i was in india for sometime..rather for a small time(time just passed away).i had in my mind for quite some time to pay a visit to KAALIA...but each time i could make it to ODISHA(not orissa) i just couldnot make it to "KAALIA’S CHARANA"owing to some insignificant things which killed my time there.

THANK JAGAKAALIA I COULD MAKE IT THIS TIME!

And I started....NILA PATAKA BANA guided me.. there is a lovely place called PIPILI just twenty kms away bhubaneswar(not bhunswar :-) ) wherein i bought some chanduas(guess it’s the right plural) which have ,back here, become a great hit ! (i gifted that to my "GORI AMERICAN CLIENT" n few other firangees(right one...check whether this plural is okay!))..enof of pipili...

tapare chotta break: paida(coconut) pii li :-) AAHH!

then driving through saakhigopal and batamangala("mobile PRANAM") i finally reached there....my destination..SHREEKSHETRA...SINGHADWARA. to my delight it turned out to be KARTIKA PURNIMA.. ...i earned some PUNYA(..hopefully i’ll be cremated at SWARGADWARA ;-) )

i tell u what...puri has got a charm of it’s own...there is something which makes you forget the dirt,the crowd,the inconvenience, the noise(i am excluding JAGA’S BHAJANA OFCOURSE)...infact everything .....i swear there is something..maybe divine...maybe there is something which makes you blind,deaf and ofcourse you are dumbfounded before HIS greatness .you feel like staying back atleast returning once again.... You even forget about PANDAS(not rama panda) and let them cheat you...all in the name of god (menna say ama KAALIA) well there are some guys who find this very foolish.maybe i’ve turned into a fool blind.

but i can’t help it.

JAGA AAGA RE KAHA RA CHALE.SE SABU THARU BADA HERO.

POSTSCRIPT: the author of this indistinct piece listens to SREE JAGANNATH bhajan and is in deep repentance that he could not eat SREE MAHAPRASAD(abhada) on that fateful day....he can not even have pakhala here ..thankfully there is a temple in cleveland where LORD JAGGANATH resides with his elder brother and younger sister(no marks for guessing their names correct)

HAPPY ENDING....
