Dear Reader,

Why it's time to rethink everything you know about Bihar? And why should you read this piece by Abhishek on Bihar Museum?

- Because it is the kind of project that isn’t supposed to happen in a state everyone loves to mock.

- Because it quietly rewrites the narrative—on architecture, on governance, on culture.

- Because it proves that when intent meets execution, even India’s most stereotyped BIMARU state can set a national benchmark.

From Ashoka’s edicts to Subodh Gupta’s installations, this isn’t just a museum—it’s Bihar telling its story on its own terms.

The only question is: why did we ever doubt it could? The story of Bihar deserves your attention, not your pity.

Tiny Classrooms, Big Questions: Are Microschools the Future?

Onto the next revolution.

What if the future of Indian education wasn’t bigger boards, taller buildings, or longer fees receipts—but smaller schools?

Microschools are quietly redefining how kids learn, play, and grow—in sunlit rooms without uniforms or rigid timetables.

From Bengaluru to Goa, meet the founders turning this idea into reality.

Is this just a lifestyle trend for the privileged—or the start of a broader rethink? Can tiny schools really prepare kids for the big world?

This piece by Adithi explores the promise, the pitfalls, and the very real provocations of India’s growing microschool movement.

Until next time,

Kupwara Codes: The Gorkha Garrison Series

An ISI-backed terror plot is set to explode in Kashmir—and only two Gorkha officers can stop it.

As coded messages from a faceless enemy emerge, Lt Deepak Lathwal and Maj Danny Deka lead their khukri-wielding battalion into a dangerous mission across borders and betrayals.

Facing a radical femme fatale, sleeper cells, and a ticking clock, the question isn’t just if they’ll survive—but whether India will.

Fast-paced, gripping, and grounded in real-life courage—this military thriller keeps you turning pages till the very last shot.
