Dear Reader,
When you think of money, so many dimensions come rushing to your mind, isn’t it? For some it’s a dire necessity, for others it spells luxury, some call it sheer trouble, others call it the ticket to happiness. That’s essentially what we aim to capture in this September 2011 issue of Spark themed, ‘All about Money!’ – the different perspectives. And no, we don’t just stop with money as it means to us from a philosophical and practical point of view. We have three special columns that explore money from a financial perspective too.

Dear Reader, It is never easy to talk all about India in one issue. However, what we have done is to earnestly try to bring in as many perspectives as we can in the August 2011 edition of Spark themed, ‘India Decoded’. We have a wide variety of contributions this time too – fiction, non-fiction, poetry, art and photography! And very interesting interviews with four bestselling Indian authors! The bonus this time is the smashing new PDF that we have designed for the issue. It’s a MUST see! Click here to read our issue on the e-reader, ISSUU or to download the PDF.

What would life be without cinema? It really would have been so much less fun. And why not, when it does so many things? It makes you dream. It entertains you. It makes you laugh. It moves you to a tear or two. It awakens admiration in you. It makes you think deeply. It throws you back in time. It teaches you the nature of life. It lets you glimpse larger than life images. And in some way, it lets you forget your own self and makes you feel you are part of a larger, unified scheme, for a brief while. And that’s essentially what this issue seeks to explore. The different aspects of cinema and the sheer joy that films bring to our lives. Ladies and Gentlemen, we welcome you to revel in Movie Magic.
