Tell your friends about PatnaDaily.Com

I have been reading some comments by some of you. Most of your expressions are done so well. I must state that I feel very positive at times whenever I see some of you as speakers/writers/readers on this net expressing your views, desires to see our great Bihar on a path to re-building it once again for our secured, prosperous, joyful future, full of real anand. Where else can one find a place of fun other than Patna to enjoy all great things in life?

Having lived in Canada for thirty four years and achieved most basic needs of life as well as now being the first Bihari MLA in Canadian history, I feel very homesick, very sad as well as challenged when I see images of Ganga from the famous Ghats of Patna, (Aaye kahaa sey ganga, jayey kahaa rey?), the Great Gol Ghar, Exhibition Road, Patna College, the over crowded Patna Junction Railway station and all Paan wala shops who just transmitted the pleasure, the real joys of "Zindagee to usee ko kahtein hai jo basar terey saath hotee hai".

Anyways, I got a little carried away on my puranee yaadein. Let us see how and what needs to be done to make Bihar once again safe, secured and the most caring and loving place on the globe. Believe you me, it was like that when I left India in 1969.

Dear PatnaDaily.Com,

I am calling out from Mauritius. You have been instrumental in helping me trace Kowarah (between Arrah and Jagdishpur), the village of my ancestor who arrived in Mauritius in 1859. The contact you provided me with, has been partly helpful. Can somebody give me some more details on Kowarah? A local map showing the village, even a sketch would be wonderful. I am planning to visit the village next year.

Thanks, once again, from the bottom of my heart.

I am from Karachi, Pakistan.This is a great site and I keep myself updated with the news that are coming here. Could you also please put some pictures, history, addresses, phone numbers, e-mails and photo gallery of MALLICK COMMUNITY OF BIHAR so we Bihari Mallicks can contact each other. I will be very kind and thankful of all.

Mallick Muhammed Assad Dawoodi, Pakistan

My heartiest and sincerest congrats for having created this site. It's fabulous and so nostalgic to be able to beckon your old friends who were at one point of time reckoned much more than him/herself. Aah, where are those moments now? You have really served us by providing this platform! Thanks again.

Dr. Amarnath Thakur

First off, let me congratulate you guys for the wonderful work. It's truly amazing to see that there are still people in Patna who have the time and willingness to do something for the city.
I would be glad to help in anyway for this project. please feel free to ask.

Rajat Pandit, Senior IT Consultant

It is with great thanks to PatnaDaily.Com for helping me learn all I can about Patna. With all the times I have been to my in-law's home in
Patna, now being home here in the U.S. my fond memories of Patna are only a click away. Thank you!

I feel pain when I hear the news of completely collapsing system in Bihar. It seems that the jungle raj is not enough to describe the situation in Bihar. I am a Bihari and feel ashamed when our colleagues and friends talk about the complete anarchy in every sphere there. It looks to me that there is no place for the honest people there. One has to be corrupt and criminal-minded to survive there.

I hope and pray that the old glory of Bihar will return in our life time.

I need to connect with People from Bihar. I am in Canada for the past 34 years. I am an MLA in Winnipeg Manitoba and a Legislative Assistance to Premier of Manitoba. In Canada, I believe, I am the first and only one Bihari to be elected as MLA and an official to be sitting on the Government Benches in Canada.

I love my birth place and see a lot of future for young people in that state. The Land of Lord Buddha, Samrat Ashok, Dr Rajendra Prasad, Loknayak Jay Prakash Narayan, must give birth to new BIhar which would bring prosperity and happiness to millions of great people living in Bihar. I need to know how can I help re-build Bihar?

Wow!!! its great, really I am feeling very excited to see our Pataliputra site on Net. On the behalf of all the Biharis from BARC, MITRA BIHAR, Mumbai, bunch of thanks to the full team of PatnaDaily. I'm from Nawada, and hope we will see our city tourist place "KAKOLAT FALL" also. Keep it up.

Thanks for putting my school (ST Severin's) photo on your site, its a treasure to me.

Ravi Ranjan

I visited your site for the first time and I am really impressed with the kind of information. Photo gallery is too good. I appreciate the initiative of the site owner. I would suggest to include updated information regarding education, job-related information, career and opportunity aspects. Please include recipes of Bihar under it's category. Job well done indeed.

Akshay P. Poddar

Wonderful site! Well done, folks! A pleasant surprise indeed. I am from Patna so it gives me a nostalgic feeling. Keep us informed about what's going on there. Just one advise - do not follow the English media style. Catch people's nerves by 'Bharatiya' thinking approach. I am sure you will.

I have been living in UK for 6 years and haven't visited Patna since then. It's nice to see the pictures of Patna especially my school St. Joseph's Convent and Exhibition Road. I am proud of Patna and miss it. Thanks for your good work.

I lived in Patna for a while, and also traveled to some other parts of Bihar. Believe me, Patna is the greatest place to live... especially Pataliputra Colony. And Laloo Yadav is the greatest guy, at least he is not a pakhandi, like many other politicans. (If you meet him please convey him my regards).

I miss Banda Ashram (behind Sri Krishna Puri) and Ashok Singh, his brother Dharminder Singh and the other members of their family.

Patna is Great! It's roads are as good as in any other state (I have traveled all over India). Except one patch between Pataliputra Colony and New Pataliputra Colony which was only better than the worst that I have seen in Delhi and Mumbai (I won't mention Kolkata).

Samuel Bastian

It's really good to see our Patna on the web. Keep it up and please update the information on regular basis.
