    Why Magpie? Because I like observing these sleek birds with a tapering tail. And like Magpies, I live with the burden of being a 'chatter', even though I believe that I am rather shy, reserved and unobtrusive :).

The first issue, features content related to the popular Bollywood movie 'Krrish', Disney movies, jokes, comic pages, gaming zones, computer and gadget write-ups, fashion, contests. Disney Adventures India will be a monthly with about 100 pages.

    If you are an ardent magazine reader and are looking for a good magazine for your child, you might want to consider Highlights for Children. Lotus Learning Private Limited brings this internationally-acclaimed publication to Indian kids at a subscription price of Rs 990 for one year. You have to request for the magazine by writing to their office in Mumbai (Lotus House, 512 SV Road, Bandra (W), Mumbai-50). Manorama Group too brings out an English weekly magazine for kids called Magic Pot. You can subscribe at their group website.
