May 2009

Dear Readers,

Once again, we are very pleased to bring you a special edition of Desh-Videsh – this month we focus on Education, a very important issue for all South Asians living in this country. As South Asians, we have made name for ourselves in this country as well as in other western countries, when it comes to education,
mathematics, and technical fields. This leadership shows as evidenced by recent appointments by President Obama of Vivek Kundra as Chief Information Officer and Aneesh Chopra as Chief Technology Officer.

We are also bringing you a timely and important article “Financing Global Crisis.” This article aims to ease stress and tension, something we all are feeling during this time of economic downturn.

We also want to remind readers about the first ever My Shadi Bridal Expo, sponsored by Desh-Videsh. We have received such a tremendous response not only from vendors, but also from brides, grooms and their family members. Brides and grooms are really taking advantage of the chance to win a free honeymoon trip. Good luck to all of you have already registered. If you or one of your family members is getting married, do not miss this incredible opportunity! To register and for more information, visit www.myshadibridalexpo.com.

Last but not least, Mother’s Day is around the corner! Everyone here at Desh-Videsh would like to take this opportunity to wish all mothers out there a very happy Mother’s Day. We have a new mother in our family, and I like to wish her “Happy Mother’s Day.”

Happy Reading!
