The best news of the New Year

On Jan 1, the Indian Express carried a story on the revival of Bihar, highlighting agricultural growth, better investment opportunities and decentralization Bihar is seeing today. Long written off, this is a good beginning for Bihar on a tough road. This story makes for an optimistic start to the new year. 15 years of Laloo misrule is now being set right.

So, you can speculate who is really responsible for the Railway's turnaround, for which Laloo is earning all the plaudits. Come on, could a gigantic organization like the Railways be turned around in a year?
