Dear Readers,
Bahaar, Basant, Vasant, Spring. The loveliest of all seasons is here. One of the greatest poets in classical Sanskrit literature Kalidasa calls it the king of seasons. I am not sure about you, but every spring brings me feelings of freshness. There is something about the spring that makes the world feel like it’s starting anew, there is a sense of excitement in the air, the romance, the cheerfulness, nature’s finest manifestation in all her beauty. It reminds us that cold and gloomy days of winter do not last forever, both literally and mentally. Instead, the first day of spring represents a time of rejuvenation. It’s a season that allows nature Another reason I’m excited this time of year is because I get the chance to chat with newlyweds for the Desh-Videsh spring wedding issue. They all are excited to start their new journey together, and I can feel the excitement in their voice and in their writing. It is our pleasure once again to present recent weddings of Florida and Georgia. In this issue, we feature Anand and Richa’s wedding, a wedding we had the pleasure to attend. We have watched Anand grow up over the last 25 years. Congratulations Anand and Richa and all other newlyweds in this issue! I would also like to welcome writer Satya Patel to the Desh-Videsh team. Satya is a marketing expert, but after planning her own wedding in 2014, she became a wedding planning expert and started a blog and website. Check out her web site www.indianweddingtoolkit.com.
