August 2004 issue of Khaasbaat

Diehard Khaas Baat readers will remember the cover of the first issue of this newspaper we started in August 2004 originally for the Indian American community in Tampa Bay. On the eve of our two-year anniversary, we are excited to bring you a publication that has continued to grow to include the entire state.

This month, we have added four more pages packed with news about the Indian American community in the Sunshine State.

On this anniversary, we want to thank our columnists. We are fortunate to have the contributions of talented writers � primarily from our local community who are all highly qualified in their respective fields. Thank you to our regular contributors from Orlando and Jacksonville for keeping us apprised of their local events. We welcome more such efforts from every major Florida city.

We are proud that Khaas Baat has become a trusted source for comprehensive coverage of news and events involving the Indian American community.

Khaas Baat can be found at your local South Asian grocery store and also is mailed free to the homes and offices of thousands of subscribers across the state. And last but not the least, a big thanks to our many advertisers without whom we would not be able to fund the operations of this publication.
