It has been more than a year since I have written something in this blog. Even though wanted to write on a few issues, but never found them so compelling. Today was one of those days when found something really compelling. Recently, I have seldom found election mandates in the last few years to believe that Indian Electorate can put issues of development ahead of all other things. Today was one of those rare days… Given the run up to the election results, news about scams getting bigger and Supreme Court finding umpteen reasons to condemn the government was really de-motivating and reducing the belief in the system.
NITISH KUMAR!!! A product of the great JP movement (which I consider was a greater movement than the freedom struggle) was the hero of the day. He is certainly not charismatic by any standard; he didn’t even bother to get elected directly, like a few other heads of the State in India. The analogies with the Oxford educated Night Watchman end there. Nitish Kumar delivered results in these five years …
He does not spend nights at the huts of dalits, because he does not believe in the caste system. He does not say he would resign if the deal benefitting a few US companies does not go through. Neither does he conduct World Classical Bihari Conference.
Renaissance of Bihar!!!
The GDP growth has clocked more than 10 percent in the last five years. More than 2000 Kilometers of roads were built. The law and order situation has improved in Bihar. Investments in the state are flowing. Once the new jobs are created in that state, Biharis can stop fleeing for employment to other state.
The state occupies most of our history books with glorious contribution from the Nalanda university, Functioning Democracies (some Janaphadas), its capital Pataliputra (present day, Patna) serving as capital of some of the greatest empires in the country. May be the renaissance of the state has just begun. Hope, it becomes engine of the economic growth in years to come, the Bihari Pride is on a rise and here to stay for a long time.
About Me...

- a very simple guy without many adjectives or superlatives... like any other human being I have my garden of thoughts and my own ways of drawing interpretations of various things in the world… Most of my writing in these blogs is around the perceived reality and dreams, because I consider them to be less filtered and they reflect raw thoughts… in lots of post I might rue the loss of innocence as we grow older and cease being ourselves…

Like you even I am very inspired by the Bengalis, and now the Biharis too. Anything or anybody from Bengal fascinates me. Maybe because I spent my college days there and really fell in love with the city Calcutta and the people. Somehow I feel there is a life in Calcutta which you can't really find anywhere else.
