ForbesLife Launches - Looks Good (and familiar!)

Forbes India recently launched a very high end magazine ForbesLife India - a quarerly magzine which costs Rs. 200. Nice range of content and a visual treat. However, it reminded us of a magazine which my friend Amit - a journalist and entreprenuer - had picked up in South Africa almost 4 years ago. Since we are in same business of content generation and design, for a trained eye the similarities are too stark to go unnoticed. The dimensions of magazine (size), paper quality, design elements, content strcuturing bear striking resemblence with the South Africal magazine 'Monocle'. [Click the link to read about the latest issue of 'Monocle'.] Here is the link to the subscription page of the latest issue of ForbesLife India.

And yes, they both have a picture story!!

Offcourse, this might not be plagiarism because we do not know. But huge resemblence - yes!!

Here are some links which you may find interesting - 

Cover Versions - How dare ‘a little magazine’ accuse Forbes India of plagiarism!

This dominating, awesome Shirish tree

This is the ever present, magnificent Shirish tree infront of my office.
Summer seems just around the corner and winter is almost over.
The tree has started shedding its leaves to welcome yet another summer...so it is almost snowfall of thousand leaves with every breeze of wind.
Lucky to have such a beautiful location for workplace in Pune!
