Swarnarekha - The streak of Gold

The Swarnarekha River is a major river in the eastern Indian state of Jharkhand. It is a tributary of the Brahmani River, which is itself a tributary of the Bay of Bengal. The Swarnarekha originates in the Ranchi Plateau and flows for a distance of about 500 kilometers before joining the Brahmani.

The Swarnarekha plays an important role in the economy and ecology of Jharkhand. It is used for irrigation, drinking water, and industrial water supply. The river also supports a rich variety of flora and fauna, including several species of fish, amphibians, and birds.


Despite its importance, the Swarnarekha River has faced several challenges in recent years. One major issue is the pollution caused by industrial and agricultural waste. This has not only affected the water quality, but also the health of the people and animals that depend on the river.

Another challenge is the illegal mining and sand extraction that takes place along the river. This not only degrades the river ecosystem, but also poses a threat to the safety of the people living near the river. In some cases, the banks of the river have been weakened, leading to erosion and even the collapse of houses.


To address these issues, the government of Jharkhand has taken several measures. One such measure is the implementation of strict regulations to control pollution and illegal mining. The government has also set up a number of treatment plants to clean the water of the Swarnarekha River.

In conclusion, the Swarnarekha River is an important waterway for the state of Jharkhand. It plays a crucial role in the region's economy and ecology. However, the river faces several challenges, such as pollution and illegal mining, which need to be addressed in order to protect and preserve it for future generations.

Life of a Call Center Employee

Alarm at 2:30 AM woke me up. Went to brush my teeth and grabbed a cup of tea. 10 minutes later, the cab driver gave a miss call. By 3:00 AM I was on my way to the office. The Australian shift (Or the Graveyard shift) pissed me off a lot. Used to get dressed and then sleep so I could wake up and board the cab that early in the morning. Most " Call Center Employees " would have gone through the trauma called Graveyard shift at least once in their career. This is a tale of one of them - "I". Most of you probably know how good we are (people from Bihar/Jharkhand/UP) in spoken English. Not because we never learnt but because we never practiced in the real life. For us, English was an optional subject and clearing it in the exam was not even mandatory. From that kind of environment to an International BPO - as we call it - was a tough journey. Couldn't clear the first attempt of voice and accent training in 2007 as the Mother Tongue Influence caught me there. I am s

One Sip At A Time...

After multiple unsuccessful attempts, I gave up. Woke up from my bed and went straight to the kitchen. Made a "Kadak" cup of tea and while enjoying it One Sip At a Time, I thought of writing this blog. In the winters of 2007, I was in Kolkata. As fresh IT graduates - completely unaware of the global meltdown which was heading our way - a friend of mine and I were trying our luck with IT firms. Being from the middle class, we didn't have much to spend. So we decided to share a small hotel/lodge in Bada Bazar area of the city. The city is usually warmer than the rest of India. The temperature rarely drops below 18-15 degrees. Hence we used to get up quite early so we can get ready and go for "Job Hunting" in the Salt Lake City - the IT park of Kolkata. Right beside our lodge there was the huge wholesale market - probably the biggest in India (Or Eastern India to be more precise). Right at the corner there was a Chai Walah (Tea Seller) who had employed over 20 peo
