I like to read print in India.. especially as my windoze laptop takes 30~45 mins to initialise with my work network on VPN over internet. I have ToI delivered to my apartment but can someone suggest an alternative? I'm afraid it needs to be in English as my I have no reading skills in Hindi (or Marathi or Kennada - apart from asking for a beer and counting to ten).
