Editor's Note
The festival of colors is here and we want to wish everyone a Happy Holi as numerous Florida communities prepare for the celebrations. Also, as you can see from our page 1 coverage, India Festivals are set in Melbourne, Gainesville and Orlando in March. Vendor booths will be offering Indian clothing, jewelry, film DVDs and CDs, arts and crafts. And, of course, there will be a variety of catered cuisine to please any palate.
We are introducing a new column this month, on Childhood Education by Kimberly Wilson, Director of Innovation at Lutz Learning Center in Lutz. She writes on “Identifying the Genius in your Child.” Also our Under the Cover column is back with book reviews of “No Country” by Kalyan Ray, “Family Life” by Akhil Sharma, “Love in a time of Technology” poems by Sasenarine Persaud, and “Rani Celebrates Holi” by Anita Badhwar
