Indian community’s ‘Acres of Diamonds’
Dear Readers,
This edition is a very special one. Exactly one year ago we started with the first edition of Pravasi Herald. It has been an amazing journey. Each month as more of you joined Pravasi family, more alive it came. Your active involvement breathes life into Pravasi.
We started out with the conviction that Alabama’s Indian community has its own ‘Acres of diamonds’ when it comes to content for Pravasi. How that conviction has met the test of time! We have just turned the first page. We will continue with our community focus.
Pravasi has been the vehicle that has connected communities across Alabama within one short year. We will continue to work towards building a connected and informed community with your participation.
Pravasi has come a long way and has a long way to go. You are going to be the key part of Pravasi’s future. To start with we request you to update your email profile if you are on our mailing list so we can deliver your city specific information to you. If you are not on the mailing list, we request you to be part of it by clicking here.
Also, please spread the word about Pravasi to as many friends as you can. Lastly, we need your feedback.
Kusum Singh

Dear Readers,
For Pravasi to be a reflection of happenings in all our communities and to get active participation from all the community members, Pravasi needs “Ambassadors” in as many communities as possible. If you would like to make a difference in your group or community by sharing its progress and giving it more visibility, we would love to have you as a “Pravasi Ambassador”. You can be the conduit of information to and from Pravasi. Please call me to discuss your interest and questions - 205-516-2797.

Editorial November 2009
In November we celebrate Nehru Ji’s Birthday who was India’s first Prime Minister for seventeen years.
Five decades ago, Nehru cautioned Members of Parliament discussing linguistic reorganization of states that an obsession with language would harm migrants. The reorganization of states on linguistic basis did happen in 1956 despite Nehru’s objections and reservations. Here is an excerpt from his speeches:

Whats your gal’s…Rashee?

Aquarius Woman(21st January to 19th February)

Inconsistency and confusion describe the characteristics profile of an Aquarius female. The same goes for her love life too. She is very loyal, but at the same time, she is also a little detached and not extremely emotional. She will be committed and remain faithful too, but do not try to bind her. Let her enjoy her freedom and in return, she will come back to you when she gets tired of her expeditions. Her dreams are very different from that of a normal female and she hums a different tune, which most of us have not even heard of.

The drought in India is causing havoc. The water level is dropping to alarming levels. The big players in Agriculture arena such National Agro Foundation will play a big role in coming months and years.
