Prologue

Our magazine "Aama Odisha" has been parented by "Aama Odisha" community in Orkut. When we started this magazine, we didn't have the slightest idea about the fact that few more magazines bearing the same name are being published by different publishing groups in Odisha. Though we tried our level best to change its name, several bottlenecks prevented us from doing so; as if it was the omnipotent God's sole desire!

But then, Shakespeare had said in "Romeo and Juliet" ~~
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."
Many people from among our esteemed readers asked me about why we haven't preferred some other name for this magazine, one which would be multifarious in nature and interests. But to speak the truth, I seriously believe that "I am in love with this name Aama Odisha... the name which has given a soul to my soul!"
Am I sounding regional, sectional or personal in my voice? I apologise if I seem so, but I believe a person can be bounded by geographical territory and specific emotional-social-religious thoughts and ideals but his heart carrying a pure conscience and soul carrying eternity is free of every bondage that spreads wings over the world with a blink of an eye...
That is the very purpose and nature of our magazine "Aama Odisha".
