I am now a columnist for Yahoo! India. My brief is to be a humour columnist, so I will try hard to be funny. The column will appear on alternate Saturdays. The first column is here, and the next one will be out tomorrow morning.
Points to note:
- So far, I am a failure as a columnist. Almost all the other columnists in the spectacular lineup have been getting hate mail/ hate comments. I have got nothing despite being a humour columnist. I must be doing something wrong.
- I am not going to link every column from the blog. The columns have their own RSS feed. Also, Yahoo! apparently is also working on a spiffier website with an easy to remember address for the India columnists.
- You can’t comment on the column page itself, but there’s a link between the headline and the main text to the Yahoo Buzz discussion, where you can leave comments. I may respond to comments over there – my Yahoo! display id is double a.
- You can send me email about the column to the stereotypist@wokay.in id mentioned in my bioline.
- The first few columns will probably be very different stylistically, until I figure out what works best. But I’m hoping to bring back a character I created when I first started writing on the internet.
- The Year in Preview posts will stay on this blog. Yahoo doesn’t get those.
- I get paid for doing this! I am now officially a little bit hippie.

awesome writing aadisht. landed here from the yahoo blog. you combine apt humor with relevant issues. bravo!
Hey I first saw this article here (http://anaggh.posterous.com/ineresting-and-very-topical) and absolutely loved it, forwarded to a bunch of my friends and they appreciated it as well. Keep up the good work!
I loved your columns! I found the link on Aishwarya’s blog, and they’re hilarious! I love how you talk about real issues with humour… the point always seems to be stronger this way than it would be if you wrote about it directly.
Keep writing. 🙂 I would love to read more.
