Migrating Birds
Around 1971-72 these birds were spotted on the electric wires of the old town of Rourkela,India. They were believed to be the messenger of peace and harmony as they occupied their first place near a Mosque.No one dared to hurt them.Over the years they have multiplied in millions and some of them have made Rourkela as their home.I Do not know from where they have come,it's up the bird watchers to investigate and enlighten us.Here are two photograph of those birds taken by sanjoy with hisCanonA560 recently on a cold December morning.

Nainital lake
One of the tourist favorite spots of North India.If you come at proper time you can play with snow.Must stay for a couple of days to enjoy the nature's beauty.Bring children for a boat ride in the clear waters of the Nainital lake.
Cuttack city
This narrow lane of the Cuttack city with so many different types of vehicles on road is an unique site for foreigners.One can notice dangerously hanging over head electric wires.Cuttack is famous for silver filigree work.
deforestation
This village pond is like so many in Mayurbhanj
district of Orissa are in ruins due to deforestation
and poor maintenance .Once up a time royal Bengal tigers
used to terrorize people and drink water from this pond at night.Now one can't locate a forest they have been replaced by barren lands.
Bangkok
There are plenty of Buddhist temple and Buddhist at Thailand but they are mostly non vegetarian.A nice place for tourist but do not make the mistake of riding a taxi in Bangkok as they move very slowly and you pay for it.

Mass Contact meeting
MASS CONTACT MEETING (A SATIRE)
***************************
In 2003-4 a short stature engineer occupied the seat of Rourkela steel plant as Managing Director (MD). He was rather dumped there as no one dared to join this union dominated, loss making oldest steel plant of India. He fought tooth and nail and brought the union people to his feet.
He was a brave little man who transformed the work culture of this integrated steel plant. The problem started (long before he joined) when the plant was renovated with millions of rupees. The beneficiaries were politicians, bureaucrats and some business houses.
People used to go for duty with Hawaii slippers, spending more time in gossips and reading news paper than producing steel. He made workers and officers wear helmets while working and driving two wheelers. He brought discipline to the work culture of RSP. No late coming no early going.
With rise in steel price globally and China purchasing any steel products, there was a turn around in the steel industries in India so also in Rourkela Steel plant. This dynamic MD was an Oriya, so the other state people, ministers and union were trying their best to out state him but did not succeed.
He changed the scenario of the steel city and made it look like a hill station. During his time a new concept of meeting the workers started called “MASS CONTACT MEETING” which was held every Wednesday. He thought (misconception) he changed the steel industry of Rourkela but the turn around was due to modernization, rise in steel price, and sale of steel and help of China to purchase any steel product from India. Of course he had contributed but there was more hype than substance.
But due to his ego problem and a group of officers (Chamchas) this meeting later on turned out to be a “Raj Durbar” type of show piece akin to the by gone days of Muslim kings.
The mass contact meeting turned out to be MASS COMPLAINT meeting. People started asking Union motivated question to settle old scores and pull down the legs of docile officers and departments. The Medical department was not liked by this MD for no reasons. People said he envied doctors and also the medical profession. He missed no chance to pull down the legs of the medical chief and the senior doctors in large gathering. On his last day in office he offended the director in front of sweepers and hospital staffs in such a way that one will feel pity for the medical executives.
This mass contact meeting made routine procedures obsolete. For petty things workers started complaining against officers and The BOSS enjoyed it. Hundred of man hours were lost every week. The press got material to publish, the union settled old scores, the department of public relation, personnel department of RSP were kept busy so also all the Executive directors and senior officers of Rourkela steel plant{RSP}.
Even though the ex-MD has left, his legacy continues. As it happens in India we have no guts to stop useless meetings and seminars.
It’s a time pass for some and promotion prospects for others and “Chamcha giri” for the close ones. So it continues every Wednesdays at the RAJ-DARBAR OF Gopobandhu Auditorium of RSP.
If you happen to see how the officers walk-in to the hall behind the MD with gallery full, you need not have to watch “Mogul –e-Azam” picture to recapitulate Mogul empire of 16th century.
So the Chamchagiri continues on every Wednesdays and will continue till some MD with a different attitude would like to stop it.
You are invited to watch this “tamasha” on the next Wednesday. Hope you will enjoy.

Can you imagine a currency note going this far!! It was still in circulation when I kept it as a souvenir. It’s a two rupee note of India. See those multiple patch work to keep it in one piece. There is a saying “sab kuch chalta hai” in India.
Professor Basanta Kumar Satpathy

This old man of eighty wanted to lead an independent life of his own. The retired professor did not like to disturb his sons with his irritating habits and literary activities. He shifted to his old house which he along with his wife had built some forty years back. His wife was gone long back. He was a lonely man. He was fond of flowers so he had a flower garden. He was fond of dogs so he had one small dash hound for company. He was liked by his neighbors. He was active till died at the age of 82 years.
His name was Prof: Basanta Kumar Satpathy, an excellent orator, a professor of English liked by his students and faculty, famous Oriya writer and recipient of many awards. Dr.Sanjoy is his second son, who inherited his fathers’ gene to become a writer in Oriya short stories.

Old age business
Business with old people
The medical men are very good business people. First they frighten people and then start telling them Greek and Latin about health. They make the old people live longer and kill the young ones by abortion or other means. Why they are interested in old people? If you ask them they will tell you that they are concerned about the senior citizens. Who are our senior citizens? Some good for nothing old people who are a burden to their family and they are parasites and living to eat only but not contributing any thing to society in form of social service or engaging people in some work and paying them handsomely. At ripe old age they do not want to part with money. The rest are the politicians. All these old people have money or their children or have mediclaim to pay for them. Hence our medical faculty is very much interested in them as they are very good raw material for our profession (business)
Let’s start from top.
Hair dye is a big business for the dye industry.Hairgrafting is another for plastic surgeons delight.
Dentist charge one lac, for tooth implantation. Other specialist charge for hearing aids, cataract surgery, glaucoma, macular degeneration, hypothyroid, cardiac, lungs (COPD), indigestion, acidity, gas formation, constipation, prostate problem, backache, joint problems, erectile problems, sleep disturbance, the list goes on and on.
So you can see from dental surgeon to orthopedic surgeon every one is having a good time due to old people living longer and longer.
Doctors are aware that with preventive medicines and mass vaccination programme less young people suffer from disease so if they can make old people live longer their business will flourish that is exactly what is happening al l over the world over .People with pace maker, bypass surgery, knee replacement, glaucoma, cataract surgery and prostate (TURP) have to pay heavy amount to the medical faculty as they live longer.
So doctors carry on your business no one can stop you for another 50years until young people start targeting old people.

What is the purpose?
One old man had completed his medical check up with a doctor of his age. After the routine physical examination the doctor looked at the reports of his patient and smiled.
Patient: Doctor, how are my reports?
Doc: Excellent for your age.
Patient: How long will I live?
Doc: how old are you?
Patient: I have completed 65 years last week.
Doc: that’s very good, but why you want to know about your destiny?
Patient: I have enough money for another fifty years, that’s why.
Doc: Do you drink?
Patient: no, never.
Doc: that’s very good. Do you smoke?
Patient: no doctor, I hate the smell of smoke.
Doc: Do you gamble?
Patient: No never.
Doc: When did you have your last sexual activity?
Patient: Some 15 years back when my wife was alive.
Doc: Are you fond of girls or women?
Patient: No doctor I treat them like my mother and sisters.
Doc: So Mr. Mohapatra, you don’t drink, you don’t like sex, you hate smoking, you never gamble but you like to live long, isn’t it? And you are not doing any thing except reading news paper and watching TV!!No public service too.
Patient: yes doctor you are very much right.
Doctor: Then you don’t deserve to live even for a moment on this earth. Never come to me again.
The moral of the story is live, live long enough but with a purpose for the mankind.
Patient: Doctor, how are my reports?
Doc: Excellent for your age.
Patient: How long will I live?
Doc: how old are you?

Stress and Health
This lecture was delivered to members of Utkal Snehi Mahila Samity on the occasion of World Helath Day on 7th April 2007 and later Sanjoy was invited to deliver it to senior executives of Rourkela, Bokaro, Bhillai and Durgapur Steel Plants on 2nd November 2007. Excerpts from his lecture on Stress & Health
Stress Management
There is no absolute right way to manage stress. The best approach is to assess the specific situation, tailor the method to the particulars of the situation, and then monitor its effectiveness. Stress management is directed at one or more of the five interacting components involved in the stress process: 1) demand, 2) awareness, 3) arousal, 4) capability, and 5) the negative consequences
Just like machines, human systems have limits and breaking points and require maintenance. If you are under increased pressure, push yourself hard and neglect the proper maintenance on yourself, you will also deteriorate and eventually have a breakdown. Your body will force you to stop and attend to it. If you neglect the maintenance in your marital relationship, your spouse will start giving you trouble; there will be a deterioration of the relationship and a breakdown in communication and goodwill. Don't push yourself so hard that you use up all your best and have nothing left for your spouse and family but fatigue, intolerance and irritability. Don't risk the loss of your personal relationships or the loss of your health. You must save some of your best for your loved ones and yours self.
Stress can be Harmful to Your Health
Inappropriately handled stress can be devastating. It lowers our resistance and makes us more vulnerable to illness and disease. The increased inner pressure can cause our health to deteriorate resulting in a variety of serious physical problems. Stress victims can become emotional cripples and physiologically old and run down long before their time. Stress can cause a loss of not only health, but also loss of jobs, loss of families, even loss of life.
Stress can be Harmful to Others
People under stress also make more mistakes, and these mistakes can cause others to be secondary victims to someone else's stress. I would not want to have surgery by a stressed surgeon or be cared for by a stressed nursing staff. Nor would I want to be a passenger on a plane maintained by a stressed maintenance crew or flown by a stressed pilot.
