Desi sites reek
Your site rocks!! Here I am, far away from home - Juhu, Mumbai... far away in scenic-yet-not-home sunny San Diego... and I stumble across your site... keep up the good work…
And hey, why care what people say... When MAD magazine was started way back in the 40's, TIME magazine predicted that "MAD is a short-lived satirical pulp"… So where is Alfred E. Neuman today? Well, the classic idiot icon of our times still smiles on.
You have done a good thing... usually 'desi' sites reek of Recipes, Investment opportunities, some discussions on oft repeated topics or only about how great India is.. I totally believe in the greatness of India... It was because of India that I am who I am today and quite successful in USA. I also know our shortcomings... India is the most interesting potpourri of everything you can imagine on the face of this planet. Only India can have Nehru and Gandhi and Laloo and Mayawati..
Only we can have poor people and Supercomputers... you get the drift?
I love my country and I love great talent that it has produced... like your team... I liked your eZine... Its refreshing... Keep it up...

India?? Who said anything about India!!??!! We're just a bunch of Bhutanese monks operating out of Thimpu and led by the great Al-Faridi Gnu-Mann ("Hot, me curry!"), attempting to subvert India's democracy (we've enlisted the help of the RSS, the BJP, the VHP, the Bajrang Dal, the Shiv Sena, and Laloo Prasad Yadav), so that we can take over the pathetic masses and use them in our ultimate aim of global domination. - Editor

Poor Old Surd
Thanks for the title 'Laughing Stock'. We knew what to do after reading your piece on 10 Lewinskies. The effort may need me take a few days off from work though,
Keep up the good work, that is keep giving helpful hints: this is 'desi', 'that is satire' and now you have to laugh.
(in another e-mail): To make Sarso da saag of a poor old surd was hitting below the belt. Live and let live, in spite of livers. (Have I got your lingo right?)

Perhaps we need to give helpful hints to decode letters such as these.

BAN JAAL
Are you guys born in India? What are those sick jokes about Orgasm?
Hope none of the Management team has Daughters. It will be interesting to see somebody's kids seeing this (I mean age 18 and above) and discussing about this article. Imagine they are asking to reach to Orgasm without marriage.
That will be true value sold by you guys, Hope you understand what is mean by jokes and entertainment, I will not classify your site as much different from some of the XXX sites, Please take me out of your list,

May please this mail be not mistaken for a "flame". I visited your site because somebody recommended it to me as "entertainment and humor about India and Her politicians". After visiting your site I was appalled to see the display of vulgararism and porno writing. I felt ashamed of myself for letting a bunch of porno loving "writers" fool me so easily. I do not want to discuss the contents of your site but for sure it should be featured on XXXX rated sites.
Do I need to add that people like you should be whipped in public? I am asking this because I am sure somebody else would have already made this wish. May God grant his wish. Take Care and B good in future.

Are you guys sick?
What are you going to achieve by publishing all this sick stuff?
Don't try to fool around people by writing and publishing this XXX kind of stuff. Please try to understand the meaning of jokes and entertainment in Indian context if you call yourself "Indian", otherwise don't call this magazine or yourself an "Indian" magazine.
Please send me the name of the agency who sold you my name, e-mail id & other details and also remove me from your list.

The family that e-mails together, stays together.
Plus, we porno-loving writers wished to be whipped in public - preferably at a women's college, and inside the hostel, late at night -- though you Bajrang Dal types would probably rather want to burn us alive.

On the run
It seems like a nice idea to have a little "Indian" magazine on the run. I guess we need some "Desi" in all of us. Hope to read the latest from you all. Happy New Year!!

Actually, my mom said that we need some "Desi ghee" in all of us.

The investment guy
Mr. Jha (the investment guy) seems to enjoy the Monica/Bill article. The article was in fact very funny ...it was your kind of sense of humor… big b... of Sushma Swaraj and all that. Your magazine reminds me of Jay Leno/David Letterman 's show. Although I don't see these shows often but I am sure people like reading satire and jokes made on politicians. My favourite is "spins and needles" and I am looking forward to read the next article - "Indian male and Mama's boy".

Is Mr Jha a Mama's boy? And stop hanging out with bookies with big butts!!

It runs
Congratulations on the 1 month anniversary of Jaal. I finally have internet access and was able to visit JAAL. Jaydeep saw it before I did and was very impressed. I told him that it runs in the family.

HOW DARE YOU!! To insinuate that we have anything in common!! I, the disciple of the great Al-Faridi Gnu-Mann (Hot, me Curry!!), and you, an anonymous and lonesome worker ant who has to visit trashy websites such as Jaal to provide meaning to her dull and empty existence - how can WE be related??

Spread out
I also started to visit you after the news item in ZeeInd. Now I am addicted to it. Make it a weekly edition. Remember India is not concentrated only in New Delhi -- spread out, U will get more -- search in the lalooland and the red citadel too.
Cheers

A good humor
I am sorry, I was bit busy!
I went through the page you sent. It's a good humor. But I prefer some serious political stuff, so in future if you feel something like that you have for me, please let me know. Definitely I will give my comments.
