Kiriburu: An unforgettable place in my life


This month I went to Kiriburu to see my parent, this was after 2 years. This journey was very emotional for me because of lots of reason - one of them was my father has retired from Kiriburu. He was working as School Teacher. I know after this I will never visit Kiriburu in my life because all the employees have to leave this place because you can't buy private property there. I spent my childhood at this place and lots of sweets memories I have abt this place. This place is very special to me and to all those who has spent time there. This place is very small, basically it is a Iron ore mines of RMD SAIL; two small towns are there Kiriburu and Meghahatuburu. In "Ho" Langauge "Kiri" means Elephant and "buru" means Forest - the Forest of Elelphants. This place is in Saranda range of forest.

The social life there is very amicable, we have never find conflict on the basis of religion, cast etc etc.. We celebrate all the festivals with harmony, love and affection. You can find small india over there. You can find people from all of India around your neighbourhood. Even though there is a diversity in the society but social harmony is very well there.

Till early 90s the climate was cold there as it is situated on the hills. There was heavy rain falls for 9 months in a year. But in last 15 years the weather has changed due to heavy deforestation and now it is little bit hot.

In our child hood we used to celebrate Durga pooja, Holi, chatt in a big way. Whole Kiriburu used to celebrate these festival in a big way. Still these festivals are one of the major festivals of Kiriburu - Meghahatuburu.

Apart from this, there were a popular trend for picnic during year end, the popular places were Thalkobaad, Padinaala, Bokna nala, Pundul, Chota Nagra, Prospecting Jharna, where we used to go for picnic with our parents or class mates.

I studied from Project Central school Kiriburu, which used to be one of the good school during our time. This school has produced lots of good student who are into different fields currently and most of them are leaders in their field. Similarly there are other good school like KV Meghahatuburu, Bihar School and Orissa state school which has also produced very good student and they are leading in their field. The basic thing is all of us have come from a very small & a very beautiful place and we are competing with others and we are successful this is because the basics which we have learnt in our child hood.

I want to write a lot about Kiriburu ...may be some time later..
One thing is for sure this place will remain very close to my heart.

I really love Kiriburu.I can't forget this place.i born & bought up in kiriburu.

My lots of emotions & blessing attached in the soil of kiriburu.

The mausam of Kiriburu is really pleasant,so if u go dere then u feel it.

A very silent Place where a smooth wind is blowing every time without any disturbance touches the mind with relaxness....believe it or not but it is really a truth.......

The height of kiriburu from ground level is approximately 4500 feet,means it is situated on Mountains.

Always cold whether of foggy whether.....
