Highlights of Readers Digest India magazine, April 2015 Our April cover story "6 Ways to Save the World" and the "Dreamers" section are about genius inventions that bring hope and possibility to millions. Simple solutions for transporting and purifying water, facilitating safer births, hygienic sanitation, etc, have gone a long way towards making lives easier. Our major Indian story this month, "India's Good Giving Machine," covers the genesis and impact of the NGO GiveIndia. The brainchild of an IIM graduate, it strives to redefine philanthropy in India and make it everybody's concern. The April issue further explores the idea of giving through an opinion piece by Bill and Melinda Gates, who share first-hand knowledge of their relentless work with the world’s poorest people. Read about the romance and reality of cycle rickshaws in "Colour Wheels," and learn all about hyphens and their usage in our "Language" section. Enrich your vocabulary with "Word Power" and challenge yourself with "Brain Teasers." And, as always, the humour departments are all there to tickle your funny bone.
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...
