November is the family and friend’s month and packed with festivities. Diwali get together’s with Mithai and fireworks, Eid gatherings with Sheer Korma, and the upcoming Thanksgiving makes it a period of festivity. Even when the days gets shorter and the trees slowly lose their colorful leaves, there is no moment than now to partake in the various events and shows going on in and around Boston.

 On a more somber note, we talked to Shahid Ahmed Khan on the efforts made by the community for the Pakistani Earthquake. He told us a story on how 12 children were discovered under the debris because of hypothermia due to the winter chill. It is indeed a heartrending tale ! There are miracle stories of survival too but the magnitude of this problem requires patience, perseverance and generosity.

 A commendable and valuable addition to the community is the free health stop at Shrewsbury started by IMANE and ISW. Read all about what it offers in this issue. We feature the events at the Gurunanak Gurdwara, the scintillating concert review of T.N.Krishnan, Saheli, the women support group 5K walk, Diwali celebrations.

 Some exciting events in the next few weeks:. Vikram Seth, author of ‘A Suitable Boy” will be here at the Harvard store reading from his new book , ‘Two Lives’. The Peabody museum is having a fabulous India festival. TiE Boston and BU Present the 2nd Annual Outsourcing Workshop. The Marc Rossi Group present  jazz music and  Rohitha Easwer & Rashmi Srinivisan of Mysore present an evening of classical & creative Indian Dance. Check out all these and more in our ezine update and our local calendar .

 Enjoy this issue !
