Sishir Acharya

A classmate of mine since SVM College days, Sishir visited Rourkela recently to attend a family function of a close family member and came to know of myself staying here. It was a memorable meeting after more than three decades but the face remains the same. Sishir works for the Govt. of Orissa and has been mostly posted in coastal districts. He's about to superannuate in August this year. We had a very cosy evening at his relation's place in Koelnagar on 2nd April 2009 and called both Shyama and Asit, Unfortunately both of them were out of town and therefore Sishir couldn't meet them this time.Hoping for a next time from Sishir with all four of us.

Tulu-Purnendu passes away

From Tulu-Purnendu

Till now, it was our earlier generation who used to leave for their heavenly abode in regular interval. But today on 1st February 2009 my own childhood friend Tulu i.e. Purnendu passed away with a massive heart attack. We were class mates in SK Academy and SVM College. He hails from Chatara which was considered a part of Jagatsinghpur town in seventies and eighties. Today the village is fully merged to the township of Jagatsinghpur. A loving personality, Tulu decided to stay put in Jagatsinghpur after completing his Master's in Arts from Utkal University to look after his parents and the ancestral home and properties. He also went into small business ventures particularly with Jhunu. Tulu was a regular figure in Sana Bazar everyday with Jhunu. Sociable and very caring he had heart related problems a couple of years back and was on medication but today's attack was so severe that Tulu couldn't reach Cuttack. We'll all miss Tulu. May God keep the departed soul in rest and provide enough courage to his family members to bear his untimely demise.
