The first step..

Hello!
We are one of those very fortunate people who have a wonderful huge family with so many uncles,aunts,cousins and a set of loving grandparents. But with time, most of us are scattered in different parts of the world, so i thought it would be nice for us to have a common forum where we could all express our views on various things happening around us, exchange recipes,share funny anecdotes, etc.
Please reply back with more ideas on how to make this more interactive and fun for all!
Love,
Vidya
