Hello! I am a one of the regular reader of your website and I think its really good! Have a suggestion - how about adding an opinion poll on a weekly basis for all the political news or any similar news where opinions of people are required? Of course, it should be about Bihar.

Editor's note: You'll be glad to know that we are working on an in-house polling system (as opposed to a third-party solution that force you to endure their nerve-racking ads) that will allow PD visitors to participate in quick, on-line polling on current issues relating to Bihar, India, or the world. Thanks for your interest.

I was very pleased to note an observation by another reader, on my message (seeking to know the location of my ancestor's village, Kowarah) I sent to you last September.

Could you kindly help me in obtaining the e-mails of the 2 libraries, Sinha and Khudabaksh?

It tears my heart here in Mauritius to read of the unrests and strife in Bihar. But I will still come over(1st time) and of course include my first hand personal feelings in my future book. Thanking you once again.

There is one more good news from Bihar. Ritambhara Kumar, 17 of Naubatpur (Patna District) has secured a seat in the prestigious Harvard College of USA to study Economics free of cost. She got this offer after her essay was adjudged the best by the authorities. This Bihari girl has again made all of proud by her stupendous achievement. She also runs an NGO in her village for the upliftment of girl child and women.

May she succeed in all her endeavors. Our best wishes to her.

This is just a suggestion. would it not be wonderful if PD starts a page in which we have decryption of all the Bihar festivals/marriage procedures and the songs related to it. An Audio version would be a boon, but depending upon its feasibility, else simply giving the lyrics will also do. I think our friends who are in soft-ware can contribute some help in this direction. I feel, if we don't do this now, we will gradually loose all the sweet songs played on Holi, chhath or haldi and matkor during wedding. If this will require some help in any form I think PD readers will be more than happy to offer.

I just wanted to thank you people for making and maintaining a good website. I am a regular visitor of this website and I found that it really makes me feel homely as I am also from Bihar (Sitamarhi). It is really great to know about our people back in Bihar. Thanks a lot for your good website.

Rakesh Kumar Singh

I want to give you people some suggestions regarding improvement of the site. Please update news on hourly basis, include some sports and international news and do publish some good information regarding Bihar regularly so that people outside Bihar will be able to know our Bihar properly. You all can start a group for Biharis also.

Rakesh Kumar

Marvelous, excellent, full infotainment. Words fail to express my feeling of excitement and pleasure when I first visited PatnaDaily.Com. I want to submit some wise sayings of Bhojpuri/Bihar in Hindi. Please suggest the way. Can we make a club of Biharis living outside Bihar?

Dr. Vijay Kr. Singh

This is definitely a good effort to portray Patna on the net. I appreciate the effort put by the editor and promoters of this site. Friendship corner and matrimony should be more interactive like search options, filter criterion. In case you need any help in developing these features I can get people who can volunteer for it.

Anjani Kumar

I was totally amazed to find this site while trying Google search for Patna.

Rishi Kumar Singh

Really I was thrilled to see the site of my birthplace on the net. We all 200 odd Biharis feel proud of it at the National Defence Academy.

Rishikesh Nirala

Simply put, it is probably the best thing that has happened to Patna in recent years. Keeping in touch with the "roots" has never been easier and more satisfactory.

By the way, did anyone notice that people who have left Patna/India are more enthusiastic about the site?

Saifuddin Ahmad

It was a great delight to find a web page about Patna. The information which it contains is fabulous. When Patna is almost written off by nation as a city, it is indeed admirable that a site is created about Patna which will help a lot in establishing the Patna again in the national psychic. Well done.

I was born and brought up in Patna City and am now working as Chief Materials Manager in Steel Authority of India Limited. I've done B.Sc from B. N. College and M.Sc from Patna University.

I would like to suggest that you get in touch with some of the historians and request them to provide materials that can establish the richness, variety and depth of culture starting from the Pataliputra days. Best of luck

I am a student of Engineering in Akola in Maharashtra. My birthplace is Bihar. I love your site very much.

Kunal Pandit

For all those of us who have lived or visited Bihar (and present Jharkhand) at some point, your pages indeed help us re-connect - as is evident from the scores of letters you receive and publish. You have been instrumental in connecting me, and others, with long-lost friends. More recently I noticed you connected someone whose forefathers went to Mauritius from Bihar. All of this is possible because you care enough not just to maintain the site, and very well too, but because you want to maintain these links of people, homes, ancestors, friends. All of this is much appreciated.

I have a request: because I have not been able to obtain it from the 'net or in any other way, is it likely that someone could provide me with a map of Giridih? It's a district town, but strangely enough no maps available even on the official Jharkhand site!

I would like to thank PatnaDaily for keeping me updated about the happenings (Good/bad/worst) around my great Patna, and I feel proud of reading all the latest news from NY, USA. Great Job Guys, Keep it up.

Kumar Saurabh, Electrical Engr., GE Power Controls, Albany, New York, USA

I had been a frequent visitor to Patna between '99 and '02. Although it's been a while since I have seen the city, going through your site and the picture gallery was almost like being there. You have done a wonderful job. Now if only you had a 'litti-mutton' section...

Supratim Roy

When I put Patna in Google, I was expecting results with little mention of it but your site's name emerged as a mixed surprise to me. Thanks for making me feel BIHARI even when I'm in a cafe. Miss Patna, Maurylok.
