 Navigating the Political Landscape: My Journey Through Bihar and Beyond



As a political consultant, the ground is where the real work happens. No matter the circumstances, staying immersed in the field is a necessity, not just a professional obligation but a deep-seated passion. The constant exposure to different states, varying dynamics, and the intricate parameters that shape election campaigns keeps me engaged, challenged, and, most importantly, inspired.

Over the years, I have traveled across multiple states, witnessing firsthand the distinct urban, suburban, and rural assemblies that define India's democratic framework. Every constituency tells a unique story, reflecting the aspirations, struggles, and transformation of its people. However, Bihar holds a special place in my heart. It is my home state, and the emotional connection runs deep. My father, born and raised in Bihar, always longed to return. His perspective shaped my understanding of the region, but my campaign journey has allowed me to see it through my own eyes.

Currently, my work has brought me to Mithilanchal—a land of breathtaking greenery, thriving agriculture, pristine waters, and unwavering simplicity. Beyond its natural beauty, Mithilanchal is deeply intertwined with Bihar’s legacy as the first state to implement caste reservation and conduct a caste census. These historical milestones remain integral to the socio-political fabric of the region. Yet, amid these long-standing structures, I have observed remarkable evolution,
especially in educational infrastructure. The Government of Bihar has made commendable strides in ensuring that education is accessible to all, regardless of societal divisions. The state's commitment to empowering its people through education is evident in the numerous opportunities available to students, breaking barriers and fostering inclusivity.

As I delve deeper into the campaign, challenges will inevitably arise, and critical evaluations will be necessary. However, for now, I am embracing the experience, cherishing the warmth of Mithilanchal, and immersing myself in its vibrant essence. Perhaps being in Mithila—the land of rich history and heritage—will provide me with a profound sense of happiness, pride, and peace.

This journey continues to reinforce my belief in the transformative power of politics, the significance of grassroots engagement, and the ever-evolving narrative of India's democracy. I look forward to uncovering more insights, forging deeper connections, and contributing to the shaping of meaningful campaigns that resonate with the people.

The Quest for Bliss

What is happiness? I ask myself time and again, Yet, no answer brings satisfaction, no solace eases the strain. Am I even happy? I cannot truly say, Restlessness stirs within me, in a mind gone astray. Memories linger, refusing to fade, Body and soul, in turmoil, an endless charade. In moments alone, I ponder and muse, Is it possible to live with myself, to never again lose? Some days, survival is all I can achieve, Happiness feels distant, hard to perceive. My work is my anchor, my duality's art, In the love for my job, I forget my heart. No tears left to shed, only pain remains, August, a month of grief, endless chains. I’ve lost those I cherished, dear souls now gone, In their absence, I carry on, forlorn. Cry, they tell me, but tears do not fall, A dry well of sorrow, a silent call. Will letting go bring peace, will memories be erased? In this storm of panic, I yearn for a safe place. Who will end this pain, teach me to sail, To navigate life’s tempest, to no longer wail? Happi...

Over the past 15 years, the field of political consulting has experienced a profound transformation, marked by the increasing presence and influence of women. Traditionally dominated by men, political consulting posed significant barriers to entry for women, who often struggled against entrenched stereotypes and limited opportunities for advancement.

Women have proven adept at strategic thinking, communication, and relationship-building—skills that are essential for the success of modern political campaigns.  According to scholar Christina Wolbrecht , ''women’s ability to create inclusive messaging and foster grassroots engagement has enriched campaign str...

Mother's Day special

  Since Mother's Day is around the corner and everyone is sharing their stories, it reminds me to articulate mine, which is indeed surreal, purest, and  ecstatic. Not technically a mommy but Masi, as Didi says ''Mons you are MAA- si .'' No matter how hard I try, I will never be able to compete with her when it comes to emotional captions because She is just best at it.    Our first beach trip together Last year, on May 1, my sister gave born to this miraculous boy, who had just changed everything around and they named him, "Advik". I clearly remember, my mom called me in the evening, saying, Mons congrats you became Masi and instantly I started crying. Why? I do not know...may be out of love, or maybe because I was emotionally overwhelmed. But I must admit that I missed being there...I was not there with my Didi but I knew she mi...
