The quarterly magazine, founded in 1995, was mailed free for 27 years to over 1800 homes of people tracing their heritage to the Indian subcontinent, living in the Greater Pittsburgh Metro Area.

Starting in October 2022, the magazine went digital, available in e-book form, and in a series of stand-alone stories on our website. The e-book gives you the magazine’s layout, its visual appeal, its contents and the businesses that advertised with us.

We started this nonsectarian, nondogmatic and irreverent magazine to i) provide a platform for people to express themselves, and ii) link businesses wanting to reach the Indian Diaspora with their goods/services.

Our writers freely comment on political, social, religious, economic, cultural, community, and spiritual topics that interest or provoke readers. We believe time and the collective wisdom of readers are the best judges of opinions.

We welcome your articles, recipes, humorous pieces, comments, accomplishments, photographs… We also welcome suggestions for stories.  For details, contact:
