Highlights of the issue:- How informed are you about matters of personal finance? Though the number crunching can be daunting for some, staying up to date about dynamic monetary rules can be both cerebral and rewarding. Written in our easy-to-read style, the December cover story "Update Your Financial Info" is here to guide you. Celebrating the power of the individual is "Durga's Shakti"—the story of a brave Mumbai girl who fought against the oppressive men of her own community. With so much distrust and fear clouding Indo-Pakistan relations, we take a look at what makes us such incompatible neighbours through some of the most relevant books written on the topic. Other highlights of the December issue include "The Sixth Diamond," a heartwarming Reader's Digest Classic about how tact and a kind word can help allay despair in the worst of times. Enjoy reading the ingenious ways non-native speakers use to express themselves in "English (According to the World)." And with the winter setting in, learn about "Easy Ways to Beat a Cold." Enrich your vocabulary with "Word Power," and our humour sections are here as always 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...
