.

 Proportionate?

During a Kerry Packer cricket series match, at drinks interval time few blonde girl used to enter the field along with the drinks trolley. Joe Garner seven feet four inches tall bowler was playing that match. The blonde while handing over the drinks to Joe Garner asked “Sir, you are 7/4 isn’t?”

With a husky voice Joe replied “yes mum”.

“Can you tell me; is it proportionate ever where in your body?”

Joe replied “in that case I should have been eight feet seven!”

*************************************************************************************

Those who became cricket addicts in India probably many of them do not know the following facts. The so called IPL is a copy cat of the World Series cricket of 77-78.In my opinion all cricket players of present generation should worship Kerry Packer in a temple or Church. Actually he revolutionized cricket. He introduced night cricket, colored dress, cheer girls on the field, high resolution camera, replays and higher pocket money. Unfortunately ICC did not recognize the records of those matches, because none of the Indian players participated in it, powerful BCCI-- man? One day before Sunil, Bedi, Kirmani and few others were to join packer series, the Australian cricket board authority agreed for the copy right of channel 9, the transmission of games in Australia and elsewhere. From that day cricket became a ‘profession’ and players became rich due to pay hike. Like Hindi films and many such fields we copy others and fool Indian public like our Politician do to us.

ZODIAC SIGNS

CONFUSING ZODIAC SIGNS:

                                                      My grandfather (GF) who an excellent astrologer once told me ‘Gemini’ was my birth sign as per the “Jatak”. So I grew up looking at different astrological magazine about my future. My GF had predicted lots of foreign visits for my elder brother- he went out 72 times. My Father had no foreign visits lines, as per my GF, the prediction came true. My weakness for astrology became more deep rooted when a particular astrologer of our locality had told his sons the year, date and time of his death, which was hundred percent correct.

I was not a great believer of those predictions because nothing happened to me as per prediction. Then I purchased some Cheiro’s books and started reading them about the meaning of lines in my hand and forehead! The most important being the life line did not mention in the book whether it’s from below upwards or just the reverse!

                                      As a doctor we look at patients hand and fingers & nails (now a forgotten art) which actually tells us about his blood condition, liver, heart, nervous system and many more things. During my career as a doctor I used to look at my patient’s life line without their knowledge, those who expired had a very short life line. The manual labourers working inside Steel Plant had only three lines nothing else. A  Down's syndrome (mongoloid) child has only two lines. Astrology claims that nothing in life is coincidental and everything that happens to us happens for a particular reason.   Lines in hand fingers change as you grow.         

                                                  Coming to my zodiac sign another expert told me ‘your zodiac sign is Aeries as per English calendar’. After that I started reading both Gemini and Aries predictions, which ever was closer to my liking, I thought that’s it? But after my retirement another astrologer told me my Zodiac sign is Scorpio! Now I got confused which one to read as a time pass. Now a days I go on reading about predictions as per zodiac sign in Gemini—Aries---Scorpio, till I fall asleep, it’s very confusing.

                                              The latest approach by me is not to read those Zodiac sign predictions, because some predict for the day, another for a week, some for month and another for the whole year! Remember they have to cover both sexes, from college going students to very old people, hence to please everyone they make a balanced statement. There are plenty of weak minded people who visit multiple hospitals, temples and go on consulting astrologers about their health, monetary condition, property and promotions prospects in job. Young people are more concerned about examinations, love affairs and marriage life. We call them neurotic personality.

If you believe in any of the mysterious science from Bastu Sastra to Palmistry do it but do not fall into wrong hands and lose your chastity, property and reputation. If unemployed you can temporarily try astrology and palmistry near courts.
