About this issue
Highlights of Reader’s Digest India magazine dated February 1, 2013. With unhealthy diets and lack of exercise, a generation of obese urban Indian children face huge medical risks and reduced lifespans. “Time to Stop Childhood Obesity,” our cover story this month, looks into this alarming problem and suggests what parents and teachers can do to help children lead healthier lifestyles. Setting up massive private educational institutions where well-to-do students pay for themselves and in turn help educate thousands of poor tribals is a model that is bringing about a gradual but steady change in Odisha. Learn about the man behind this in “Achyut Samanta’s KISS of Life.” Another inspirational story is that of Phiona Mutesi. The 14-year-old, who lives in one of the worst slums on earth, has taken the chess world by surprise. In the wake of the notorious December rape in Delhi, this month’s “In My Opinion” demands some introspection—Swaminathan Aiyar wants us to look at Indian films for answers to why our men harass women so blatantly. Other highlights of the February issue include “The Last Day of Osama bin Laden” and a fascinating Real-Life Drama on how a little boy lost from Madhya Pradesh and adopted in Australia, finally found his birth mother. Boost your self-control and learn the secrets of your taste buds in RD Living while you sit back and chuckle with our humour departments.
About Reader's 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...
