Gori Chamdi - Reader's Digest Joy.

After a really long time I happened to pick up a copy of the Reader's Digest this month. Luckily for me there was a new additional supplement called Reader's Digest Joy - for free, along with the issue. Super! I reader the editor's (Mohan Sivanand) note which read, and I quote,

"The Indian edition of the Reader's Digest reached out to more than seven lakh urban women, which is more than the combined reach of all the top Indian women's magazines" ....
"We decided to reach out further with this first issue of Reader's Digest Joy, aimed at our women readers"... blah blah blah.

Oh what a wonderful thought Mr. Sivanand. Since you are so very much in touch with such a large diaspora of the Indian feminine society can you please tell me the reason you chose to stick a pic of a brunette chick on the front cover of your oh so Indian "Joy" ? Total humbug.

This crap is very evident in all our desi publications with blatant neglect of copyright and sticking in pics taken from just about anywhere and mostly of foreigners, sometimes doing crap totally unrelated to the article too. Why cant you stick in some good desi kuris in there. See the recent flurry of sweetness in the Times of India, with pictures of the hip chicks goings for admissions to colleges and some doing boat rides with their families. I wonder who that dame was on the boat ride, very beautiful, had that Mumtaz kinda look in hair and eyes with a 21st century bod to melt ya down. Anyways I digress what is the infatuation with white flesh that we desis seem to have. Come on take a look at the beauty around ya isn't that good enough. If not, go home and get a spanking from your mom right now!
