    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 :).

    LaunchPAD: GEO India Edition

    Indian edition of GEO, a G+J International title, hit the newsstands last week. Priced at Rs 100, GEO India is published by the Outlook Publishing Group and has Kai Friese as the Editor.
    The inaugural issue I picked up yesterday, had an interesting edit by Kai, but seemed to have significantly high ratio of international content.

    PS: A long holiday means I have missed out on many launches. Regular updates from now!

    Glad to know you were on holiday. I thought there were no new launches since your last post, so it's good news that we'll be hearing of more new mags soon.

    Looking forward to updates.
