In this issue

A micro-organism has ushered in a macro-Brave New World. Every century or so, humanity is thrown a plague that voraciously breaks us down collectively, so we can build anew. For us at HELLO! , understanding this shift through the actions of our celebrity crusaders, and through the voices of our diverse VIPs - be they corporates, artists, authors, royals, fashion designers - has been a journey filled with hope, insight and even adventure. The Poonawallas were quick to update us on a vaccine in progress against coronavirus. An author/diplomat like Amish Tripathi predicts a revisiting of the Roaring 20s, a resurgence of the 'live for the moment' mindset that followed the Spanish Flu. Community spirit has risen all around us, and narratives of generosity and selflessness permeate the digital space.

We feel nature healing and new ways of living as a revolutionary wave all around us. Hence, our latest issue is a warm embrace to all of you self-isolating out there. As a gesture of love and loyalty to our home-bound readers, we have made our April 2020 issue free and available to access digitally. We hope you enjoy the stories we have put together, we hope they uplift and inspire you, and we hope you will share this edition with your network.
