KHAAS BAAT CELEBRATES ONE YEAR 
 
To borrow a clich�, how time flies! Indeed, it does. We at Khaas Baat 
(associate editor Shephali J. Rele and creative director Paul Wright) 
are overjoyed at the response our monthly publication has received. 
 
You may recall that we started with just 1,500 copies in our inaugural 
August issue last year, serving primarily the Tampa Bay area. This 
month, we printed 6,000 copies for circulation all over West Central 
Florida as well as such places as Daytona Beach, Jacksonville, 
Gainesville, Ocala, Port St. Lucie, etc.  
 
This month, we have an update on Parita Patel, the Indian visitor who 
was in a fight with the Florida Department of Children & Families (DCF) 
over her baby Krinna. It is a relief to note that DCF has not only 
handed the 2-month-old back to the mother but also dropped all charges. 
 
We continue with the questions and answers from Harikrishna Majmundar, 
an expert on welfare issues among elderly immigrants. 
 
And if you get the opportunity, do listen to Kronos Quartet�s CD 
�You�ve Stolen My Heart: songs from R.D. Burman�s Bollywood.� 
 
Once again, we want to thank all our readers, well-wishers and 
advertisers for their support. We look forward to another eventful and 
fun-filled year. 
 
Please continue to support our advertisers and send in any 
suggestions/comments to  [email protected]  And letters to the editor 
are more than welcome!
