This is a very practical and sensible decision Desh Ji. I always thought that how can a small team (I assume you have a very efficient but small team to help you) churn out such detailed and filled with facts articles on a daily basis. It was overwhelming for readers like me to digest each story in a single day. Because just reading your newsletter once every morning won't change readers mindsets, we need to keep visiting the newsletter topics again and again. To map the number of facts in your mind, to read the linked sources to better understand the background and then absorb the whole theme of that story, this whole process takes more than just one reading or just 24 hours.

And the next day we get another topic that jolts you again to re-think what you have read and thought so far. So, a week to understand and absorb the topic of your newsletter makes complete sense for dedicated readers like me.

Thanks again Desh Ji, for putting in such an amazing effort to cure mental zombies like me who always thought what we see and hear in the news is the ultimate truth.

Eagerly waiting for your weekly newsletter to start and medium articles too.

Respectfully,

Vibhay

Thanks so much Vibhayji. I am humbled by your comments always. What you are saying about too much to digest was something that I was sensing as well. That is why I just wanted to take a break and rethink. It was good to get your detailed take on it as a reader.

I am my one-man team who researches, writes, edits, published, promotes post my normal work schedule. :) That is why it was so tough to maintain this schedule on my own.

Please do keep sharing your thoughts on the new format as well when it starts. Gives me a reality check.

Cheers,

Desh

Thank you for consistently producing excellent articles and insights Desh ji. I echo Vibhay ji's thoughts on allowing readers some more time to mull on the rich content and analyses...so the change to a weekly schedule makes perfect sense. How you manage to do it by yourself is still a mystery to me! Thank you for the work that you do.

Thanks Mitraji! It is good to see that there is a consensus on the schedule for the newsletter. Like I shared, the newsletter just happens :) I never plan what has to be written or where I will get the info. It just happens when I sit to write.

Great work - much appreciated. A small suggestion please. Could you include a link for making a contribution on EVERY newsletter. Would like to make small monetary contribution from time to time towards your expenses. Please make it possible to contribute using paypal in U.K. currency £.
