The Raven is the magazine born in difficult times, and I have followed its journey from its licensing time, when the egg was still not hatched. The team behind the magazine, who are very active social activists, and the numerous discussion about it on social media made the waiting very hard. The Raven broke its egg and spread its wings on 13th October 2012; choosing the special day made the occasion of first royal wedding anniversary part of the magazine's history.

| Finally I caught a Raven |
In next few days I received the PDF copy of the book but that didn't quench the long thirst of having waited. and it was yesterday evening I finally got my hands on the Raven. The magazine is now in Bajothang at TashiKee Mid Point store.
Last night I spent the time watching Kezang read it and soon gave up to sleep. This morning I added an extra hour to my day and feasted on the magazine. The name has always impressed me and now the design has won my heart. The Raven's wingspan has covered the hottest issues and its claws have dug the depths. The maturity seen on the cover design is maintained throughout the 74 pages taking its worth beyond Nu.100. The most wow factor was the independence it celebrates with its own in-depth research and interview with people about issues that matter most these days.
I have seen magazines come and go, and news of another magazine shouldn't impress me but with The Raven all hopes are renewed and I only hope it will fly down generations across. Best Wishes.

ReplyDeleteEvery word you have uttered here feels like they have come from my heart. You are indeed a wonderful person, besides being a wonderful blogger.

Ok friends, now I have the permission from the editor to distribute the PDF for free since it is the inaugural issue. I cannot be so selfish to enjoy the whole feast myself. But forwarding the PDF is a problem, first I don't have all ur addresses and once sent you don't get it because the mail goes to the junk box by default. Therefore I will provide the link to download the mag straight from my blog. Click on the link to download.
