A great magazine! I thoroughly enjoyed reading the inaugural issue of CW [November 2006], especially the article on insomnia by Master Del Pe. I am going to try the synchronised breathing method and will update you with the results soon. Believe me, your mag is goin’ to be a big hit!

I congratulate you and your new gem of a magazine. A brilliant masterpiece!
— Dr Deepak Jumani, Mumbai

The most important thing I liked about your magazine is — the articles. They are all short and focused. Articles on topics like interpersonal relations and stem cell were very good.

I read your new publication and it is a great fit worldwide. I enjoyed the article on emotional eating and the survey about the meaning of wellbeing. I truly think your publication comes like a breath of fresh air in a world of chaos. People are looking for peace of mind and spirit. We need reflection in our lives to improve our inner-self. My circle of friends is sure going to love your publication!

December-06 Issue

A new record set

The production quality, layout, design and paper of CW are very impressive. What’s more, I liked the choice of subjects, so much so, that this is one of the few magazines in which, I think, I will be reading a good many pieces. You just beat my record reserved for Reader’s Digest. Keep up the good work!
— Y A Pitalwalla, Mumbai

Well done!

CW is beautifully produced. It certainly lives up to its title and meets the demand of GenNext. You’ve done an excellent job. My best wishes go to your success. May CW keep going for a hundred years! Well done!

Positive and healthy

At a time when there’s bleakness and darkness around, your effort to light a candle instead of blaming the darkness [CW, “Life Matters,” November 2006] is highly appreciated.

— Sheetal S, Mumbai

Great design

I find CW very interesting, the language crisp and easy. Your design and production values are truly top class. I particularly liked the articles on flushing out toxins and ayurveda [CW, November 2006]. Congrats on a promising product!

Very interesting stories and good clean layouts! My mother is so impressed, she keeps reading it.

Short and focused

Well began is half done…

I am going through CW with great satisfaction. We are living in an age of strains and stresses of different kinds, with growing conflict in every field. This makes it necessary to find ways and means for getting relief and “standing tall” [CW, November 2006]. I congratulate you as well as your team for bringing out a magazine of this type, which revels in expressing a truly holistic attitude regarding wellbeing of the individual, and is as enriching in every respect. “Well began is half done!”

De-stressing

February-07 Issue

Commendable effort

I found CW to be of a high standard, objectively speaking. It positively indicates at the dizzy heights of success and popularity it is bound to scale in the near future. The quality of paper, the classy pictures, and the selection of articles, in each of the three issues that I have seen, so far, have impressed me a lot, to say the least. You and your team deserve hearty congratulations for such a commendable effort!

— Haresh Pandya, academician, writer, and journalist, Rajkot. Pandya has been published widely, including Hindustan Times, The Hindu, Outlook, The Age [Melbourne], The Guardian [London], and The New York Times.

Useful information

Your magazine provides very useful information on de-stressing, the one most essential thing for our wellbeing today. I especially like the way you give substance to yoga and Reiki.
— Lalitha Balasubramanian, Mumbai

Simply specific

Your articles are very simple and subject specific. The articles I liked the most are — Water…, Breath of Fresh Air, Hair Apparent, Winter Fit, Cancer Prevention, Never Say Never Again, and Good for Two. What I also like about the magazine is your practical approach. You don’t ask us to “pump” ourselves with medications!
— Mrs M M Lotlikar, Mumbai

World-class

I went through your amazingly put-together world-class magazine. CW informs readers, expands their horizons and, above all, invigorates them to live well. The best part is: the magazine provides “comfort” to the eyeball. What’s more, the write-ups are neat and complete too. CW comes across as a health/fitness/wellbeing connoisseur’s delight. It is also strategically stimulating. Hope it is hailed as a milestone!
— Pavan Malhotra, New Delhi

Up-to-date

CW is an excellent magazine, more so because it gives scientific and up-to-date information on topics of day-to-day interest for the common man. As a member of the Editorial Board of a scientific journal, I compliment you for your excellent articles, design, layout, pictures, and printing. Good job!

May-07 Issue

Must-read

My best friend gifted me a year’s subscription to Complete Wellbeing, when we bought our new house. I would really like to thank her for her very thoughtful gesture.

CW is a storehouse of information and knowledge. Your topics on body, health and healing, are very enriching. The magazine also has a good mix of everything that one would want to know for themselves, including relationships.

CW has touched my and my family’s life in many ways. It helps us to improve our sense of “wellbeing.” Also, true to its name, the magazine is a must-read.
— Sonal Mehta, via E-mail

Alive and vibrant

Congratulations to Team CW!

True to its name, the magazine covers each and every page of human life — physical, mental, social, spiritual.

I enjoy reading a lot and I am very happy that I find everything I want in one publication — for my complete wellbeing.

I can also write pages in appreciation of the magazine, but I hope writing this mail itself highlights what the magazine actually means to me.
— Kalpana Goswami, via E-mail

Well-written

I just received copies of your magazine [May 2007]. They are sweet. The cover story on Deepak Chopra [“Deepak Chopra on Living & Healing”] and The Chopra Center is well-written. Thank you!
— David Greenspan, The Chopra Center, Carlsbad, CA, US.

Extensive coverage

I found your magazine all-embracing in its coverage of health and wellbeing issues. The experts’ columns are also very good. Well, I would like to suggest that it would be very useful if you’d feature articles on the Best Five Spas in India, or resorts across India, because a great number of foreign tourists come to our country for rejuvenation. Guess, this will be a good, dependable guide for them.

I also read your write-up on ginger [CW, March 2007] with interest — I am a big “healthy” ginger fan!
