Highlights of Readers Digest India magazine, April 2014 Do you think losing weight is all about diet and exercise? Our April cover story “Little-Known Secrets of Staying Slim” goes beyond these basics, and highlights surprising findings you can use to shed kilos. World War II never ceases to fascinate, and there’s always another story of valour or kindness. Our “Bonus Read” this month is one such story, where five escaped Indian prisoners of war were sheltered by “enemy” Italian villagers. And this selfless gesture was just the beginning of a warm association that continues to date. Get smart with your personal finance with “How to Win at the Stock Market,” the personal story of one investor and what he’s learnt during his long years of investing. A companion piece is about how paying taxes and filing a return can be very good for you. Other highlights of the April issue include “Calling on Youth,” an RD Classic on Alexander Graham Bell's recipe for self-education, and “Jokes that Harm, Jokes that Heal,” our extra dose of laughter for you along with the regular humour sections. Also, read heartwarming stories in “Kindness of Strangers,” and test your vocabulary with “Word Power.”
Highlights of Reader’s Digest February 2016, issue: Happiness Begins with Humour Of Love and Money It’s February and while the world celebrates love (we do too), we also know it’s still the beginning of the year and we’re all still hanging on to our resolutions. It’s the best time to make a sound financial plan, rather than scrambling at the end of the year to put together investments. But since there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, our cover story lays down the basics and helps you build on these. But because money can’t buy everything, we have a heart-warming tale of what our loved ones really want from us. In our other special stories: Shafqat Amanat Ali on what he’d do if he ruled the world, an interview with Michael Caine, how to get lucky, and whether the new black money law really will work. Plus, a look into The Making of a Jihadist and why a healthy young man did what he did. There’s also something for us to sleep over: a special report on sleep, how we, in India, are not getting enough of it, and how we can get our full eight hours. Travel down Australia’s Great Ocean Road, and round it off with a story of a film-maker who has lived well beyond his years, with the support and love of his family. Yes, love does make the world go around. So don’t miss our Valentine’s Day special: To Fall in Love with Anyone, Do This...
