Highlights of Reader’s Digest August 2018, issue: As India is all set to celebrate Independence Day we turn to our youth to understand what freedom means to them. Alongside, we examine the state of freedom in a digital world in ‘How Free Are We?’ As Press freedom across the globe stands threatened, we look back at India's first English-language newspaper, helmed by a maverick Irishman, that challenged the might of Governor General Warren Hastings in 'An Unlikely Champion of Press Freedom'. We live in times fraught with hatred and communal conflict. Everyday Heroes brings hope as we pan into the lives of a couple and a policeman, regular people, who stood up against aggression to save lives. Find inspiration in The Transformative Power of Giving--experiences of ordinary people who felt bigger than themselves when they embraced a life of philanthropy. Other fascinating reads include ‘My Family’s Slave’, ‘Trapped in a Glacier’, ‘When the Ektara Fell Silent’, and a fascinating photo feature titled ‘Clandestine in Delhi’. Of course, there are a number of stories in our Art of Living Section that bring practical tips and advice--especially in this rainy season.
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...
