Thank you for reading and reacting to it and we look forward to your continued involvement with Mint’s blogs.

Keeping romance and realism together, Raju almost achieved the impossible.
As the finance guys in US say, ‘Get work, do work, have fun and get paid’. The realism at the end of the profound statement holds the key.
Wishing Raju all the best in future.
Warm regards,
amidst speculations, the real reason behind RR’s sudden adieu will, perhaps, always remain a mystery. whether the romantic got better of the realist or the realist prevailed over the romantic – we may never know. but, yes he has shown us that the 2 can co-exist – at least for sometime – of which Mint itself is a good example. cheers !!
Ha. You expect us to continue reading Mint? or your other spineless blogs? or the pages and content that will now probably lack spine? Go introspect!
Raju – All the very best. You have given us great memories and your open communication style was unique. Cheers.
You gave a new face to media in India.
Cheers
Dear Mr Raju. I wish you all the best with your future endeavours. It was a pleasure reading your articles on “A Romantic Realist”.
Rajus style will be sorely missed. Mint ( to quote a journo) is ( maybe it will be was now) the ideal daily from the journalists perspective.
Dear Raju, We will miss you.
OMG!!!
Is this a knee jerk reaction to recession in economy?? i cudnt think of any weird idea… of raju quitting …an awesome and the most sensible financial daily…
all the best for a gr8 rocking career raju!!!
