Good Work, Keep it up. I really appreciate your contribution of coming-up with such a website which brings the Bihari people together and to share their views/ideas. Why can't we also be a part of global revolution? Why are we still the most backward state in India?

A lot of thanks. I am a Bihari (garva se kaho) working for Ministry of Defence (Production) as an IT professional at Dehradun (Uttaranchal). I am very happy to find this site. Iski mujhe bahoot din se chahat thi. I'll tell every Non-Resident-Bihari (NRB) about this for "sparsh" of our "janmabhoomi" from their "karmabhoomi"

I found this web site very attractive and very informative at the same time, specially for those who are no longer staying in this beautiful and historical city. I just want to mention one more thing that please do add some information about St. Michael's School, Digha, Patna also because lots of students of this school are located in different cities of the world. My best wishes are with you.

The effort made by the developers of this site is very nice. Now we can get information about our own Bihar through net. Here, I would like to give one suggestion to the developers - Can you please provide message board facility on the site? It'll give as an opportunity to say few words on the related topics.

A person who is living outside from Patna, he can't express in words how much heart touchable this site is. Anyway, I am a student from Goa, doing my MCA from Goa University. My heartiest congratulations to you for putting up such excellent work. The good work has to be carried on.

This is the first time I've been to this site and its great to see the city. I am in Milan, Italy. I've finished my Masters in Fashion Design and was just looking for a site where I could see my homeland. Thank you very much for such a lovely site. You made my day.

I've been to the PhotoGallery but there are no pictures of Kankarbagh areas. Please add some.

When in India one of my fav dishes is chili chicken. Searching many Indian cookbooks a recipe is not to be found. I was told that in India it is considered a Chinese dish. Friends there told me how to make it but for me it was not quite the "real thing".

Then I found your website and a recipe from Mrs. Ranjana Lal. I have made it several times and it is even better than what I have had in India. My thanks to you and also to Mrs Lal.

I would also like to make another of her recipes but have some questions about the ingredients. Would it be proper for me to request her to contact me at frankeck@yahoo.com?

I love your website. It brings back happy times I experienced in Bihar. (Vaishali dist, Patna, Muzaffarpur, Dharbanga etc).

Thanks again.

I am happy to reply to Riddhi's letter. Unfortunately we don't get sattu here in USA. Chicago has a bigger market place than Dallas. If you cannot find sattu there or in New York, then you cannot find it in USA. Either you get it from India or make it by buying roasted chana and grinding it in a grinder. But the taste is not the same. Sattu chana is prepared in special way.

However much I have tried to make understand our Indian grocery store owners, they do not get the concept of sattu as they are mostly Gujratis and South Indians. They tell me to use besan instead.

Riddhi, if you like litti very much, it can be made and enjoyed with other stuffing too. I make it with aalu ka bharta, hare matar ka bharta. In fact, whenever I make litti, my daughters ask me to make some with matar stuffing and my husband likes aalu bharta stuffing very much. So I make litti with all three kind of stuffing. Just make the stuffing a bit chatak. Right now I myself am out of sattu so come spring break, when my daughters are back from college, I am planning to make litti with aalu, matar and gud stuffing. If you have sweet tooth, gud stuffing is also very tasty. Hope this helps some.

With best wishes.

Thanks PatnaDaily.Com. I love your site and I appreciate that you guys have taken a great step by taking Patna online. The site's presentation is slick and beautiful. I am from Patna, currently working at InfoUSA, NE (USA) as a Sr Software Engineer and it is your site which offers me Patna and Bihar-related news away from home . Thanks for taking this step and I hope that you publish few articles for us as well, who are from Bihar, sons of the same soil as you but living abroad. Thanks and good luck.
