Reader's Digest

Reader’s digest is a magazine which I have been reading it since my school years. I would say that it is a very good magazine. This is a magazine, which can be read by everyone in the family. It has sections for everyone. Humor, real life stories, anecdotes, articles of bravery and courage, Articles for kids, etc.

This is one of the good health magazines too. Fro example it has articles about certain medicine, certain diseases like heart attacks and how to deal with them in emergency, etc.

The best thing is it improves your language a lot. The writing is simple and clear. You will not have any difficulty going through the writing. Its humor section is pretty cool and the footnote of each page will have a humorous saying or a quote or an anecdote.

Its increases the pleasure of reading, This magazine has articles of all kinds. Women , Health, True stories, Inspirational stories of real life people.

The word power section is also good…. it greatly increases your vocabulary. It has great illustrations, most of them are hand drawn. So it is attractive to read too.

All in all it makes a good read if you want to relax with a light book in the afternoons or before going to sleep . The best thing about this book which I like is that it’s fun, creates awareness and educational too. If someone is sick, this magazine can read to that person. Or if you are travelling somewhere by train its a good magazine to pick up. Another advantage of this magazine is that its size. Its just the right size to take it in your travelling bag. :).

The price is high if you purchase it. The best thing to do is to subscribe to this magazine.
So many magazines have come into the foray but this magazine maintains its standard of quality writing and articles as it was before.

Anyway check it out if you are interested and I am sure you will like it !!!

Now Reader’s Digest is available online. It is as good as the book but not that good. For more info check out

Titan watch..

I was first associated with this watch when I was in High School. I had been given a gift by my father as I was crossing the first educational hurdle of my life...... Matriculation.

This watch has been a sort of a second skin to me and of course its been like a best friend to me for the past 11 years. And its still going strong.

As for maintenance I hardly had to go to the service centre except to change batteries three times in 11 years. That says a lot for the watch. This particular watch is an old model which has a black dial and a leather strip. This would look good on casual wear as well as formal wear. That was the best part. It could carry me through any situation and it was light to wear. The lightness of this watch would make me feel as if I was not wearing anything on my hand. Comfortabilty was the key factor of the watch besides the service.

I would like to point out another fact. Usually watches react to extreme weather. But this watch is compatible with any weather condition. I have been through heavy rains, hot sun, extreme winters and humid weather but it did not give up.... this watch is a true survivor.

I acquired another jewellery watch from TITAN which is three in one. I found that pretty interesting as this watch would suit all occasions and look cool on my hand too. I hope that this also endures for a considerable amount of time.

My first watch is still close to my heart and till today a stranger sometimes compliments me on the watch and they dont believe that this buddy of mine is 11 years old !!! :):)

If you are thinking of investing on a watch for your friend as a gift or giving your daughter or son a gift for 21st birthday or 16th birthday... you can surely check this brand out. Titan has got a wide variety of ranges and designs to choose from and they have something for every one and every occasion...

Do check it out !!!!!
