Highlights of Reader’s Digest July 2016, issue: The Power of Kindness
We live in an angry world, one that often shakes its fist at us, making us suspicious of just about everything. Our cover story this August is called the ‘Kindness of Strangers’, and it will bring back hope and trust. Read about the tea stall owner who gives a young boy and his father shelter for the night or the kindly man who helps a pregnant woman and her elderly mother—just some of many random acts of kindness that will help you believe once again. The rains have finally reached India and we have a great travel story to celebrate (‘Get Away in the Rains’). You can also chuckle over Samit Basu’s cheeky column on censorship (we did!), and browse through a compelling interview with the dynamic National Award-winning actor Kalki Koechlin. For the health-conscious, there’s a great story on ways to increase your immunity (‘Muscle Up Your Immunity’). It’s a power-packed issue this month, best read with pakoras and tea on a rainy day. Happy reading!
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...
