Mint Lounge Columnist's reply

Mint Lounge (31 July 2008)

Dear Sir,

While recent special issues on Olympics & Batman are a delight for their respective fans, please make sure that regular columns aren't sacrificed in the process. I think, you can easily accommodate regular columns by adding more pages to your special issues.

Mint Lounge Columnist Seema Chowdhry's reply is as follows:-

Dear Mr Meher

Thank you for your feedback and we are happy that you take time out to write to us. I am writing to you on behalf of Lounge with reference to your letter. I am keen to understand which are the regular sections you have been missing in Lounge. In the Batman issue, we carried all the regular columns and also carried The Good Life and Pursuits in both issues. In the Olympics, since it was a special theme issue, we changed the sections around... but it is good know that our regular pages (and special issues) are appreciated.

Thank you for writing in

Mint Editor's reply

Dear Sir,

By far, Lounge is the best weekend reads among all newspapers. In the form of Shoba Narayan, M Venkatesh, Arjun Nair, R Sukumar, etc., you have the best writers in your arsenal. The only missing element in this otherwise perfect menu is the lack of space for reader’s feedback. I request you to regularly devote some space (maybe half a page) for reader’s letters. It is quite often seen that readers are equally intelligent as your writers & have very insightful views. I hope it is not too much of an expectation, to share other reader’s views with us.

A suggestion to Mr. R. Sukumar – Please feature an article on my favourite Indrajal Comic Heroes like Phantom, Mandrake, Bahadur, Rip Kirby, etc.

Dear Mr Meher,

Thank you for your email. We really appreciate you taking the time to write to us. You also make a valid point on letters. But, you might be surprised to know there are not many letters that come in that appeal to a broader audience of Lounge readers. Often they are questions or aimed at specific writers. But your larger point is well taken.

With regards,
