Highlights of Readers Digest India magazine, October 2014 Read about "The Beautiful Life of Your Brain," our October cover story, which analyzes the neuroscience of our most human traits and how we are programmed to react in different situations. Armed with such knowledge, you can now make your brain work more elegantly and productively, be it at the office, home or the street. For Gandhi Jayanti, our "Words of Lasting Interest" feature is a translation of a soulful hymn Gandhiji lived by. Another festival to commemorate Bapu's birth anniversary is Daan Utsav—its purpose is to encourage people to give something to others who are less fortunate and discover the joy in doing so. Read about it in "The Joy of Giving." This month’s My Story section has a maths teacher writing about the father she lost when she was still a child. A loving parent never really dies, as the story suggests. And Everyday Heroes features two people this time—one a 79-year-old man, the other a teenager. Learn about "How Google Remains the Best Place to Work," and witness the silent attack of urbanization in "Studio." Enrich your vocabulary with "Word Power" and as always, our humour sections are here 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...
