Some days ago, on this blog, I stated my reasons for opting out of the Bihar Days editorial position. That was entirely MY SIDE of the story. After all, it's my blog, right? Life moves on, events unfold, and eventually understanding dawns.
Let me state one thing clearly once and for all: I will always support the friends that have put a lot of hard work into the site. My only 'panga' with the site was ideological, and there's nothing more infuriating for an Agnostic (me) to be called pro-Religion (of any kind).
One editor moves out, another one moves in. Life goes on.
For the record, with the kind of creativity and support Bihardays has, it can only become BETTER. It has the most innovative features... which other site has 'Success Stories' through exciting videos?
The site has a new editor, and someone who deserves due respect. Ratnakar Tripathy, the new honorary editor is an erudite, well read, scholar whose new column on Bihardays is worth reading, not once but several times, raising well considered issues. Anybody NOT visiting BiharDays would not be enriched.
Prashnat has put in a tremendous effort, [and a lot offunds] into the site. This has been done not for selfish reasons, but to bring out a site that Bihar truly deserves, and he's done a bloody good job, under the circumstances.
I have visited and continue to visit BiharDays, and I am happy to see it grow... We all have professional differences, but personal friendships and mutual respect remain.
I would say that Bihardays has now got a better Editor, well suited to take it forward, because Ratnakar Tripathy has a deep knowledge of Bihar, and in that sense he is far better equipped to contribute to the growth of the site. He is fluent in English, Hindi and regional languages and has a fantastic understanding of culture and current issues.
MAY BIHARDAYS CONTINUE ITS GOOD WORK..

Frank.. u amaze me man..you rock !
I just hope that ppl are more sensitive,take care about checking the facts using thr own intelligence & sense of fairness than being influenced by hearsay & then make conscious responsible decisions before hauling someone on the altar.
The reputation of a person is not "copy & paste", its not made in a day. It takes years of toil to get there..and it cant be taken away by pressing the (DELETE) button.
At least Francisco is not like Yeddappa who has refused to resign in Karnataka.
Atta Boy Franky !
As ever, I would agree with Chandan. Frank is the true gentleman, with a sense of fairness. He is held in high esteem by all whose lives he touches.
Looking forward to your new venture Newsnet East, soon
HEY, Ratnakar Tripathy isn't Honorary editor, he demanded [and received] a salary from Prashant, so actually Saint Frank was being taken for a nice ride by the 'CEO' of Bhardays. BTW, the site sucks .. only caste and politics and ass-licking Nitish Kumar
all the best, Missionary Frank ji ..u have yet to undestand TRUE Bihari Buddhi
