Khaas Baat : A Publication for Indian Americans in Florida

Editor's Note

By NITISH S. RELE and SHEPHALI J. RELE – editor@khaasbaat.com

These are surreal and unprecedented times we are all going through. Cultural events and programs are postponed while we practice social distancing, stay home and try to slow the spread of this pandemic. Hopefully, we can find innovative ways to keep our social and cultural connections because we need one another for support while we maintain physical distance. As publishers, these are trying times for us. We will strive to be a resource for you and hope for continued advertisers’ support. If we all follow the necessary guidelines, we can keep our loved ones healthy and overcome this crisis together.

Though there are no events to list, we do have some relevant COVID-19-related articles to share. In her nutrition column, Bhavi Nirav recommends foods to boost the immune system. Seasoned CPA Sanjay Gupta breaks down the recent federal tax legislation enacted by Congress in light of the outbreak. We are also publishing a letter to the editor written by a concerned physician’s wife in Tampa. In a guest column, reprinted with permission from Hindu American Foundation, Doctor of Psychology Kavita Pallod Sekhsaria suggests Hindu spiritual practices to help manage COVID-19 angst.

A collective thank-you to all the physicians, nurses and healthcare professionals in our community who are selflessly fighting this epidemic. Have a topic you feel strongly about? Send us a letter to the editor. We also welcome your story ideas and suggestions as we pass through these challenging times together. Khaas Baat is proud to be the ONE AND ONLY Sunshine State publication to offer comprehensive coverage in your Florida Indian community.

Do follow us on twitter @khaasbaat and join us on Facebook for details about late-breaking events.
