Arre yaar Anand. Amused twitter users just alerted me to a vile, slanderous, abusive rant... ok, basically your normal communication on twitter. The piece is full of delusions about yourself. My response to your melodrama, & usual hysteria (dude seriously). WNDTT 2/n 
You have claimed some NL insider informed you there was chatter about taking down your pieces. Your past association with NL notwithstanding, voices in your own head don't count as "NL insider". Only 2 people here have the authority to remove anything from NL & neither of us 3/n
have been given this advice by anyone or discussed it amongst ourselves (we cant hear the voices in your head. Promise. Thats just you.). You'll be shocked to know you don’t really crop up in chats. There is no "change in management" since you were here last. Also you were 4/n
here cos YOU had requested me to give you Consulting Editor title. You asked for it in your sweet agreeable way like you often do when not screaming on telly or twitter. Your twitter bravado is in contrast to your pathetic cowardice and in person hai main bechara display. 5/n
l have not called it out earlier & laughed off your nuttiness cos of a combination of pity & past association but tum toe phoolte hi ja rahe ho miyan. A lot of your nonsense is given a pass cos of pity, and i see you misuse that. Your pathetic display here needs to be called 6/n
out. For all your trashing NL, the last communication from you was that you'd like to be allowed to keep the title of consulting editor, kyun? Cos that’s the only thing that gave you legitimacy munna. Since you put everything out on twitter do share your last e-mail to me :) 7/n
hawa nikal gayi kya? Not sure why you pathetically wanted to be part of NL if you think of us as so terrible. Hai re tera schizophrenia. You rage and rant on twitter but when confronted in person buckle like a puppy that yaps and barks and runs with his tail between his legs 8/n
when confronted. You displayed that with Hartosh Bal when you hurled vile offensive shit at him on twitter but when you met him here in office, the colour drained from your face & you said "seize fire comrade. Seize fire”. And giggled nervously. Mujhe bhi daya aa gayi thi 9/n
Hartosh laughed and let it go. Its pity that gives you a free pass too often. So pipe down sonny and dont pelo threats of legal action.... we've swum with sharks, shrimp don’t scare us. You can’t take criticism or a challenge to your often idiotic theses and you have 10/n
displayed that in how you treated feedback mails at NL. While we all read the ones that call us out, you didn’t want the ones calling you out to be sent to you, cos even a decent mail calling out your bullshit makes you shit. Your lame attempts to insult my colleagues by 11/n
calling then interns and reporters display your hollow bombast. They are amazing at what they do, unafraid and will never need the endorsement or validation by hateful nuts as a crutch for relevance. Their work speaks volumes. Now run along and play with the nutters who 12/n
make you relevant and give you your sagging self esteem a boost. I could go on, but your hai main bachara rondu face looms large. n/n

Apologies for using the word "schizophrenia" in above rant. Is wrong, improper and insensitive. Will be careful in future. I'm sorry.
