The sad reality is that slowly, but predictably, the first generation of immigrants – those with strong connections to the Old Motherland – are leaving us after having left their mark by establishing their businesses, organizations, institutions and families, some inter-racial, with far-flung branches across the nation. For the next hour, we will explore what implicationsdo this have for the next generation – many in their 50s – to pass the torch on the third generation and beyond? And what kind of hybrid Desi will we see?To help carry this conversation forward, we asked four second-genners, chosen at random, to share their thoughts and visions. The only criteria was that they should havebeen born in the US or arrived at a very young age and have raised children of their own so that we can understand how the assimilation – indeed Americanization process – has colored their perspective, Joining us today in the studio are Anita Lal and Anupam Gupta and calling in from Seabrook is Ragini Miryala and from Birmingham, Michigan Cyrus Mistry.5:20 pm For a complete change of pace – and after a long hiatus due to the variety of guests we feature regularly everyweek, Jay, Pramod and Sanchali bring you a mix of Desi and Mainstream movie reviews, cricket, golf and other sports news and snippets of news that will help you navigate the rough waters of politics and the changing world around us.Also stay tuned in for news roundup, views, sports and movie reviews.TO BE FEATURED ON THE SHOW, OR TO ADVERTISE, PLEASE CONTACT US AT 713-789-NEWS or 6397 or at [email protected] pick up the print edition of Indo American News which is available all across town at grocery stores.

A few yearsago, it also became the first local Indian charity to raise over $1,000,000 in one gala. Since then it has made many more milestones, so we asked a Board member who was Co-President last year, Dr. Vikram Gopal, to explain to us how Pratham has achieved this distinction and about its upcoming gala on April 18.5:20 pm Founded in 1989, SEARCH has been providing hope, creating opportunity, and transforming lives for thousands of men, women, and children who are trying to break free fromthe cycle of poverty and homelessness.
