[Reader-list] Fwd: The Hindi Little Magazines

[Ravikant]

Not really. Most of these magazines are print magazines with the exception of 
tadbhav, parakh and Hans that are also available online. But some people may 
not put Hans and Vagarth under the category of little magazine. Anurag whose 
posting I forwarded should know better. Anyway, here are the URLs for these 
four magazines. The last two use their own fonts while the first two use 
unicode fonts.
