Letter from the Editor

Dear ABCDlady Readers,

It seems like our society is all about getting ahead. We rush around from one occasion to the next to accomplish as much as possible in a single day. This month we highlight someone who has run around a lot in his 33 years. Meet Aneesh Chopra, governor-appointed Secretary of Technology in the cabinet of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Chopra reveals the secrets to his success and discusses what he faces in his prestigious position.

In addition to Mr. Chopra’s advice on getting ahead, we provide ten tips for time management. Try these tips and you’ll be amazed at how much you can get done in a day. And remember those little old New Year’s resolutions you made at the start of 2006? If you’ve started to let those slide, this article will help you get back in gear.

For the rushed parents who go through chaotic mornings getting their children up and ready because they slept in, we tackle the problem of young children’s inability to sleep.

We then take you to South India, with some fast and delicious recipes for Coconut Chicken Curry and Vegetable Upma, traditional dishes from that region.

With the warmer weather arriving, we know people will be going out more, so we bring three articles with that in mind. First, our Desi Diva visits perfume choices and helps you find the right scent for your style.

Getting pick-up lines that are so dreadful, you wish you could erase them from your mind? Apparently many of us do, so we have started a “what not to say to Desi women” dictionary. We take you to the bar scene with a piece on what not to say to a South Asian woman.

And for those who are getting into new relationships, our Love and Sex expert meets a Gujarati girl worrying about introducing her Punjabi boyfriend to her family. Our expert also untangles difficult family relationships, including one you might never expect!

Enjoy!

Sincerely,

Navdeep Kathuria
Editor-in-Chief, ABCDlady
