Bihar Hai taiyar
What happens when a state long synonymous with despair begins to dream again? In this powerful and deeply personal narrative, Nitish Mishra—seasoned policymaker, reform-driven minister, and grassroots leader—chronicles Bihar’s extraordinary two-decade transformation from dysfunction to development. The journey was nothing short of a collective mission—to pull Bihar out of the shadows of a dark regime and steer it toward light, dignity, and purpose. It was a determined march against odds, reclaiming what was lost and restoring the state's pride. With vivid storytelling, firsthand accounts, and honest reflections, Bihar Hai Taiyar reveals how visionary leadership, administrative reform, and people-centric governance reshaped the destiny of one of India’s most challenged states. From crumbling infrastructure and lawlessness in the 1990s to the era of Sushasan under Nitish Kumar’s leadership, Mishra offers a ringside view of Bihar’s revival through landmark initiatives and innovations. As both witness and architect of change, he provides rare insights into what it truly takes to rebuild public trust and create systems that serve the people. And today, Bihar stands at the cusp of a new chapter. It is ready to rise. It has everything: the energy and enterprise of its people, the abundance of resources, and above all, the vision and political leadership aligned with the Central Government—ensuring that Bihar’s aspirations are in sync with the nation’s development goals. More than a chronicle of governance, this book is a tribute to the resilience of Biharis, the spirit of public service, and the unwavering belief that with integrity and purpose, even the most broken systems can be transformed.
The Immigrant
An engrossing portrait of an arranged marriage, from the prize-winning author of Home and Difficult Daughters. Nina is a thirty-year-old English lecturer in New Delhi, living with her widowed mother and frustrated by how little life has to offer. Ananda has recently emigrated to Halifax, Canada; having spent his twenties painstakingly building his career, he searches for something to complete his new life. When an arranged marriage is proposed, Nina is uncertain: can she really give up her home and her country to build a new life with a husband she barely knows? The consequences of change are far greater than she could have imagined. As the two of them struggle to adapt to married life, Nina's whole world is thrown into question. And as certain truths threaten the marriage, her fragile new life in Canada begins to unravel. Poignant and intimate, The Immigrant is an honest exploration of a marriage, what it costs to start again - and what we can never leave behind.

“For so long you have worshipped me, sat in my temple, offered prayers, asked for answers to your questions. Yet I stand before you, and you do not recognise me? Look with your heart, Rajendra: I am Devi, whom you worship as Katyayani, as Parvati, and as Durga.” She held her arms open, smiling at Raj. “Now do you see?” Raj, a cloth merchant’s son from Delhi, lives a contemplative life in the old town of Sultanpur. He seeks meaning in his rapidly advancing nation but feels that India’s beauty is locked in the past and forgotten by the consistent desire to imitate the West. Guided by his wise grandfather, Raj sets out to explore the source of all things spiritual, cultural and poetic – and in a series of spellbinding visions from gods and goddesses, his destiny unfolds. As he learns to be the guardian of the millions of souls who take birth in this land, he must ensure they have a truly spiritual place to call home. And so he comes face to face with the last true evil that roams the earth, the enemy of the world, and the one who has brought emperors to their knees: Kali! Of Noble Blood is an enthralling medley of drama, fantasy and history, celebrating the possibilities of glorious, timeless India.
