Monday, September 1, 2008

In Memory of Niranjan Mohanty Uncle
In Memory of Niranjan Mohanty UncleOn Aug,31-2008,around,6pm we all gathered at Rotary Bhawan to pay our Homage to Niranjan Mohanty Uncle,a Poet,Critic &Teacher.I had known him when I was in Berhampur,Orissa.For me he was my Papa (Dr.Sailendra Narayan Tripathy),who's also a Poet,and Teacher's Guru and poet friend.It was on May-04-2008,that I last met Niranjan Uncle at Pattamundai,Orissa,India.He had come all the way from Kolkatta,as he is a Professor in English at ShantiNiketan University there.I accompanied Papa amidst tight security WITH A MY SECURITY OFFICERS SCANNING AROUND THE WHOLE OF PLACES I had to travel,if it was safe for me travel after the Orissa Govt realosed there was threat to my life following a gangster fan's mad obsession for me leading to tragedies.Anywaz followinf the fan's obsession for me n' his killing a renowned celebrity Biranchi Das,coach of littlte Boy wonder of Orissa,India Buddhia Singh.People and media can be brutal at times to celebrities.I became a victim for being a celebrity,stories regardin me were splashed across media channels n' tabloids with irresponsible coverage on me.It was earth-shattering,to fuel my inner trurmoil,my friends n' colleagues had deserted my Ship like rats.Dat was excruciating.One day I'm flavour of the month next day I'm declared ruined,finished.I certainly am learning to cope with the ups and downs of life and public life.Well wat was sad is I had no one to look upto,as I'm the first in my family to have joined the ranks of Celebrities and when my personal tragedies seemed to become the grapevine of every gossipcircle,it did hurt me badly.Comeon I cant take speculations.Anywaz I had taken to hibernation following my lodging of an f.i.r against my stalker on Mar-05-2008,and then kidnapping iof my friends brother on April-09-2008,where my stalker declared he would let go off the boy if I pleaded to him or agreed to marry him.How bizzare?Wat followed next kind of sealed my fate with Biranchi's cold blooded murder.Alrite following which I was shattered with my life being hounded by media.As if that was not enuf,my colleagues cold shoulder was devastating me.I wanted them to stand by me n' console me but hey why shud they help sumone engrossed in controversies.So I had to console my heart which had gone to deep depression.Thank Goodness I had timely help and support of a ecclectic support system,who did their best to lift my spirits.So wen my Ppa asked me to join him to attend the intellectuals conference to be held at Pattamundai.As I had a case of damaged feelings I wasnt sure if I should be joining the intellectuals n' elite who had chosen to stay calm and ignore and turn a cold shoulder to my woes.Hey I had known most of them since I was a kid,coz they were my Papa's friends,few his teachers and etal.Anywaz I've learned on not to expect anything from anybody.My life had become a regular feature in the dailies and a constant topic of discussion and ridicule among the coffe tables and gossip enthusiasts.I summed up courage and went ahead to boost my Papa's morale,who had been also been recieving few cold shoulders.Anywaz I told myself may be I'm depressed and feeling low but not dead.I should be with my Papa wen he would giving his version on Metaphysical poets.And the icing on the cake was Jayanta Mohapatro Uncle,Niranjan Mohantry Uncle,My Papa were to speak on theses topics of English literature which is so dear to my heart.Wen I walked down the college gates of Pattamundai college wat was amusing is all of a sudden the college which was reverberating with noisy discussion relapsed into deathly silence.I was kindda very embarassed at the gawky stares that Iwas recieving and to top it few guys chose to walk out of the college premises coz they didnt appreciate my presence there.Thank Goodness I didnt break down there with all theses drama.Though I was felicitated by few students in the Principal's office yet I cudnt smile heartily at my fans asking for my autographs.As few nosy people suggested it was a bad idea altogether for me to have joined the acting industry and for a english honors topper becoming an actress was a tabboo for most of them.It was my turn to answer bak wid a cold shoulder .They wouldny stop criticuising my decisions as to why I chose not to go for my further studies in the states or london,why on earth did I chose glamour world.I dont understand why people like discussing 'why's'' and ''why not''.Why cant they accept watever that has happened choose to find a solution.Anywaz there creepy discussions involving me annoyed me to the extent of driving me sick at their idisyncracies.So next I chose to take a walk down the college coz it reminded me of my last visit to the college as a Guest of Honor attending their annual college function.Everybody I met chose to refrain from my inner turmoil and chose to formally ask how yu bin?,I guess wishing I didnt linger around them lest my maniac stalker might learn of their acquaintance with me and they could be in danger.I cud smell their hypocritical smiles n' chose to walk out.It was Niranjan Uncle with his cigar in his mouth,exhaling rings of stress away,who breathed many good senses into me with his outburst of pearls of wisdom.He certainly has a knack for reading between lips,he could sense the havoc within me which others chose to ignore going by my lovely smiles.Anywaz Uncle Niranjan with his coolest demeanour suggeated me to keep my calm coz that was wat God's (Jagannath's)will.He said,''Leslie You are being put into this test,coz Jagannath wants to see how strong You are.Can You hanle and endure adversities?''That was good,further he added,''Sita was put to test too and she came out unscathed.The good to prove how good they are have to undergo various tests.And wat I really appereciate is You have shown admirable grace and dignity under all these circumstances.''With a twinkle in his eye he added,''My friends and colleagues in Kolkatta who have been shocked to learn of Biranchi's death,often ask me do You know Biranchi,and do You know Leslie?wen I told them that Yoyu are Sailendra's daughter they are full of appreciation and admiration for your strength of character and guts.You are being referred to as the Helen of Troy of 2Ist century,isnt that amazing?''I was deeply flattered I felt good after the pep talk,he also suggested,''read Lawrence,Byron,Arundhati,Tasleema,Gandhi,these people have endured a lot of suffering coz they chose to speak their minds.They endured lot of pain,yet they chose to stick to their morals and spoke the truth,dont try to escape from pain,face it.wen yu speak the truth,its a path full of thorns not as rosy as life of liars and corrupt.''''and remember wenever you think you need a pep talk,i'm just a phone call away'',he spoke with his sunny disposition.Wat I seemingly come to cope and accept is he has left us all.Now who do I speak to wen I need a pep talk.It wasnt only me missing him and shattered wen I learnt on July-28-2008 of his bidding us a final silent farewell,disappearin forever.So yesterday we all gathered together to pay tribute to Uncle Niranjan.Uncle Jayant,Uncle Sitakant,Uncle Himanshu,Uncle J.K.Patnaik,Uncle Jatin Nayak,Uncle Prafulla Mohanty,Uncle Dinanath ,Uncle Ramahari Jena ,Uncle Ramakant Mishra and many creme dela creme of the intellect worl graced their presence and spoke of the Niranjan Mohanty effect on their lives.I guess Uncle Niranjan shall be glad to see how many lives he has touched wid his unwithering compassions,never-rancouring-against-anybody attitude,with his reckless lifestyle.Its not only me I guess who has been touched by his sunny disposition and positive attitude there are many others whose lives have been affected by Niranjan Uncle.I guess God Amighty fell for his coolest child and finally took him away at 55.May his soul rest in peace.Niranjan Mohanty(1953-2008)

Leslie Tripathy of Orissa's press conference on may-17-2008

Princess Leslie of Orissa is a hero because she has used her position of power and fame to give hope and comfort to those whom society too frequently forgets -- the victims of poverty, disease and social injustice.
A truer princess this world has never known. The billions of people who grieve for the harassment she has undergone after she stood up and fought against the threats and pressures to marry the criminal stalker was indeed harrowing for her in Orissa.But she has stood her ground she would not let anybody intimidate her.She questions'' how safe is a girl in Orissa?'',''is it a crime to be beautiful?'', ''is it a crime to be born a girl?''

She gave a press conference on May-17-2008 clearing the clouds and questions disturbing the press and speaking out what happened to her before and after she lodged three f.i.rs against her stalker who is a suspect for murdering the late Biranchi Das who seemingly wanted to shield Leslie from the evil clutches of the criminal stalker.Leslie also wanted to give a dvd which contained telephonic conversations of Bidusmita and Raja Acharya which both Jublee and Leslie present there confirmed were Bidusmita's and Raja's voice and also gave that dvd to help the investigation. Leslie is the sole woman crusader, crusading for justice in Orissa she is seen as a role model by her million fans and perhaps will follow her lead in bringing justice to women and society as well stand up and raise voices against outlaws even working to end and find a cure for aids, and to address the issues which plague victims of poverty. Follow her shining example by giving the gift of a generous smile, an open heart, and a helping hand.

Three years ago , the world watched, enthralled, as Leslie Tripathy, a young and beautiful teenage sensation brought up in Britain was representing Orissa and was catching everybody's attention with her british articulate english outshining all other participants from all across the country in the 2004,8th National Youth Conference held in Kerela. Pundits heralded a new age for the Indian Youth brigade amazingly chose to stay in Orissa despite being asked to shift to Mumbai,India's glamour capital , everyone presumed her great enthralling beauty could go wasted in Orissa long moribund in outdated traditions and populated by gray and lifeless personages.

For several years, their predictions were correct. Leslie Tripathy, with her aristocratic beauty and spunky approach to her role as the future brightest face of India, brought new life to the Orissa state. People around the world watched in delight as the young beautiful Leslie attended to her official duties with a grace and style that stood in marked contrast to the formal, decorous approach of other members of the Oriya patronage. Overnight it seemed that the Orissa State had been brought from a stiff and formal 19th century anachronism to a photogenic and accessible 21st century institution.

Soon Leslie Love Ann Tripathy emerged as the face of Orissa,A CULTURAL TOUCHSTONE FOR ORISSA.The world woke up to the beauty and cultural heritage of Orissa thanx to Leslie's pursuit to change people's perception regarding Orissa being a poor state.Leslie has been famously christened as LESLIE OF ORISSA

Leslie of Orissa also spoke with surprising candor about her own personal struggles with bulimia and suicide, giving individuals struggling with these issues a role model of openness and honesty. Leslie of Orissa used her media popularity to bring attention to the needs of the forgotten and needy of the world.

In 2008 April demand for pictures of Leslie of Orissa was at an all time high after there were rumours of people being kidnapped,murdered by an obssessive stalker of Leslie,his demand was to marry Leslie,he swore to eliminate people left and right whoever posed a thorn in his path of getting Leslie Tripathy who had lodged an f.i.r against her stalker who was persononagrate for her.Everybody wanted a picture of this beauty ,everybody wanted to know everything about her,everyone was curious to know what made her so beautiful that a man had gone to all lenghts to get his favorite actress and possess her as his own and marry her. A candid and revealing shot of Leslie of Orissa could fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars from tabloid editors desperate to be able to splash the most scandalous photos across the pages of their magazines. Leslie of Orissa will be remembered as a woman who is at once supremely regal and at the same time strikingly human. To the millions who follow her charitable work, strong strength of character and her crusade for jusice against violence done to women and fighting evil,corruption and injustice in society.Sure a crusader after Mahatma Gandhi.

Leslie of Orissa love/hate relationship with media,press

Her beauty and youthful charisma quickly earned Leslie the nickname of " Princess Leslie of Orissa." Leslie has devoted her life to worldwide charities.Leslie grew from being a naive victim of the tabloids into a savvier woman who was a victim part of the time.Anyone who is not moved by Leslie's plight is a stone-hearted miscreant.What, exactly, is Leslie's role in this 'doomed embrace' . The answer will provide cold comfort to her bereaved fans.

True enough, though the heart still cracks to see how the demurely downcast eyes of 17-year-old Leslie Tripathy became the beseeching eyes of a media quarry.But eerily fascinating thing about any discussion regarding Leslie of Orissa is that it suggests there is a fatefulness, almost an inevitability, to Lesliey's tragedy."Whatever Leslie of Orissa's degree of complicity in the media dance, viewers will likely get a queasy feeling at the sight of a vulnerable young woman being stalked by packs of photographers, almost all of them men. (And isn't it odd how little the male-female power dynamic has been remarked upon in all the Leslie stories?)"'Leslie of Orissa and the Press' is after more than just royal dirt, Leslie glorification or paparazzi bashing. Rather, it explains the media fascination with her and the complicated, sometimes mutually beneficial dance between Leslie and the press.Leslie's love/hate relationship with the press led her to frequently use and exploit its power to influence minds. It stops short of calling her a tease who finally worked the pack up to a lather she couldn't control.Leslie's life is a fairytale in sync with Cindrella ,which fascinates not only press but also people,they love the tabloids,chanels more if there's a feature on her,how lovely to see the famous lovely Leslie smiling back at you from tabloids and watch her gorgeous eyes cast demurely,smiling coyly or blushing a lot followed by droopy silences on the channels ,whatever it is Leslie Tripathy is a a sight to behold!!!!!

"...It is easier to understand why the Indian press and much of Asian and International television should go gaga over the Leslie of Orissa saga . For all the reporting, the program is not particularly revealing with its by-now-familiar Leslie pictures and gossip that have already clogged up so many hours of tube time. ' Leslie Tripathy and the Press'...is a paltry sort of journalism. Leslie of Orissa has seduced everything and everybody in the Galaxy.

"'Leslie of Orissa and the Press'...is a testament to the ultimate in mutually destructive relationships, but between Leslie and the Fleet Street. Her misery has been magnified to the extent of evrybody nuturing a curiosity as to how and what is she feeling,coping with the blind obsession of criminal gangster lot of threat to her life and everybody supporting and protecting her.Though lot of effort was made by the dejected and rejected obsessive gangster to falsely slander Leslie's reputation,many took delight in the plight and misery of Leslie facing a backlash by the conservative Oriya,Indian society yet Leslie has emerged as the most famous woman in the world, yet such renown in the media-drunk late 21st Century has--shall we say--its own peculiar drawbacks. Leslie has strongly resented and has avoided the media very gracefully making backdoor exits,she has realised her life is sensational gossip for press,and she refuses to be gossip.She would love to be part of some responsible ,sensible journalism which is ironical because who on earth can resist the idea of not using her phenomenal famous face and beauty to further a few ratings and circulations.Meanwhile, one simply shudders to imagine the dramatic circulation increasing India's tabloids thanx to their favorite subject Leslie of Orissa..Its important her life is securely protected from the deadly gangster who desperately wants to marry his 'Angel Queen'the world's most beautiful girl alive.

Senior IAS officer Priyabrata Patnaik on Wednesday told the media that he had met gangster Raja Acharya after Oriya album actress Leslie Tripathy's father Sailen Tripathy sought his help. "My son was a student of BJB College. Leslie's father is also a lecturer in that college. In that capacity, I helped him," Patnaik said, adding that he was a human being first. Priyabrata came to office to take leave from the post of Secretary, Commerce and Transport.
"When a fellow human being seeks my help in a genuine cause, I just help him," Patnaik said, adding that he had helped several strangers who come up for his help.
However, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik said the behaviour of the senior officer was inappropriate. "Correct action has been taken," he said.
About his association with Raja, Priyabrata Patnaik further said that he had met Raja only once to convince him not to stalk after Leslie. " I don't know whether it's a fault to dissuade a criminal not to do all these things," he said, adding that in such a case there a demand should not be made for his arrest. Patnaik further said that he would continue to help all human beings whoever falls in distress.
"I have told all these things to the police," said Patnaik, adding that he had sought the police's help to provide security to the key eyewitnesses of the murder case and urged the police to provide security to Leslie's family and save them from harassment.
On being asked about the Government's decision to strip him of all powers, Patnaik said he has been transferred only. "It is the prerogative of the Government as to whom it would retain and whom it would relieve," he said, adding that no one was indispensable in a Government setup.
Revealing his plan for the future, Patnaik said he was in touch with his lawyers to file a defamation suit against a few newspapers who were trying to denigrate him in the public eye. "I am not against the Press. But a section of the press are trying to give a new twist to the entire episode," he said.
On being asked whether his transfer would affect the Posco project, Patnaik said a lot of work has been done. Many things have to be completed. But Posco is yet to get forest clearance.
About being his association with Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, Priyabrata said the relation was all official. "There is no personal relationship with the Chief Minister or any other Minister," he said.
