Bihar 08 - In review

Year 2008 will go down as a significant year for Bihar for multiple reasons. We saw major changes and initiatives getting actionised on ground in the area of education, investment and development programs. The state also suffered a major setback due to the sorrow of Koshi , the worst ever floods which we have seen in recent years.

Still in a way it was a remarkable year from the viewpoint of the States overall progress in terms of setting the ball rolling. The setting up of IIT Patna , Chandragupta Institute of Management(collaboration with IIM, Ahmedabad) and Chanakya Law institute are few of the most important landmarks as it was due for the state from some time.

Our recent flood relief efforts of web based groups has been well received by different quarters and thanks to the great team work and selfless service by our teams the global community is also recognizing the efforts of virtual groups in a crisis management situation. Till now Catrina relief, Mumbai bombings and other crisis situations were supported through various web based support groups based on facebook,orkut,twitter, bloggers etc.

The flood relief team has been doing a splendid job of providing relief and rehabilitation of the grief struck flood ravaged parts of Bihar. This has been recognized as one of the biggest blogging moments of 2008 and also a great act of citizen journalism. This also got some mainstream media attention and we were interviewed by NDTV for the efforts which NRB’s have taken in this crisis situation.

Cool Bihari blog has also recognized as a one of the prominent citizen journalism blog /blogger heros and thanks to the efforts of the team we really feel that the crisis has really shown how we can make a big impact as a group.

Look forward to another exciting year ahead and continuing with the momentum which has picked over the last few years.

Blogging -Bihari Style

It’s a nostalgic delight for every bihari to go down memory lanes and rediscover the old world which we have left behind in our villages, small towns and our roots in bihar, when we get to hear or read “Apna Bihari Boli”.Somewhere it strikes a very raw emotional chords in our hearts as these words takes us back to those small lanes, simple hassle free life when our days where simple and we were growing up to understand the ways of the world.

Our very own Mukhiya jee has recently started his Daalaan blog which has its own unique charm and flavour.It’s a treat to go through these posts as these good old lines haves a balmy effect on our mind and one just gets lost in old days when our Grannies and chachies would utter them and we never realized that we will miss them so much one day when they are not around.Here's what you can expect when you visit Mukhiya jee's Daalaan.

कोठिया अमीरिया देखी देखी
भर गयील जियरा हमार
कि हमारा गांव ही मे रहे के विचार बा

नन्ही बूटी रहनी ता
बकरी चरईनी
नहर मे गमछी से
मछरी मुअईनी

हमारा निमन लागे
टुटही मडईया
कि बगले मे पकवा ईनार बा
कि हमारा गांव ही मे रहे के विचार बा
कि हमारा गांव ही मे रहे के विचार बा

Also I would like to thank Ravish who is another cool bihari journalist and star hindi blogger in the blogsphere.I think he is doing a great job of reviving Hindi journalism and his style of writing is really special.Our man from Motihari is indeed a special blogger and I sincerely thank him for his hilarious and hard hitting blog, which is frank, candid and his stories touches us in some or other ways.

बरसाती की छत से जुड़े कई मकानों की एक खिड़की जब भी खुलती थी लड़की झांकती नज़र आती। एनसीईआरटी की प्राचीन भारत की किताब में मगध साम्राज्य के पतन के कारणों को पढ़ते पढ़ते वह कई बार मोहब्बत की कल्पनाओं में गिरने लगता। जब भी वो लड़की आती, मगध साम्राज्य का अहं टूट जाता। बिना उसके देखे या देख लिये जाने की उम्मीद में वह पिघलता हुआ सा एक लड़का था। बिहारी। यह नाम नहीं। मगर इस नाम के बिना दीपक नाम का कोई मतलब भी नहीं। बरसाती में रहने वाला बिहारी।

We are lucky to have them here in the blogsphere and re-discover our roots through their writings.
