Highlights of Reader’s Digest May 2018, issue:
Often, as we get older and are faced with the vagaries of life, when grief and pain threaten to overwhelm us and happiness seems far away, it is friends, family and our resilience that can help bring back the joy. How? Read on, about this secret mantra in the May cover story: ‘Choose Happiness Every Time’.

‘On a Clear Day …’ Another good read comes from the foothills of the mighty Himalayas, a sense of perspective that could well become life’s motto. Here’s how, if we look hard enough, gathering clouds don’t really have to be cause for dismay in life.

When the rape and brutal killing of a minor is mired in controversy purely because of her religion and the perpetrators of the crime roam about with great insouciance, it is indeed time to ask whether basic humanity is in danger—it is time to ask ourselves ‘What Have We Become?’ Author Anuradha Roy’s clarion call in this issue, and many more.

Happy reading!

Suddenly, after working with the company for more than four years, a regular day at work had turned into his last. As he cleared his desk of his belongings and small objects he had used to personalize his workspace, the HR personnel’s words came back to him in snatches ... “IT slump … headcount reduction … have to let go … three months’ salary in lieu of your notice period … encash leave … avail free services of placement agency … effective today …” Before the day ended, Rajesh was out.
