Highlights of Reader’s Digest March 2017, issue: Change is inevitable. But it gets scary when you listen to stories of how artificial intelligence and robotics will take away our jobs, of how the careers of today will simply cease to exist. Don’t panic, just take a deep breath and dive into our cover story. First there is a compelling essay by award-winning sci-fi writer, Samit Basu on ‘The Future of Jobs’, followed by ‘Trending Now’, which reveals the five exciting fields that will help keep your career stable. Once you are done peering through the crystal ball, kick back and enjoy the 15 short stories written by our readers as part of the 100-Word Story competition. We have hand-picked the best specially for you!
March 8 is International Women’s Day and we have put together a special collection of articles—from the inspiring ‘Oxygen for the Soul’ by Urvashi Butalia, the heart-warming ‘The Missing Piece’ to women’s health made easy in ‘A Lifetime of Good Health’. We are not short on inspiration this month. Don’t miss ‘The Ultimate High’, the story of a 60-year-old man and a dream that pushed him to the very limit. Then there is Drama in Real Life, in the form of a rookie firefighter out on his first rescue. Rounding off is ‘Natural Born Desi’, about those Indian words that have made it to the English dictionary. Be prepared to be amazed and delighted!
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...
