Highlights of the issue:-The world around us has become rude. We all experience this often. Our cover story "What Happened to Good Manners" is a survival guide to deal with this all-pervading boorishness. They say that hard work and talent change the course of one's destiny. Shubham Jaglan's success story aptly proves the point. "Fairway to Success" describes how the child prodigy from a Haryana village overcame several odds to become a global golf phenomenon. It's unusual to come across a film star who reaches out to the needy without a splash of publicity. But if the star is Nana Patekar, expect a different attitude. Get to know about his life, films and his propensity to help others in the RD interview, "Raindrop in the Drought." Worried if you are eccentric? Find out in "Is It Just Me?" To celebrate Christmas we have a heart-warming story, "The Christmas Present." Other highlights of the December issue include our drama "Into the Rock", travel, "Along the Wine Route" and "Is Your Bank Selling You Dodgy Schemes?" To take care of your skin this winter, read, "Do-it-Yourself Wintercare." And learn about what to keep in your house and what to throw out in "Keep or Toss." Increase your vocabulary with "Word Power" and get inspired by "Quotable Quotes". Our humour departments, as always, give you your monthly dose of laughter.
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...
