Dear Arun and Chand,

Wonderful to hear you were watching NDTV in Cardiff on New Year's eve - and caught a glimpse of me in the debate on the Arushi Talwar murder
case of NOIDA (UP). On NDTV the clip I believe was for not more than two or three minutes?

In fact I was also on TimesNow channel at the same time the previous night on the same topic - but for a debate that lasted more than an hour (from 9pm local to past 10pm local): the NewsHour programme anchored by Arnab Goswami - it was a high profile line up of panellists too: fiery activist women's rights lawyer Flavia Agnes from Bombay; celebrated author and columnist Shobha De also from Mumbai; Supreme Court senior lawyer Pinki Anand; former CBI Director VijayRamaRao; former Addl Solicitor Genl of India Vikas Singh; and the rear-guard pidlywig ex-cop from Delhi yours truly Maxwell Pereira!

And on the day previous to that too (the day CBI filed their closure report in the Aarushi case in court) I was on the TV-channel CNN-IBN, also on the same topic.

Though after return from my travels - this October onwards - I tried keeping away from the channels for some time, in the month of December
they did not spare me; have appeared on some channel or the other every other day, if not everyday as it happened in the last week of the year. So it really becomes a bit difficult to inform friends in advance, especially since more often than not there is hardly enough advance notice given to me too by the channel, and all my appearances are live and never pre-recorded! Even so, I will try to inform if possible.

With warm regards, and wishes for 2011 once again...
Maxie
