Bihar isn’t just a stop on the map anymore; it’s beginning to feel like a second home. I sat face to face with Tejashwi Yadav, the RJD’s young face, to talk about the issues that weigh heavily here: corruption, migration, politics, and the scars and triumphs that come with them. Our conversation drifted to Bihar’s larger political mood, the frustrations and the glimpses of hope. And somewhere between the gravity of it all, we found space to laugh, tossing a few jokes back and forth like Sachin Tendulkar squaring off against Glenn McGrath.
