Abhimanyu Samantasinghar Marg - Bhubaneswar Road Renamed

Yesterday, eminent writer and artist, Shri J.P.Das, shared a Facebook post with an image regarding renaming of a road in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India.

A particular road that was previously named as "Abhimanyu Samantasinghar Marg" is now known as "Saint Mother Teresa Marg."

How did this happen? 

When did this happen? 

Information is usually not known unless shared.

That is how people become aware.

I first came to know about the incident in 2018 from Shri Prakash Nayak, one of the activists who had raised his voice against the issue.

But, when did the road-name-change happen? In year 2016!

This news-report in the Times of India has more info.

Heart, Reflection And More

"The world is selfish, take care my delicate one!

There are sudden thunderstorms & sometimes no sun! 

People enter & exit from our lives without fail.

Things don't stay fresh; enjoy them before they're stale."

I always thought of them first & let them have their way.

They milked my meekness; I overheard them say-

"She is so meek! She has a lot to learn & unearth!"

I told my brain- "The meek shall inherit the earth".

The Flood

The formidable dam of the past bursts at this hour:
The deluge and flood overwhelms my heart,
The waters lose no time to smartly play their part, 

Stirred and shaken, I shrink, shrivel and cower, 

Thorns pierce; I'm like an unloved trampled flower.

Bulls-eye! I'm the real target hit by the flood-dart...

Is it too late to journey ahead in my bedecked cart? 

Rejuvenate my once-upon-a-time spirit and power? 

About The Muse

When he first saw the maiden fair,
It was love at first sight pure & rare.
While he fell in  love, she didn't care...

He found her perfect; to woo her he was game.
He sought her attention, she found him lame.
When he invited her for a date, she never came!
