A Reason to celebrate..Finally!!!

Railways started in India in 1853.. And we get a train for Keonjhar in 2008..finally..

I am a big fan of Lalu, our Rail Minister . No, not because he ate all the "chara", but simply for the entertainer that he is. Kudos that you've brought railways from the brink of privatisation to the most profit making govenment enterprise.

Another reason to celebrate that our CM, Mr Naveen Patnaik has somehow woken up to the plight of NH 215 and has decided to write to the NHAI. For newcomers that's the road that links my district with the outside world and been a killer of hundreds of people just in the last six years. The wells..err..potholes on them don't even need a mention.More than 15,000 trucks loaded with iron ore on them everyday generating the maximum revenue for the state and the nation but who knows where that revenue gets sucked.The only link to the lives of 16 odd lakhs people who live in this tribal district , people have to get stuck in traffic jams for sometimes two days. Can you visualise the condition of the patients who have to come from those interior areas? You would.
