Mahesh Muli & Infected Cashew Nuts of Palasa. 04.11.2015 am1.47

 03.00 am.

Raj Khanna always gets up before his alarm.

He smiled inside & outside, as he dismissed the alarm slider - glad that
his body clock is well ahead of science - as anyone likes a Controlled -
Disciplined life.

Lenovo K3 Note & Android Lollypop gave sweet note alarm vibration & chime,
its hard to forget your alarm chime, since it knocks you out from bed, it
stays in your memory for long.

Brushed.
Shaved.
Before his 2 AC coach reaches Jharsuguda Raj Khanna was Fresh & Minty to
see a new day on his short sojourn.

At 3.30 pm Raj Khanna was over with formalities at Darlipali, where XTPC is
building a new Super Thermal Power Station.

Just the Platform is made.

Huge structure coming up.

Feeding 20,000 to 70,000 families.

Chocolate Car.

Mahesh Muli & 2 of his minions.

Raj Khanna asked them, Sir can you please drop me at Gandhi Chowk? I want
to go back to Jharsuguda, my Hotel, since my job is over here.

Mahesh Muli, the Driver of that chaffed, beleaguered Chocolate Tata Indica,
waved Raj Khanna in & said, Sir are you from XTPC? We need jobs for my
local poor people, I am a small time Politico here.

A Spark like Lightening brightened Raj Khannas face, as he fathomed an
opportunity where a prey falls on its own at predators net.

We will give job, No Issues, I am not from XTPC here, I come from Chennai,
we are Suppliers to this Power Company, we supply parts to this Company, we
have come to collect a sum of rs.xxxx crores LC & some more amounts like
rs.xxxx crores as MRC & FRT etc.

We need to follow Procedures to get payment here, you know?

We give most of the jobs to Sub Contractors here ....who complete all the
works like TG building etc.

Our equipments get installed here.

Our Engineers & Managers are here to ensure the Sub Contractors & Vendors
complete their work verbatim.

Mahesh Muli already started his wagon, the Cleared Forest area of around
400 acres is just coming up, huge waste land near a Hill, where nothing but
wild vegetation grows.

The Oriyan, Odiyan people did not start agriculture here, as most of the
farm fields end at Darlipali village & Gandhi Chowk, even for Tribal
people, this area is too Remote.

Good God! Bharat Darshan is this.

XTPC & NHEL are truly making India see Future by upgrading such awfully
remote areas to become Towns, busy, increasing the land values from
Pittance to Prime.

Mahesh Muli was so much interested to know where the Compound Gate of XTPC
will be installed, so that he can buy land nearer to the Compound Gate,
where his in laws have properties already, where he can put up shops, build
rented houses etc.

Raj Khanna knows nothing about XTPCs plans, he is just a Supplier, but he
realised the Greed of Mahesh Muli, the quasi Businessman quasi Politico
chap from this long wretched god forsaken place.

Mahesh Muli was Short Heighted, Dravidian Stock, Black, Bald Headed, a man
in his 40s, speaks like a long time friend, jovial, wants to be a Predator
but Lord Shiva puts him as Prey in this Short Story where the Predator Raj
Khanna will be preyed by a Khaju Vendor at the end of this story, at
exactly Palasa Railway Station at which moment Raj Khanna or Raj Khundra
whatever way you want to call him, as it is just a short story explaining
the frailities of life as God the Bagawan designed, that is to say, small
fish is eaten by a medium fish to be eaten by another big fish.

Life goes on.

So is it Raj Khanna Sathya Sodhanai moment? You ask.

Smile.

Shivas Smile.

Chola age Shiva Bronze Statue Smile.

That's the all enlightened smile, you could see on an quasi enlightened
persons face, trying to become a Chola Bronze age statue, valued enough to
be exported, smuggled.

Again another Khanna - is he Rakesh Khanna flashes - the moment you take
note of Chola Era Bronzes. (Giggles).

Yes, Sire, You asked where the Compound Gates of XTPC Darlipali will come,
honestly Sire, I do not know, since I am nor an XTPC employee, neither a
Top Gun of this area.

Truth is spoken.

Mahesh Muli was Glad, Oh this Raj Khundra or Raj Khanna Saheb is a Truthful
Guy! Oh Good God, then he may speak more Truths, spilling beans all along
the 40 kilometers of roadless road made by 100000s of trucks, lorries,
scorpios, bolero's ....a new Town is coming up, India Shining Story.

Raj is too happy to be part of this India Development Story where from this
Ground Level up his Father saw the same Power Stations come up at
Tuticorin, the TTPS, where his father as a Manager of Sub Contractor to
TTPS, the SR Selvaraj Nadar & Sons, making all the Civil, Electrical &
Mechanical works, participated in the Growth Story of Tuticorin the Mega
City, the Corporation, the Smart City well on its way.

Walking with his Father, Raj Khanna saw most of the TTPS, TAC, SICGIL,
Darangadhara Chemical Works(DCW), Tuticorin Salt & Gypsum Industries, Salt
Crusher Iodine mixer & Crystal Flow maker Plants,  Heavy Water Project
(makes Deuterium water H3O as moderator for Nuclear Power Stations), Ships
at Old and New Port Trusts of Tuticorin,Oil & Coal Jetties of Tuticorin
Port Trust...... & SPIC .....so much Industrial Tourism Raj Khundra was
taken to by his Father explaining all sorts of things, the works, the
building blocks that make India as Shining as a developed countries of
world.

Remembering all these old stories, Raj Khundra thought, yes he is in fact
the reincarnation of his father, walking all the way in Power Stations
across India, being part of the developing india, contributing like a
Squirrel to the Rama, who built a bridge to Lanka, in fact Lord Rama
started this Civil Mechanical Architectural Growth Story of India.

It is said that Civil Engineers, Civil workers are never jobless.

Always some roads/dams/houses are put anew or repaired.

Anyhow, all along the 40 kms of free ride, a simple lift, Mahesh Muli could
not gain any valuable beans from the most over spoken most blah blahed
mouth of Raj Khundra or Raj Khanna whatever way you like to call him.

Mahesh Muli could begin to understand what he accosted as a Passenger on
way to Jharsuguda from Darlipali is a simple brainless writer, an artist,
an Idiot as found in Great Novels of Fydor Dostoyevsky ....not able to
offer much on his platter, but he is nevertheless a man of Integrity, can
be believed upon, can be Trusted on, so why not spend a little more time
with this wretched guy?

He got down at Gandhi Chowk, where already National Highways are on full
swing to create black veins of India, where you see these Black Veins of
Roads transporting worlds largest Coal Deposits, to the tune of Trillions
of Tons, to various Power Stations like XTPC Talcher, Kaniha, Jindal
Derang, Angul.....wow.....India is indeed so rich in all minerals.....

It is said that India has worlds Second Largest Coal Deposit, may be around
30 trillion tons, enough for another 150 years.

Darlipali is a Pithead Project.

Where from the Coal Pit just you install a conveyor belt & rest assured of
buckets of coal constantly tingling on the Coal Hoppers of your Power
Station, just sit and relax, Indian PSUs helping PSUs just see the assure
coal link-up makes India Bright & Lit Up, makes all India Glow with Free
Power or Paid Power or Kokki Applied Stolen Power.

1000s of Households of UP MP Bihar Rajasthan the BIMARU states still steal
power from electric lines, the Kokki is put during the night time, just
dont pay the Bills.

This kind of lawlessness is seen even with educated households most of the
BIMARU state people think its their birth right to apply Kokki during night
hours & use unpaid electric power.

Even at XTPC Kaniha, outside the compound walls of XTPC where so many
shops, shopping malls, groceries are there, still today apply Kokki & steal
electric power with monthly bribes to the local Odisha Electric Supply
company.

This is also part of India Growth with Drag story.

Lawlessness to a certain limit is allowed in india.

May be this is available at wild wild west also ....we see such lawlessness
at Hispanic states like Texas, Mexico etc where the Cow Boy movies show all
kind of lawlessness just like the BIMARU states, robberies, kidnapping,
rapes, bank busters etc. Spanish Blood has some match with BIMARU blood or
you can say the MARAVARS are mostly taking to Guns & self justice.

Mahesh Muli is such a part of this wild wild west sort of guy.

Mahesh Muli could not get any valuable inputs from Raj Khanna.

IB River, a tributary of Mahanadhi flows at Darlipali to Jharsuguda, where
the IB river joins with Mahanadhi at Hirakut Dam, again a glorious spot
where Indian Agricultural might is bank safed .....vouched for
success....since storage of water = insurance for 100s of years poverty
less , growth assured, crop assured life style.

Cholas were not fools.

They built dams.

Dams provided water security.

Saiva Siddhantam says Man, a thinking Man is akin to God.

To make you think, plan & act you need Temples, Meditation, Listening to
Self.

It is Man who made Dams, Yeris, Kulam, Kuttais, Melanai Thalaianai
Keelaanai Madhagu etc.....& assured people away from Poverty, Crop
Failures, Dry Rain Less years.

On these same insightful yeri, kulams we build Maulivakkams ...collapse
like playing cards......& see 60 crores & some lives lost & lot of TRPs to
the media.

Crossing the IB nadhi, crossing the Mahanadhi, crossing the Hirakut Dam one
can not blame Indian Growth & this 130 crores of populace is not just made
by joke, lot of working hands, lot of human planning made us to grow Rich.

India will remain Rich & Asiya Jothi as envisaged by Jawaharlal Nehruji.

India was never Poor.

India was looted. Abused.

India is still looted.

Anyhow, the short trip from Darlipali to Jharsuguda made Mahes Muli & Raj
Khanna ....Raj Khundra....Raj Khattar....more closer....more friendly
.....they parted with Budweiser Beer.

Raj never likes to Booze.

A little soothing of mind is OK.

Budweiser, Foster, Tuborg, Carlsberg, Martinis he like.

Like a Bond. 007.

After 2 Budweisers the Mahes Muli & Raj Khundra affair came to close at
Jharsuguda Hotel room at around 4.30 pm, October 30.

Raj boarded Bhubaneswar to Katpadi Train on 02 Nov.

At Palasa Raj Khundra suddenly sang 3 Thevaram Hymns, the famous songs to
Shiva as Arpanams, sang by 4 Nayanmars.....

தம்மையே புகழ்ந்திச்சை பேசினும் சார்வினும் தொண்டர் தருகிலார்
பொய்மையாளரைப் பாடாதே பாடாதே

நெய்யும் பாலும் தயிரும் கொண்டு நித்தல் பூசனை செய்யலுற்றார்

சிவபுராணம் :: நமச்சிவாய வாழ்க நாதன் தாள் வாழ்க இமைப்பொழுதும் என் நெஞ்சில்
நீங்காதான் தாள் வாழ்க

Just when he finished these Hymns, there came one Rowdy like fellow, he
sold Khaju for Rs.350 .....800 grams Khaju ....Cashew Nuts....Raj thought
it is a good deal, saw the plastic pack ....a small window only to see the
quality of nuts....rest all is covered in blue design of the pack.....he
bargained as usual and bought it for rs.280 for the 800 grams pack.

Its a a steal! He thought having seen rs.700 per kg no.1 grade at malls.....

When Raj Khattar reached home, at 8.30 pm, he went for a Hot Wash, just as
his father does - Hygiene - after a hard days work at office - most
curiously he opened the Blue Palasa Andhrs Khaju But pack - where all the
Nuts from Top to Bottoms are disease stricken, pollen, germ infected, worms
galore, only the transparent white window portion of the pack contained
rs.30 worth of good nuts, rest all is bad.

Shiva wins.

Shiva settles.

Shiva clears.

Shiva sets scales right.

Shiva ensured for what a small hoodwinking ride, lift from XTPC Darlipali
to Jharsuguda by an unassuming local aspires to be MLA & 2 Budweiser's cost
is.

தம்மையே புகழ்ந்திச்சை பேசினும் சார்வினும் தொண்டர் தருகிலார்
பொய்மையாளரைப் பாடாதே பாடாதே.

Short Story ends here.
