Letter from the Editor

Dear ABCDlady Readers:

This month we discuss many pertinent issues to South Asians:

- We walk in the shoes of a South Asian doctor who describes her ordeals in the first medical aid team to arrive in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina hit.

- We meet lovely and talented Mohini Bhardwaj, Silver Medalist in the Athens 2004 Olympics, and a role model for all aspiring South Asians that want to pursue a career in sports.

- Our parenting expert this month talks about why you need to say “no” to your child, and discusses what to do if you’ve already got an ill-mannered child on your hands.

- We discuss the FOB and ABCD experience, as well as the perceived division between the two groups.

- Ramadan, Karva Chauth and Diwali are approaching. In accordance to tradition, we celebrate with sweets! This month we provide a recipe for pinnies.

- Our Desi Diva provides new ways to wear the classic sweater, in time for this fall.

- Our Love and Sex Expert answers questions on safe topics to discuss on a first arranged date, and waiting for men to come around.

- We provide tips on adapting a plan to adhere to a budget and save for the future.

- And finally, we discuss why people stay in relationships past the expiration date, and what to do when you determine it’s time to move on.

Enjoy!

Sincerely,

Navdeep Kathuria
Editor-in-Chief, ABCDlady
