From the pen APN
Yesterday I saw a speaker speaking
in the auditorium of my college. He ruthlessly drew my attention to the abject
poverty and continuing inactivity and lethargy of Odisha people. The people of
Odisha enjoy 1 rupee rice; engage themselves in cheap entertainment and conduct
no productive activity. Once a valiant race is now sinking deeper and deeper
into sheer effeminacy. And the situation is gloomily spiralling into the
abysmal degeneration of a hitherto self-sufficient, self-reliant race.
I was stunned and deeply felt the
gravity of his point. But I was somewhat relieved when he painted a hopeful
picture that exclusively centred around the generation Y.
"Strong actions, bold steps
and determined attitude of the Odisha Youth are the only hope which may ameliorate
such despicable situations of our race.
Writing romantic poetry, watching
teleserials, staging record dance, boozing by the roadside cannot help anymore.
Work…..Work….Work….Work……Work with all dedication; take all responsibilities on
your shoulders. Exert yourselves to the fullest limit, ye the youths of Odisha,
and redesign the fate of this lovely wonderful state.
We are the change makers and we
shall wake up from the torpor because Odisha shall rise again."
