With the choice of President Bharatiya Janata Party has amply shown that it is a party of Yesterday; because, it is scared to bring a young top leadership or a visionary leadership. Cut paste job won't help BJP at the hustings. BJP looks old and tired with its decisions while Congress Party is showing chutzpah to retain power for the third time. BJP is missing a Leader of Late Pramod Mahajan's ability. Jaswant Sinha or still younger Rajiv Pratap Ruddy could have been drafted for the President's position of the party. Sad it did not learn its lessons well enough and going to suffer in the next election as and when happens as they do not inspire confidence.

APPALING CONDITION OF ROADS
Bikash
Choudhury
I drove down yesterday on the road that connect Trident
Hotel, Mayfair Lagoon and Jayadev Vihar that is full of potholes of sizes that
can throw an experienced drivers in a tail spin; rookie and uninitiated like me
would have a harrowing experience in negotiating that stretch of roads. I
wonder, even after 65 years of independence why our road condition in the State
Capital is so poor. If our Urban Development/Public Works Dept. Secretary spend
one week in the morning to travel down in the city, after their morning walk on
a two wheeler then I guess the condition of the roads in our city would not
remain the same. It is the question of ignorance; as most of senior Officers of
Govt. travel only from their plus Govt. quarters to the Secretariat and
therefore fail to comprehend the owes of the city residents on city roads
accurately. Another thing is the Private sectors who make a turnover in Crores
of Rupees also forget their corporate social responsibility towards the
condition of the city road with which their customers reach their place and
help them to earn their bread and butter. If Corporate and trading community
could come together then our road quality would improve substantially. Lets
hope some body out there is listening.

COMMUNICATION WITH PRESIDENT USA
Mr. Barak Obama
President, United States of
America
Esteemed President,
We the people of India
wish to offer you and your new administration our very best wishes on the eve
of Presidential inauguration on 20th
January 2013 . Mr. President a lot of people across the World heaved
a shy of relief on your re-election and brought to tears with your acceptance
speech. We all sincerely hope you would pursue that different vision for America
relentlessly; which is also in the interest of Global community. I propose a
three point plan once again for Global Economic revival, Peace and Development.
- Global
Disarmament and 5-10% cut in Defense Expenditure
- Promotion
of Religious Understanding, Racial Unity and Regional Co-Operation
- Direct
Food, Health and Educational assistance for Global poor on resources saved
in defense expenditure
The Audacity of hope has triggered the imagination of young
people in India
and all over the World; with your continuance at White House, there is a ray of
hope for the poor and marginalized not only in USA ;
but, all across the World. Expectations are running high and challenges are not
less formidable and time is in short supply; we all hope Barak Obama would stick to his words
as President of USA in the second term and give this world a Leader and
Leadership that it so eminently deserves.
At the end, I just hope President and the First family
would find time to make a holiday trip to Odisha ,
India in
the current year 2013.
Thank you Sir.
Yours Faithfully,

COMMUNICATION WITH RAHUL GANDHI,GENERAL SECRETARY,INC
Dear Mr. Rahul Gandhi,
Once again wish you a Happy New Year 2013; which could be a
turning point in the life our Nation and for the Congress Party. If we turn the
pages of History of our Freedom struggle and that of our Independence
from colonialism; we find the acceptance of partition of India
by Nehruji and Patelji against the express wishes of Gandhiji as the price of
freedom. India
was colonized 400-500 years ago owing to Political disunity among then Indian
rulers and partition of India
by our colonial masters effectively prevented India
from emerging as a Global Economic Power. Can Young and Dynamic Gandhis make
the Congress Party to sponsor the Idea of “United India?” A‘Sampurna
Bharat and Samparna Bharat’. I concede that Congress remain the only
Political force to execute such an Idea. I dream of a “United India” for last
30 years” and pursue this cause for last 5 years as an activist. I have a ‘blue
print’ in mind that could make the Congress Party the centripetal Political
force that could add political formations into the existing coalition even
mutually opposing regional parties(like SP & BSP in North at the
moment) and may be Communist could return to the UPA fold in the east.
But, to make this happen Congress need to ‘metamorphosis’ into
a peoples movement as it once was and brought freedom then and could unite
India once again under your leadership beginning with 2013. Congress Party has
in its DNA to remain the preferred party of
Governance. Recent measures by UPA Govt. must have endeared people and HP
election result has given a thumps up to reforms that Govt. pursued against
many odds. India
could return to high growth path and with greater equity in near future; if
Govt. continue to pursue tough decisions and structural reforms though they may
seem unpalatable politically at the moment. Eventually, we have to move from
Personality based Politics to Policy & Programme based Politics and from
Competitive Politics to Collaborative Politics; if India were to be a Developed
Nation by 2025 and an Economic Power in Asia and a Political Power of reckoning
on earth.
I may be given an opportunity to share my Ideas in the
‘Congress Chintan Baithak’ at Jaipur on 17th
January 2013 .
Thanking your kind self.
Yours Faithfully,

New Product: Laundry Basket(Style Your Laundry Corner)
STREBEN BAMBOO CRAFT
Style Your Laundry
Corner
NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH
Ganesh is one among many Bamboo artisans who make a living
on the streets of Bhubaneswar by
making daily use home items out of Bamboo. One chilly morning of Kartik Purnima
Tapati Rout, a post graduate from XIM, Bhubaneswar
gave him an order for a basket to store laundry for her sister. Fortunately,
her sister who is a very busy doctor by profession never picked up the item
from the vendor; and, later when Tapati saw the sample laundry
basket; instantly, it struck to her that it could be a potential business
proposition which not only provide house wives solutions for the storing of
their laundry items before wash and after wash for ironing; but, could sustain
an organization that could commercialize and market the Bamboo Handicraft Items
and up-lift the standards of living of artisans. That led to the birth of “Streben
Bamboo Craft” with a tag line “style
your laundry corner” essentially to value add in the Bamboo Craft Items
and market globally through the low cost technology available. Now, Streben
Bamboo Craft has developed a complete range of Laundry Basket made of
Bamboo, knitted impeccably with touch wood polish exterior and inside vinyl
lining to protect the garments from water and moisture. Laundry baskets of
Streben Bamboo Craft come in three sizes viz., Big(Rs.1333/-), Tall(Rs.1222)
and Slim(Rs.1111) with two variants in exterior polish namely standard touch
wood finish and another with Lac toning. The organization plans to
introduce new variants and products like small laundry basket and dry waste
bins respectively at a later date. The main attribute of the product remain the
‘styling’ and marriage of tradition with modernity; and, the
other attributes being strong, durable, light weight, safe & easy to
handle and on top of it, affordable. Apart from the cute tag line; all
laundry baskets of SBC will come with
a social message “plant trees, conserve energy and save the planet”
and the organization plan to donate Rs.10 to the “Chief Minister’s Relief Fund”
on an unit sale of the basket on a monthly basis towards its Corporate
Social Responsibility(CSR). Interestingly, the first proto type of the
Laundry Basket gifted to Lord Jagganath and the second one to the Chief
Minister of Odisha to seek their blessings for this new initiative on New Year
2013.
Streben Bamboo Craft plan to launch the product formally on
6th January 2013, Sunday from its office located at Nilarivihar in
Chandra Shekhar Pur, GA-41 and a product demo locomotive would travel through
the city starting from Big Bazar at Patia and followed by Pal Heights, The
World, Forum Mart and end with Market Complex at Unit-I.

Pink Brigade-The Girl Power
Bikash
Choudhury
There is a small change on the streets of Bhubaneswar ;
not many would have noticed that the Traffic Police men now wield an
illuminated stick after sunsets at the traffic signals and junctions. This was
the brainchild of our Bhubaneswar
city DCP Nitinjit Singh, a tall fare and hand some guy with turban on the top.
Commissioner of Police does many things; some pleasant and some not so
pleasant; but, the introduction of illuminated stick at the dark traffic junction
is helping the commuters and would help the traffic management after dark.
Often repeated quote; give credit wherever it is due. I thought initially, the
case of Delhi girl would go the same way as scores of cases before; but, this
time the boys and girls from the campus did neither forget nor forgive the
assailants or the incident; so do the media. And, quickly Govt. commissioned a
three member judicial commission to suggest changes in the law pertaining to
atrocities against women in a month’s time. Many other steps being taken at the
level of central Govt. and also at the level of State Government. Irony is
since 16th December 2012 many more cases of rape and molestation of
women have been reported from across the country; though, we need tougher law
on the subject as soon as possible; then, we should also concede that the
problem is much more complex and it is now the question of an embedded mindset
inside the recesses of some men and that require a psychological shock therapy.
And, therefore I suggest to the girls of Bhubaneswar
city to start a gang of “Pink Brigade” to show the Girl Power to those who need
the most in partnership with Police Commissioner. The Idea is College Students
with a back ground in Marital Arts can form a team in each locality of the city
to monitor the tormentors of girls at public places and public transport and to
offer non-violent street justice within the four corners of the law of the land
(An eve teaser can be saved off and painted black with a garland of old
shoes a few slaps from tough girls) would send very good signal to the
general public and there are chances this would help substantially reduce the
incidents against women in the city; as this is supposed to work inside the
minds of potential offenders. If this exercise were successful with
collaboration and co-operation of Bhubaneswar Police and Girl Power; then, that
could be extended to other cities and towns in the State. Do we have Girl Power
in the city or is it limited to the FM radio?

General Election in 2014 can’t be the main plank of the party; rather, the Goal
