Day 8 : Making up for the lost time.

April 7, 2011

Ouch!!! I missed my 22 days resolution by not posting yesterday. Shorry!!!

I was at home, not keeping very well. And I find it weird to answer them when everyone at office starts quizzing me on why I took a day off. What can I tell them, sometimes I say stomach upset and sometimes an headache. However I have always stood by it that women need more sick leaves than men anyways.

Didn't do much at home yesterday, just watched a couple of Bymokesh Bakshi episodes on youtube.
You know what!!!
I always complained that all the TV serials and movied churned out in Hindi mostly cover Punjab, and sometimes Bengal, Gujrat, Rajasthan, The southern states, Maharastra, UP and even the northenmost states Kashmir, Himachal and Jammu. But I am yet to see Orissa featured anywhere. There are no movies, no serials made on us Oriyas. But there is one reference to Orissa, and its in Byomkesh Bakshi. Though the set up is in Kolkata and the characters are all Bengali, but in the episode Kamra No 102, he mentions the ancient city of Orissa, Cuttack.

Though not a pivotial reference, yet I am happy to hear the mention of Orissa on screen for the first time.
