Things are heating up at Khaas Baat, just in time for summer. This month, we have increased our monthly printed circulation and can proudly claim to now have a readership of 20,000 in the entire state of Florida.

As always, we have a plate full here for our readers. First, our congratulations go to Ravi Sankar of the Central Florida area (Oviedo) for being one of five individuals chosen to receive President Bush�s Volunteer Service Award (story, page 3). Also, our Bollywood columnist Jyothi Venkatesh chats with every girl�s heartthrob, Hrithik Roshan, on the eve of the release of his 12th film �Krrish� (story, page 18). And thank you Dr. Ram Ramcharran for his contribution on Special Needs Trusts (story, page 10). The young ones will like the new Kid�s Corner (page 6) by Krish Seetharaman, a new monthly column. Do send us your feedback on this monthly column.

We received a good response to our plans to recognize accomplishments of our graduates with a high school senior roundup in the next issue. To include your graduate, please e-mail us at [email protected] the high school senior�s name, school name, some achievements/awards, and future plans, including college name and intended course of study.

We would like to once again extend our sincere gratitude to all advertisers and well-wishers. Do e-mail us at [email protected] with any ideas and suggestions or send in a letter to the editor.
