Toronto, Canada -- Canada's leading virtual South Asian community, is busy preparing for its one-year anniversary bash. The celebration will take place on Thursday, February 22nd at Fez Batik in Toronto.

And they have a lot to celebrate. Explains Manisha, "MyBindi.com is the most popular source to South Asia arts, entertainment and culture. We are getting over 2 million hits per month from South Asians and non-South Asians alike, all over Canada and the world!" In addition to providing content and resources on South Asian culture, the organization is developing exciting new initiatives for its audience.

"We are not just a website -- we are a virtual community. We not only provide a South Asian forum, but we are developing much-needed products and services to enhance the lifestyle of our community. " This includes travel, food and dating services customized for the discriminating MyBindi.com user.

In honour of its one-year anniversary, the MyBindi Crew has invited local media, businesses and community members to join them for an evening of music, cocktails, and chitchat, hosted by local celeb Karen Johnson. The Bindi girls and guys will be sharing giveaways, party favours and delicious South Asian snacks.

Performing at Fez will be the talented Lal, whose music was featured at this year's Du Maurier Jazz Festival. DJ Felix of Milk and top South Asian DJ Jiten will pack the dance floor. Guests can kick back by the fireplace or in the Moroccan lounge, have their fortunes told, or surf at the internet cafe. Cover is $10 with part proceeds going to charity.
