Every magazine promises that it is different. But what makes a magazine interesting?This is a question that even editors can't answer.
On a fateful day, I was going to bring curd for my khichidi. I decided to walk further to browse different newspapers. Soon, I was ensnared by a glossy cover. I thought it would be another fashion magazine carrying raunchy photos of models with some ribald matter. But I wasn't right. It was 'The Sunday Indian'.I thought that a new era of genuine fearless journalism has begun. The are articles were thought provoking,precise and carries a satire. In the entertainment section of the magazine there is an element of levity.
It is a very good source for improving English. The good thing is that it doesn't work on the principles of expediency. Now a days a new term has been coined: Saffron terror. God knows what it is. Because, I know that only those who are hell bent on destroying the social fabric of this nation can spread these rumours.I am sure that no newspaper or magazine which believes in the unity of this nation can do the same.'The Sunday Indian' is not squeamish about writing on Hindu issues. It is imperative that we choose the right source of news for broadening our outlook.
As far as my gumption is concerned, I feel the magazines such as 'The Week','Open' and also the one about which I am writing are doing the right job.
God bless the editorial teams of these magazines.....
