Highlights of Reader’s Digest India magazine dated December 1, 2013. With 15 lakh new stroke cases every year in India, we have a comprehensive cover story "Stroke! When Every Minute Counts." Many doctors now prefer to call it "brain attack" in order to show how seriously damaging a stroke can be. The article explains how to recognize a stroke and act quickly. It also covers prevention and the latest medical updates. "Escape to India" is a moving story of a migrant whose family was forced to abandon its roots and start life from scratch after the fateful 1947 partition. For Christmas, there's an RD classic, “The Gold & Ivory Tablecloth.” It’s the kind of World War II story that used to appear often in the Digest after family members, tragically separated, found each other several years later. Other highlights of the December issue include a commemorative 50th anniversary Quick Study on the assassination of John F. Kennedy. "You Must Remember This," details scientific ways to improve your memory. And there is "You Know What I Mean," on why some relics of the English language can't be avoided. Enjoy a lively feedback debate on whether e-readers can beat proper books in "React," and read the most heartwarming of stories in "Kindness of Strangers." And as always, there's our humour sections and RD Living to make our lives merrier and easier.
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...
