Highlights of Readers Digest India magazine, October 2015 Our greatest wish as we bring to you the October cover story is that its message should trigger a mass movement across India. “The Priest & the Industrialist” is about how the selfless acts of two men sparked off an unprecedented organ-donation movement across Kerala. Award-winning actress Vidya Balan is not just a force to reckon with in Bollywood. Read about her social commitment and humanitarian work in "The RD Interview." For Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, we have "The Man Next to Me," a moving account of how a woman received unexpected wisdom that helped her fight the disease. Other highlights of the issue include the moving tale of an Indian soldier fighting in the World War I, and his saga of valour and fidelity, an article that explores why India can't get enough of setting unusual world records, and an endearing "Book Bonus" about an old lady who refused to sell her house to real estate developers. Give yourself some food for thought with Ruskin Bond's "Words of Lasting Interest" and of course, there is "Kindness of Strangers," which affirms that all is not lost. As always, our humour sections are packed with anecdotes 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...
