Highlights of Readers Digest India magazine, July 2014 Our July cover story brings you insider info on the challenging, lives-in-their-hands job surgeons do. “50 Secrets & Tips From Top Surgeons” is full of helpful advice as the doctors reveal their expertise, fears and even the seedy side of their profession. At the heart of Reader’s Digest are people who help change the lives of others with their acts of courage and kindness. Our "Everyday Heroes" section is about one such person who helped rebuild a crumbling orphanage near Bangalore. And so is "The Serenity of Being Satish Kumar." An unusual Indian, this editor-cum-environmentalist once travelled the world on foot to spread his message of peace. "The Lion Whisperer," our Bonus Read for July, is about a zoologist who uses his knowledge to save endangered African lions. Other highlights of the issue include a heartwarming "My Story" set in the time of the Partition; "Statesmen on the Train," about a chance encounter with two politicians; and "Mind" on how Sleep Hygiene can be a simpler alternative to pills and other devices for insomnia. Put your thinking cap on for "You Be the Judge," and sit back and enjoy our humour sections with the revival of an old Digest favourite: "As Kids See It."
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...
