e’ve been doing some spring cleaning–or rather, rearranging–at Nirali. The result? [1] The Daily, Nirali’s newly-revamped weblog. In addition to the news roundups you’re used to seeing on the blog, we’ll also bring you more reported pieces and shorter original stories important to the South Asian community. And now you don’t have to skip to a second web site to see what’s going on at the weblog, either–The Daily is fully integrated into Nirali’s main site, and you will always see the [2] three most recent Daily entries on our main page.

But don’t get lost in The Daily! Be sure to check out the rest of the stories in our March issue. Read [3] 21 Things You Didn’t Know About The Namesake to get the dish on this desi blockbuster starring Kal Penn. Peek [4] Behind the Seams to get a look at the haute handbag empire of Malini Murjani (you won’t be able to resist her stuff). And lighten up your spring food fare with a visit to [5] Tahia’s Vegetarian Kitchen.

And don’t forget to let us know what you think—leave a comment or send us an email with your thoughts on what you liked or didn’t like in this issue (or any other).

Happy spring!
