| Hi Folks |
 |
As we cross the 70th issue mark, it is time to recall the premise on which we began the journey together 3 years back. Our 1st issue said – “Tamasoma Jyotirgamaya”, meaning “May the light of knowledge remove the darkness of ignorance”. We cannot claim to have removed ignorance but yes, we have sincerely attempted to show the light – hoping you will find the right way, whatever it is! |
| As we continue the journey it is heartening to note the positive and encouraging response being received from all of you from time to time as the Lexspeak Team puts together issue after issue each fortnight. As soon as we relax thinking one issue is done, we are confronted with what news for the next issue, what theme to be chosen, what images, what Thought for the day’, what compliance chart, what articles etc. etc. ? While there is no dearth of regulatory updates (thanks to the various regulators in India and the dynamic laws that we have), the challenge lies in identifying and including other useful and interesting information in a sustained manner, that will hold your attention in the onslaught of information inundation. Through the next issues, we will try to innovate and make Lexspeak more relevant to the readers. |
| Light is symbolic of knowledge, enlightenment, goodness, justice, equity, victory, success etc. Hope Deepavali, the festival of lights has ushered in all this and more! |
