Thank you to everyone for their feedback and comments on our inaugural August issue. We are overwhelmed by the encouragement we have received from the community.

Khaas Baat, a dream of ours for several years, wouldn�t have been possible without each and every one of our advertisers. This support from our advertisers enables us to devote more time and attention to various columns, articles and news of upcoming events.

With Raksha Bandhan behind us and Ganesh Chaturthi almost here, our Indian festival season is in full swing. We at Khaas Baat are excited to bring you information about these and many more upcoming cultural activities. We hope community leaders will update us on an ongoing basis so we can keep you informed of the latest events.

And now that school is underway, we look forward to receiving news of the numerous accomplishments of our Tampa Bay area youth.

We hope Khaas Baat can be a positive platform for readers to voice their opinions on topics related to our community. To that end, we would like to invite letters to the editor.

We are eager for your suggestions and feedback.
