Bhojpuri Globe Viewed since: May 25, 1998. Last revision: Jul 05, 2009.

I am glad to invite you (a visitor from ) surfing this website, the Bhojpuri KnowledgeCulture, where you will find many interesting links in the field of Information Technology, Arts, Crafts, Culture, Hobbies, Bhojpuri, Bihar, India, and so on. I dedicate it proudly to my motherland, the Bihar, which is a territory in the bounteous Gangetic plains of north India. The Bihar is popular as a cradle of religions (e.g. Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism), for world renowned universities (e.g. Nalanda, Vikramshila), great personalities (e.g. Aryabhat, Ashoka, Chanakya, Amrapali, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Kunwar Singh, Bhikari Thakur, Kamta Prasad), kingdoms (e.g. Ashoka (273-232 B.C.), Chandragupta Maurya (322-298 B.C.), Sher Shah Suri, Ajatshatru, Bimbisara), legendary battles (e.g. Buxar), economic & political civilizations, beautiful places (e.g. Rajgir, Vaishali, Pawapuri), temples (e.g. Garhwa, Parasnath), hot springs, wild-life, agricultural products, rich mineral reserves, heavy industries, paintings, arts and culture. I started this project recently. In my opinion, it qualifies to hold the banner: Under Construction. It is being updated regularly with more useful links, so please find some time to visit again in future. Some of these easy access links have proved its worthiness to me. For example: search engines, freemails (Mailjol, meraPatna, e-Patra, Hotmail), find net friends, excuses; send kiss, greeting cards; refer encyclopedia, horoscope, ideas, human records, language, dictionaries, grammer, maps (railroads, subways), world time, weather, mysteries, embassies, intelligence, satellites, telephones, buildings, banks, cities, universities, countries, governments, medals, hotels, seeds & weeds; learn about birds, rulers, thinkers, philosophies, history, engineering, finance, investment, exchanges, photography, human brain, ISO standards; get doctor's advice; review FAQs on any topic; creating your own Home Page; read news headlines from EarthTimes; check flight, currency rates, STD codes.

About me:

I, Shashi Bhushan Rai, was born in a Bhumihar (Hindu Brahmin, gotra: Sandilya) family on August 25, 1973 in a small village called Nirbhaya Dihra (near Basauri, Piro) in Bhojpur (Lat: 25.5666667, Long: 84.6666667) district of Bihar, India. On 10 Jun 2003, I married Bimla Pandey from Gorpa, Bhojpur-Ara. We have a daughter Divya Rai (a.k.a. Sonali born on 09 Jun 2005). We have strict vegetarian dietary habits. I have lived in several cities of India (viz. Agra, Allahabad, Bangalore, Bhatinda, Bhojpur-Ara, Chennai, Ghaziabad, New Delhi, Pune, Tezpur, etc); and, visited Calcutta, Goa, Lonavala, Kanyakumari, Madurai, Mathura, Mumbai, Patna, Rameshwaram, Vindhyachal. I worked in Japan, Singapore; also, travelled to Japan (Tokyo, Asakusa, Hakone, Ichikawa, Ikebukuro, Tokorozawa, Yokohama Sea Paradise), Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Langkawi, Kedah, Genting Highlands, Johor Bahru), Thailand (Bangkok, Phuket), Switzerland (Zurich, Berne, Interlaken, Lausanne, Gruyere, Montreux, Geneva, Zermatt, Schaffhausen, Rhein Fall, Luzern), Germany (Schwarzwald), France, Qatar (Doha), South Korea (Seoul), Canada (Gatineau, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver), Hong Kong, England (London). My mother tongue is Bhojpuri (standardized language code USMARC, IETF 1766, ISO 639-2: BHO), which resembles Hindi (the national language of India). Out of 180 million Bhojpuri speakers world-wide, 69% of them live in Bihar (Bhojpur, Buxar, Rohtas, Kaimur, Saran, Siwan, Gopalganj, Champaran, Betiah, Motihari, Garhwa) and Uttar Pradesh (Ballia, Ghazipur, Azamgarh, Mau, Deoria, Kushinagar, Varanasi, Sonbhadra, Sant Kabir Das Nagar, Maharajganj, Gorakhpur, Chandauli, Mirzapur, Jaunpur), and other states of India. The Bhojpuri language is spoken widely by migrants of Indian origin in other places (e.g. Mauritius, Fiji, Nepal, Bangladesh, Singapore, Guyana, Surinam, Trinidad & Tobago, New Zealand, Kenya, Uganda, Yemen, South Africa; and, Caribbean, Indo-Iranian, Indo-Aryan, Indo-European zones). I can understand many Indian dialects/languages (viz. Sanskrit, Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali, Oriya, Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil), Japanese (Hiragana, Katakana, Kanji), Mandarin, Francais, Deutsch and hope to learn more...

As Managing Director of Brahmrishi Technologies (a Singapore based IT Consulting Services firm founded by me), I am always looking for talented people, partners, prospects, products, projects (e.g. Prototype / Product Development, Solutions Design, Performance Engineering, and other Professional Services).

I am very choosy in every aspect of life, yet adaptable to different situations. I believe in a goal driven life.

What do I like about Bihar? It's versatility, richness, vastness, vegetarian food (Litti, Sattu, Makuni-Paratha, Chura-Dahi, Roti/Chapatti, Dal-Bhaat-Tarkari), sweets (Tilkut, Khajha, Motichoor, Rasbuniya), clothing (men: Pagri-Dhoti-Kurta, Kurta-Paayjama. women: Saree, Salwar-Kurta), festivals (Chhat, Jeutia, Teej, Godhan, Buddha Purnima, Sawan Kanwar, Makar Sakranti, Rakshabandhan), languages (Bhojpuri, Magahi, Maithili, Vajjika, Angika, Mundari, Kurukh, Hindi, Urdu), songs (1) and people (of course !!!).
