Hafta Letters: Birthday wishes for NL, appreciation for Manisha, ‘high quality’ TM Krishna discussion

Raghav

Hi Team. Wish NL a very Happy Birthday!! It was a pleasure listening to Mr TM Krishna. Crisp and clear ideas, very well put. Thank you. It's an honour to be a part of the movement that is Newslaundry. I am proud to say that I built Newslaundry.

Hi Hafta, 

Thanks for covering the controversy surrounding General Naravane’s latest book. I only wish more time had been devoted to the discussion, as I was really looking forward to it. Despite being a subscriber to The Caravan, I’m somehow unable to access the full article, which added to my disappointment. For others who may be in the same boat, I’d recommend checking out Force Magazine's (Pravin Sawhney) analysis on its YouTube channel. Regards, KT.

Congratulations on your 14th anniversary! Your discussion with TM Krishna on his book was very focused and of high quality – it made my day. And the icing on the cake was Abhinandan's eclectic recommendations. They've left my life enriched!

I've been regularly consuming all of your content, and it's indeed a pleasure to know that I've placed my faith and money in the right hands.

Dear Newslaundry Team,

Happy birthday! Here's to many, many more!!

Hafta is a weekend ritual, now even for my 9-year-old daughter, Ira! Abhinandan, she finds you really amusing! She laughed so much at your Sholay joke in a recent episode, even though the movie came out 40 years before she was born, and she's never watched it! She rolled with laughter at your imitation of Diwali crackers and made me replay that part so many times!

Which is all to say that even between the funny parts, she listens interestedly to the serious stuff. I've written to you all before that I wish you would create some content that could benefit children and young adults. Perhaps invite some younger guests, educators, children's authors, and people who work with kids. Maybe even just a special episode.

Jayshree, you are my spirit animal. Your rants elevate each episode to a higher plane! Love also your split-second retorts to Abhinandan's tomfoolery! 

Keep going, guys!

Love,

Dr. Sneha Hukmani

Hi,

Just writing in after I read the absolutely mind-boggling comments by the honourable Delhi HC judge on Manisha. 

All I want to say is lots of love and deep appreciation for the work she and her team do on TV Newsance. It was my entryway to all things newslaundry. If only the so-called mainstream media put in half the effort in doing real journalism that you all do in your satirical works.

Regards,

Sneha

Hello,

In The Indian Express, I read that a Delhi High Court judge reprimanded Manisha for some comments and later issued a clarification that this was not intended to tarnish Manisha's career. My question to Manisha is: Were you in court when this happened? Did you endure the reprimand personally? And does this happen often? Would like to know your thoughts on this matter.
