<strong>SoCultures</strong> <strong>November</strong> <strong>2018</strong><br />
Editorial<br />
Welcome to <strong>November</strong>!<br />
<strong>November</strong> is here! That auspicious time of the year, when the weather starts to<br />
cool and fallen leaves look like works of art in mellowed delicate sunshine. There<br />
is a festive glow before the arrival of Christmas, Diwali, and New Year...and it has<br />
begun to brighten up smiles on the faces of children, flowers like Orchids, Pansies,<br />
Roses, Lilies and the surroundings... <strong>November</strong> is also the time of pale sunlight,<br />
sweaters, coats, snow, warm socks and thick soups.<br />
There are many important days which fall in this month – World Kindness Day<br />
(Nov 13), America Recycles Day (Nov 15), to World Peace Day (Nov 17) and<br />
many more. And <strong>SoCultures</strong> feels that all days are beautiful and it’s also the time<br />
of the year when we can add more beauty to these quickly passing by times.<br />
<strong>SoCultures</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> <strong>November</strong> <strong>2018</strong> and its featured stories wish to add more<br />
meaning, creativity and inspirations to the beautiful days.<br />
The Christmas cakes and Diwali savouries waft the familiar earthy, salty, sweet<br />
aromas all around. The intermingling outlandish aromas of cinnamon, freshly<br />
baked apple pie cake or coffee are delicious and full of warmth.<br />
<strong>SoCultures</strong> has ample “Food for thought” to relish in this <strong>November</strong> issue.<br />
The stories from Russia, Mexico, America, and France are sure to fill in the<br />
reading hours with smiles, thoughts and insights and we recommend reading with a<br />
hot cuppa of coffee and our story on Russian breads in “Breads! Slices! Story!”<br />
Russia is a country with rich past and great culture and this month issue has the<br />
Cover Story on Russia. We invite you to take a metro ride and praise the opulent<br />
décor of its metro stations in “Opulent and Palatial”, know more about the<br />
grandeur of Russian heritage in theaters, in a story titled “Russian Theater.”<br />
Experience the real Russia in “Russia Beyond the News”, a detailed interview with<br />
