Reader's Digest India Magazine - November 2014

In this issue

Highlights of Readers Digest India magazine, November 2014

Airplane crashes capture our imagination and haunt our memory. Even as the probability of surviving a crash is 76 percent, the odds of being the only one left alive are infinitesimal. Our cover story this month is about the fascinating stories of three such sole survivors of plane crashes who cheated death.

Given today's changed social and sexual climate, the need for a renewed understanding of adolescent sexual behaviour is pressing. "When Young Girls Are at Risk" is the result of a researcher's exhaustive work on the subject, and should give parents and youngsters much insight into a little-discussed topic.

Other highlights of the November issue include The RD Interview with Sanal Edamaruku, a freethinker who, thanks to a colonial law, has been hounded in modern India. And read about the plight of elephant populations across the globe in our Bonus Read "Dying for Ivory."

Get some food for thought from our "Points to Ponder" and reaffirm your faith in the goodness of people with "Kindness of Strangers." As always, our humour sections are here with their dose of laughter for you.
