Indeed! A Happy New Year to our readers! May 2013 bring happiness, peace and love to one and all.
There are two major events this month – India’s Republic Day celebrations and Makarsankrant (kite-flying festival). We have Republic Day coverage on page 1 and Sankrant activities on page 26. And if you have a budding artist in the family, please be sure to check out the new Creative Art column by Shyama Rangwala and have your children submit an entry (story, page 9).
Join us on Facebook or send us an e-mail. We welcome feedback on your favorite features or what you would like to see more of. Community organizers, please continue to inform us about future events in your town. Khaas Baat is proud to be the ONE AND ONLY Sunshine State publication to offer comprehensive coverage of happenings in your Florida Indian community.
