Hey, this is Kynstra.
This is a simple book I wrote around 6–8 months ago. It's nothing too fancy—just something I had fun putting together back then.
Feel free to give it a read and let me know what you think! I know I haven't been very active lately, and honestly, that's probably going to be the case until my placements are done. Thanks for sticking around!

The sun rose over Samastipur, a quiet village in Bihar, painting the mud-brick homes in hues of gold. It was 1990, and five-year-old Aarav Pathak sat cross-legged on a straw mat, his small hands clutching a tattered arithmetic book. Orphaned after a fever claimed his parents, Aarav lived with his grandmother, Kamla, in a one-room home with a leaking roof. Samastipur was a place of hard soil and harder lives—electricity flickered, roads crumbled, and dreams often withered under the weight of poverty. Yet, Aarav's eyes, bright and unyielding, held a spark that refused to dim.
Kamla, frail but fierce, saw his potential early. "You're meant for more, beta," she'd say, her voice cracking as she boiled rice over a clay stove. Aarav absorbed her words, finding solace in learning. By 10, he was devouring every book he could find—old newspapers, dog-eared novels, even a discarded physics primer. The village school, with its peeling walls and overworked teacher, could barely keep up. Aarav's questions—Why does the river flood? How do trains work?—outstripped the syllabus. At 15, he topped his district exams, earning a scholarship to a government school in Patna. As he boarded a rickety bus in 2005, Kamla pressed a small brass locket into his hand. "Change our fate," she whispered. Aarav nodded, his heart heavy but resolute.
Patna was a shock—bustling, chaotic, and unforgiving. Aarav lived in a hostel with flickering lights and shared textbooks. But his hunger for knowledge was insatiable. He studied late into the night, mastering calculus and physics while his peers slept. In 2008, he cracked the IIT entrance exam, securing a spot at IIT Patna to study electrical engineering. There, among the best minds, Aarav thrived, graduating with honors in 2012. His professors called him "Bihar's star," but Aarav's gaze was already on a bigger stage. He enrolled at IIM Ahmedabad, earning a Masters in Management by 2014. The corporate world beckoned, but Aarav's heart pulled him back to Bihar. He wanted to serve.
The UPSC exams were his next conquest. In 2016, at 26, Aarav joined the Indian Police Service (IPS), posted to Bihar's crime-ridden districts. He dreamed of justice, of protecting the vulnerable like his younger self. But the system was a quagmire. Corruption stained every level—officers took bribes, politicians shielded criminals, and case files gathered dust. In 2020, Aarav witnessed a powerful MLA bury a murder case for a hefty sum. Disgusted, he resigned, his resignation letter a quiet indictment: "I cannot serve a system that betrays its people." Samastipur's son returned home, no longer a policeman, but a man with a new mission: to rebuild Bihar from the ground up.
Back in Samastipur in 2020, Aarav Pathak traded his IPS khaki for a simple white kurta, his polished boots for worn chappals. The village hadn't changed much—same rutted roads, same weary faces. But Aarav had. At 30, he carried the weight of his experiences: the rigor of IIT, the polish of IIM, and the bitter lessons of a corrupt system. His grandmother Kamla, now bedridden, watched him with pride and worry. "You've left a big job, beta," she said one evening, her voice faint. "What now?" Aarav knelt by her side, his resolve firm. "I'll build a Bihar where no one feels trapped, Dadi."
He began at the grassroots, walking Samastipur's lanes, sitting with farmers, shopkeepers, and youth. Their stories echoed his own—dreams stifled by poverty, corruption, and neglect. Bihar's politics, dominated by two dynastic parties, had failed them for decades. Leaders grew rich while the state remained India's poorest, with over a third of its people below the poverty line and millions migrating for work. Aarav listened, his notebook filling with ideas. He saw a pattern: the youth, especially, craved change. They were educated, connected by smartphones, and tired of being dismissed.
In 2021, Aarav took a leap. He founded the Samarth Bharat Party (Empowered India Party), a political party rooted in transparency and youth empowerment. Its slogan, "Bihar Badlega, Yuva Banayega" (Bihar will change, the youth will build), struck a chord. Aarav's vision was bold: a state where education, not caste, defined opportunity; where jobs kept families home; where governance served people, not politicians. He recruited unlikely candidates—teachers, engineers, social workers—none tied to the old political machine. "We don't need more netas," he told a crowd in Muzaffarpur. "We need builders."
The establishment mocked him. "An IIT-wala playing politician?" scoffed a veteran MLA. But Aarav's sincerity disarmed skeptics. He crisscrossed Bihar on a motorcycle, speaking at dusty chowks and packed college auditoriums. His speeches were less rhetoric, more blueprint: free schools, modern hospitals, tech hubs, manufacturing and farmer cooperatives. Social media amplified his voice. Students launched #AaravForBihar, and volunteers—many first-time voters—painted village walls with SBP's rising sun symbol. By 2023, the party had chapters in every district, fueled by small donations and big dreams.
The old parties grew nervous. They smeared Aarav as an elitist, out of touch with Bihar's "real" issues. But the youth saw him differently—a man who'd risen from their soil, who spoke their language of aspiration. In Patna's cafes and Gaya's fields, his name became a whisper of hope. By 2025, as elections loomed, Aarav's SBP wasn't just a party; it was a movement. Kamla, too weak to leave her cot, smiled when he told her. "You're keeping your promise," she said. Aarav touched her feet, knowing the real fight was just beginning.
The Bihar Assembly elections of February 2025 were a crucible, forging a new path for a state long mired in stagnation. Aarav Pathak, now 35, stood at the helm of the Samarth Bharat Party , a party barely four years old but pulsing with the energy of Bihar's youth. The old guard—two entrenched parties bloated with dynastic leaders—branded Aarav an upstart, a "bookish dreamer" unfit for Bihar's rough-and-tumble politics. They plastered Patna with posters of their aging netas, promising the same tired schemes. Aarav countered with a different weapon: truth. "Bihar has been looted by those who call themselves its saviors," he said at a rally in Darbhanga, his voice cutting through the humid air. "It's time for us to build, not beg."
His campaign was relentless. From January to February 2025, Aarav held 300 rallies across Bihar's 243 constituencies, sleeping in village homes and eating at roadside dhabas. His message was a clarion call: education for every child, jobs to end migration, and governance free of corruption. The Samarth Bharat Party 's candidates—teachers, scientists, young entrepreneurs—mirrored his ethos. They didn't promise miracles; they promised work. Aarav's own story, from Samastipur's mud lanes to IIT and IIM, resonated deeply. "He's one of us," a student in Gaya told a local reporter, "but he's seen the world."
The youth were Aarav's vanguard. Bihar's 18-25-year-olds, over 20 million strong, turned #AaravForBihar into a digital wildfire. College students organized voter drives; migrant workers, back from Delhi and Mumbai, spread his message in villages. The Samarth Bharat Party (SBP)'s rising sun symbol adorned walls, bicycles, and WhatsApp statuses. The opposition fought back, accusing Aarav of being a "Delhi elite" funded by foreign NGOs. He laughed off the claims in a viral video, standing in Samastipur's market, holding his grandmother's old locket. "My only funding is your trust," he said.
Election day, August 25, 2025, saw a record 68% turnout. Villages lined up at dawn; urban youth snapped selfies with inked fingers. When results rolled in on September 1, the state held its breath. The SBP swept 152 seats, crushing the old parties' strongholds. Aarav's own constituency, Samastipur, gave him a margin of 70,000 votes. On September 10, in Patna's Gandhi Maidan, Aarav was sworn in as Chief Minister before a sea of supporters. His grandmother Kamla, frail but beaming, watched from a wheelchair. "This isn't my victory," Aarav said, gripping the podium. "This is Bihar's chance to rise." The crowd roared, but Aarav knew the real battle—governing a broken state—lay ahead.
