Poem Title: Bangle Seller Girl
By: Dr. N. M. Leepsa

Oh beautiful girl, the  future bride
Buy those colorful bangles from me
I can see endless love for person on your side
With whom your entire life you want to be. 
Our life is like a roller coaster ride
Of drops of blood, sweat, and tears
Still, we see brighter side of life with pride
Because of the customer like you who cares
The heavy rain and the piles of dust
Along with clouds of storm & so tough
Buried my trade for many days in heaps of rust
You have come like new day & a ray of hope
You have flawless face with best of youth
Bangles will add beauty to your naked & bare hands
I will get enough to spend from hands to mouth
And this artist toil will not go vain in sands
Show your hands for those bangles that shine
Help this mother's hand, this heart  will bless
I will also go home as I have to wait for child of mine
When all will praise you again come me, come to this place

Lessons from a Matchstick

We know that a match is a flammable object for lighting a fire in required situation. This match sticks even though very small but can teach big lessons. It rubs itself on the rough surface again and again until it burns to ignite the light. The first lesson is that if you want to get something from life, you have bet ready to rub yourself to difficult situations of life. You should be ready to face the hurdles of life. The second lesson is that just like the match stick burns itself to light candles and lamps, if you have something never hesitate to share with others if the person is in need of it. If you have small amount of knowledge share it to others who may come out with new knowledge for the benefit of all.

Odisha: Memories Recollected

When I thought to pen down something for the Kalinga Samaj e-magazine, I was puzzled while selecting a topic, because many years have passed, I would have written anything in odia. Then I  remembered about my school days and my odia lessons. I just could not just control myself to stop laughing for number of incidents relating to my subject odia in my school days- our odia teacher, the handwritings, the essay competitions, the odia idioms, story writing assignments, punishments, examinations days, daddy’s practise sessions and lots more. Childhood days are amazing in classroom, but a little tough for an English medium student in the odia class. With time, the love for the mother tongue grows, the tough subject seems a treasure to the heart and life. No one in this world, who are born and brought up in Odisha, would have forgotten the childhood day’s lullaby sang by their mother. Every night before we sleep, we hear “aa janha mamun sarada shashi; mo kahnu hatha re padhe tu
