It is now a year since I put together these pages -
the first comprehensive pages about Bihar on the World Wide Web. And, Oh! What a year it has been!
Thanks to your visits, your interest, your comments and suggestions, the content has
improved enormously. And, it has been so very rewarding for me to realize that these pages
have fulfilled a need all of you had felt. This single fact is a source of tremendous joy
to me.
Let us make the next year even better; not just for
this site but, and far more importantly, for the land that gave birth to us. No matter
where we may be at present, it shaped us in our early years, so that we could become so
very successful later, throughout the world!
Let us give something back to our janani,
our janmabhoomi! |

| So,
for their own selfish ends, the dirty and petty politicians, orchestrated by the Italian
Signora with the Bihari buffoon playing second fiddle, have succeeded in pulling out yet
another dirty trick on the poor, innocent long-suffering and badly hurting people of
Bihar. The new dawn that had shed its bright rays of promise, alas only for a short while,
is now gone. Our beloved land, in as far as its people are concerned, is plunged once
more in darkness. It
is about time, the fatalistic people of Bihar, at an appropriate democratic and peaceful
forum, demonstrated successfully that they are not going to be kicked around anymore. In
the meantime we brace ourselves for the continuance of our long-standing suffering.
We do take some heart from the
developments recorded below.

New York Times reported this item in its print edition this morning.

We
note with much excitement the laying down of the foundation stones, by our Prime Minister
for: 1. Two superthermal power stations, one in the Chatra, and the other in the, Barh
area; each with a capacity of 2000 MW. And, 2. Two much needed railway lines: one
connecting Koderma with Giridih, and the other connecting Koderma with Ranchi via
Hazaribagh. Simply unbelievable, particularly in the context of the dark ages in which
Bihar has been for a while. (Comparisons are odious, we know; but the context just could
not be ignored.)
Looks like the rejuvenation we were waiting for is at hand. As Mr. Yashwant Sinha
remarked, this government, in its short life so far, already has done for that area what
the previous governments, in the last 50 years, did not do. We note also that this
breaks the moratorium on development that we had the misfortune of witnessing
throughout the past decade. Congratulations, Mr. Sinha and Mr. Nitish Kumar ! Also, thank
you Mr. Vajpayee!!
These projects will not only improve the quality of our life, but will provide many
employment opportunities to our people, and pump in much needed capital in our area.
May God protect us from the scamsters - the well documented ones, and others that may be
"inspired" by them. This is our only fond prayer!
