Patna Women's College, BBB touched the chord !!







Screening of Bring Back Bihar at Patna Women's College was truly amazing. We can only say that "The message reached the audience".

Here are some snaps of the screening.

-------------------------------Review---------------------------------

PWC screening saw the maximum presence of desirable audience till date. It was very well organised screening and best so far. As I had told about the mindset of youth here in patna, PWC is no exception to that, but there are thinkers in it. I could not answer all of them. But I would want to go back to PWC and talk individually with all the girls. Most of the time you will have audience who have either no interest in subject or they are shy enough to question anything. But again I would say that leaders are not born everyday. PWC has a legacy of 50 years or more and the students are proud being this institution. Sister Dorris is not only a mother figure of this institution but a crusader of sort and institution in herself.


The kind of interaction I had with girls was really enlightening for me. I know that we come from various socio-economic class, and there are several constraints on all of us. Only thing which Bihar expects from its youth and especially the students is "a thought process", "a sense of responsibility for this land" and "a sense of ownership" for Bihar. Now the time has come when all our moves, be at professional, educational or personal growth, it needs to be in favour of upliftment and development of Bihar. One students asked me that you too went out to study and work, why didnt I kept myself in Bihar. I want to answer them. Yeah, it is true that I went out of Bihar in 1999, and I was not sensitive that time. how much awakening can we expect from a lad of age 17-18 in bihar and that too 10 years back from now. But now I am back in Bihar, working for it, finally I realised My responsibilities for Bihar and I am doing. There were a few students from communicative english department who raised a dispute that I should be showing this film to non-biharis outside. Now, this is something which really bothered me. I would rather say that anyone saying that is in deep slumber and complacent. I would want them to go around Indian, live outside and see what kind of treatment we biharis get. What do I need to do ? For how long can we bask in the glory of Buddhaa, Asoka, Mahaveer and Guru Gobind Singh. Has anyone of us have followed any of the teachings of Buddhaa or principles of Mahaveer. For how long are we going to boast for maximum no. of IAS/IPS etc. If we are so good, then what's the problem with us. I gave the example of hair gets grey due to abdominal problem. So whats the solution, should we keep coloring our hair or find a cure for abdominal problem. Thus, we need to change things here in Bihar. It starts with small thing like stop littering, spitting, and following traffic rules. So, PWC should be a prime crusader for any developmental change. Bihar needs sacrifice of many. By sacrifice I mean being self less. Lay off your desires to earn extra and move out to pune, bangalore, delhi, gurgaon, mumbai.. If you get a job in desired field in Bihar. Do it and try to bring about changes here. As, the youth of migration has gone beyond control, the damage to the social fabric of Bihar has gone beyond repair. But still we can come together and bring that much needed change. And when you want to change, BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE. We have to come above caste region and religion for one cause and that is BIHAR.
