Tell your friends about PatnaDaily.Com

It is really nice to see that there is some source by which we can be connected to Patna even when we are far away from it. Thanks and all the best.

Hi, I am Prahlad from Kathmandu, Nepal. I must praise your effort. It's wonderful that Biharis are nowadays doing good. Please give information about your nearest cities like Bhojpur (Arrah), Muzaffarpur, Raxaul, Ranchi, Danapur etc.

Prahlad Giri

I have searched a number of sites, but for the first time I m really feeling that the Internet has really brought revolution. For the first time I am seeing the human face of the Internet. I really appreciate you all who are behind the formation of such site. Everything is marvelous particularly the 'lost friend's page'.

I am a native of Bihar but at present very far away. Your site is such a relief to me that I am not getting words to praise you. My best wishes.

My name is Monawar Khurshid. I am from Patna, now residing in Canada. While surfing the Net, I came across this wonderful site, PatnaDaily.Com. I was very happy and excited to find it. Now every day, I log in to check the daily news of Patna, the city I adore the most in this world. Even though I am so far, my soul is in Patna. By having this website, it has become so easy to be updated about Bihar and my hometown. I miss my family, friends and my culture very badly. Thanks for the great effort you all are putting in and wish all the people associated with PatnaDaily.Com. All the very best. Keep it up.

Monawar Khurshid

PatnaDaily.Com is a wonderful site. It keeps me in touch with home. It has to be a little un-biased towards Lalu Prasad. This is for sure that Brahmin rule or Bhumihar rule is not going to return in Bihar and UP. The twist and turn of Lalu's character can bring BJP in power. BJP is dead for good.

I would like to convey my honest credit to all of you for bringing out such a fantastic website. I felt as if I am back in Bihar. I was born in Bengal and brought up in Jamalpur (Munger) where my parents still reside. I am in an IT firm based in Thailand (Bangkok) for almost 2 years now, and will pass the good word around with my contemporaries.

Rajesh Kumar, Bangkok, Thailand

I am Sanjay currently in Thailand, born in Bhagalpur and closely associated with Patna.

PatnaDaily is a connecting medium for us Biharis with Patna and Bihar.

Shall be glad to see news/pictures of Bhagalpur and some features too, why not include these or other cities of Bihar? I am sure we will have more fan following and more visitors to this website. I will personally propagate about this website to all Biharis I know and come across.

Sanjay Gupta

It was nice to visit your site. I came here to Delhi in 1981 from Patna and am quite nostalgic about my native place and things from the place.

That is why it was a pleasant surprise to have a look at a site like this. Whatever people may say about Bihar, I know we have talents without limits. It is only that politically we are exploited.

I have one suggestion: why don't you have one section to join you as members so that each one can be stored in your database and you can offer a search facility for all people from Bihar and alumni?

Rajesh Pandey

Greetings!! I have gone through your site and your mission. I appreciate your effort to bring an exclusive portal for Patna.

I am out of Patna, since last 7 years and totally out of touch from any development.

There are many Biharis who live in other states but want to contribute to the development of their mother land. I believe it will be a great step to connect all Non Resident Biharis (NRBs) from there motherland.

Neeraj Kumar

Namaste! I am very impressed with your website and the news as well. I am from the Philippines and I have my beloved in Patna. His name is Sanjay Kumar. This website of yours makes it easy for me to understand your culture as I find your culture very rich.

I would appreciate if I can be provided with a street map of Kankarbagh to make me familiar with the area.

I am a regular reader to your "Readers Write" column. I must say I am hooked on to read most of the articles and letters that you have on this section. Particularly one writer - Mr. Raj Shekhar - his expression is much refreshing and poetic compare to some well known current Indian writers. Does he write for some other print media too?

Olivia King

Editor's Note: Since we didn't have any information on Mr. Shekhar, we sent him an email about Ms. King's curiosity and he was gracious enough to send a prompt reply. He writes:

"It was quite a flattering comment made by your reader about me. I am afraid I will have to be careful in my future write-ups to keep up to her expectations about my writings. All I can say that whenever I write, I 'speak out' from my heart only and rarely pay any attention to my mind. I am not any established writer as they use both, brains as well as their hearts. I am like many others who read your PatnaDaily and share their thoughts. It is my privilege that I participate in this column from time to time.

I thank you and everyone at PatnaDaily for providing an excellent news report from all corners of Bihar by your team of expert journalists as well as supporting a platform to exchange views from your readers like me and others." - Raj Shekhar

Well, thank you Mr. Shekhar. PD certainly appreciates people like you, Mr. Rajesh Chaubey, Mr. Rakesh Chaubey, Mr. Rajesh Anand, Ms. Pallavi Singh, Anjum Parwej, Dr. Syed Waris Shere and a number of others who routinely take time off from their busy schedule to express their views freely on PatnaDaily.Com making it a lively place to be and a place to share different ideas.

We want all of you to know that though we don't always send a personal 'thank-you' note to anyone, we realize how important you are in making PatnaDaily.Com the number one site of Patna and Bihar. In this day and time when politics takes the center-stage on all national news media, this may sound like a 'neta' trying to appease voters for obvious reasons but trust us, we have no such ambition or interest and we will continue to do what we do best - report, and provide this site to millions of people from Bihar who have chosen to make PatnaDaily.Com their homes away from homes.

Visiting PatnaDaily.Com is just like visiting home. Whenever I see pictures of Patna's daily life, I remember the old days. Thank you.

I am glad to see this website here in Delhi. There is a lot of misconception about whole Bihar state. When I was surfing the Internet, one of my friends told me that there is a website which is Patna-centric. Here in Delhi, I am a student of A.J.K. Mass Communication Research Centre Jamia Millia Islamia which is one of the best mass communication institutions in Asia.

Delhi'ites use the word 'Bihari' in a negative manner. Of course, in some manner we are backward but not in all areas. Bihar is the largest civil servant producer in the country but how many civil servants want to or are ready to live in Bihar? I think this is a serious problem and we as Biharis must think on this issue.

Naiyar Azam, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi

Proud to be a Bihari, despite all the current misgivings and past glories. It won't be a bad idea to invite some rich write-ups on literary topics or current agendas that plague Bihar that may shape a positive revolution for change in Bihar!

Pradeep Kumar

Editor's Note: In case you have somehow missed it, please check out our Readers Write section.

I feel very proud of this web site. This is the technological voice of our state. For those who have misconceptions about Bihar, this form of communication will send a positive reply to them. We can share ideas through this site that will be beneficial to everyone and we can do something about developments in Bihar.

Hasan Jawed, New Delhi

Please give news, facts & figures about agriculture of Bihar. There should be a specific fix column for agriculture.

Debasish Kar

I would be grateful if you could cover more news about my native place Kishanganj. I am staying in Chennai and always try to look up for my native land.

Firoz Alam

I have become a regular reader since the time I came across your site. Your Friendship corner is very very useful and a very noble idea. But I am not sure whether all those we are searching for are aware of this site. What needs to be done is to inform people about the existence of this site. Those who are abroad should spread the message in their circle by whatever method they find suitable. In India you need to advertise about it. Do something. You can charge a little bit from the readers also.

Pahile to hum tohar logan ke bahut bahut dhanyawad deve la chahi ki etna achchha website tohani banaba rahli. Aaj achanak Google me search karte karte ye website ke hamra pata lagli.

Hi, I was looking for my school St. Joseph's Convent on the net when I happened to come across your website. I would like to congratulate you for your efforts. All of us, people like me and many others who were in Patna once upon a time and cannot go back now, are extremely grateful for the 'Friendship Corner' section which can help locate one's childhood friends. Some of the extremely nostalgic and emotional postings looking for friends long lost, made me relive my school days and other moments of childhood spent in Patna. I can't thank you enough for that. Keep up the good work. Cheers.

Anukriti Pandey

I am a Delhi-based accredited journalist and have a close eye on Bihar. My home is in Gaya. Saw your site for the first time. I feel that it is a good effort made by intelligent Patna'ites. Really it is worth appreciable. Keep it up and make us Biharis proud of being from Bihar.

Andalib Akhter, New Delhi

Over the past few months, I have logged on to your sight and have been upset by the political turmoil that seems to be going on in and around Bihar. I do hope that soon there will be a happy ending to this and everything will be back to normal.

Susan Efa

I congratulate you all for maintaining such a wonderful website. I really appreciate it.

I want to thank you for all putting up this site. It is a very good way to get local news from back home, very thoughtful of you guys. I am currently residing in New Jersey, USA and really looking forward to read the local happenings and waiting for the day when corruption (ends, is the right word) starts to slow down.

Thank you again for your efforts and keeping distant folks like us, in touch with our home place.
