Dear The New Indian Express

I am a Tam-brahm. Why wasn’t I asked to write a column?

Thank you,

Chandrachoodan “Iyer” Gopalakrishnan

    Wait, all Tambrams are writing columns in the New Indian Express?

    Maybe it has something to do with their editorial staff – they’re all Bengali, at least, the ones that contacted me to write for them.

  2. Chandrachoodan Gopalakrishnan Says:

    Most people writing for TNIE - the Saturday and Sunday papers – are Tam brams. Tams, bare minimum. They have the token north-Indian who comes and disappears.

    Yeah. Most editorial staff are Bongs.

  3. Sharanya Says:

    Oi, you HAVE written for the Sunday Express. Remember that book that deeply enriched your life? :P And they’re supposed to send more such your way. Ask and ye shall receive. Hahahaha.

  4. Chandrachoodan Gopalakrishnan Says:

    One review does not a column make.
    More such ? Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!
    I don’t mind more books, that you know. But that kind is not book. It is dry hay down your throat.

  5. Krishnan Says:

    Nilu used to write a column there, didn’t he? Does he still write?

  6. Chandrachoodan Gopalakrishnan Says:

    He did. Not anymore. Not sure why. Perhaps because there were large scale changes in the team at IE.

  7. Tushar Says:

    Dude, what book did you write about there?
    Link is there for that?

  8. Chandrachoodan Gopalakrishnan Says:

    Tushar: My review is here

    Hawkeye: Hmm…that’s news to me. Why though?
