Highlights of Reader’s Digest India magazine dated December 1, 2012. Our cover story this month is about a little-known urban epidemic of fractures, dislocations and muscle injuries contracted at gyms and sports grounds. Given the scarcity of proper trainers and coaches and a general lack of knowledge about safe workouts, we asked a number of fitness experts and exercise enthusiasts for timely advice and warnings. “Delhi’s One-Man Dispensary” is about 75-year-old Omkar Nath, who has been going door to door collecting medicines for the needy for nearly four years. Grit and selflessness personified, his story exemplifies how we can help others, no matter how old you are. We have our special Christmas stories this month and “Build a Better Brain” (you can!). “How Inflation Gets You!” is an infograph on the prices (nearly all have risen) of common goods and services, which we have been running, with updates every five years since 1997. Read about the latest updates from the world of medicine in “Mednews” and know how anger affects your body in RD Living. Sit back and enjoy this festive season with our “Quirks,” jokes and cartoons. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year from all of us at The Digest.
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...
