These were my thoughts when this site was born
August 1997
Dear Visitor:
A most hearty welcome to my Splendid State, Bihar.
These pages were created to fill a need. As you well-know, Web pages are multiplying these days like flies. Yet, to my surprise, I could not find a single site related to Bihar - an area of this world much misunderstood in its own country, and almost unknown to the rest of the world. Hence, with the resources that I am fortunate to have, I decided to put a few pages together that will be informative for many, and enjoyable to those who are from Bihar, or whose life's journey had taken them through it.
As I was developing these pages, some of my friends, the virtual kind that is, informed me of some Bihar sites. These sites are included here on the "Links" page. I visited them, but still felt that the need existed. So I continued with my effort. The result is now before you.
You will not find any fancy gimmicks here - no leaping lizards, jumping jacks, or flying elephants; no colourful, jazzy, spiffy background (making text only incidental, that is, if indeed, one can read them); and no sounds to wake you and your neighbor up as you happen to open a page!
Here you will find pages full of lots of information and some relevant illustrations.
Should you choose to enjoy some music, of your taste, as you take the tour, you indeed can do so through links provided on this page.
I hope you will find these pages informative, and your visit enjoyable. Then my effort would have been worth it.
Many thanks and warmest regards,
Sincerely yours,
The Author
