Forms the basis of journalism. guest89:Have you ever thought of taking Neeya Naana outside to some public area and debating amongst the people to get a more raw and real feel. gopinath:Even in the sets it is a raw show only because we meet the people in the sets for the very first time. In fact we have also done few shows outside the studio and also planning to give more with a different outlook. guest89:Hi Gopinath, this is Madhu here, will you be taking up the topic of Global warming in any Neeya Naana episode? gopinath:Hi Madhu! Ya we are planning one and searching the right experts. guest42:Don't you think sometimes the topics chosen are too sensitive... It offends certain sections of the society... What are your views? gopinath:Ya I do agree some of the topics are really sensitive.... But we believe that we can and handle the topics in a much matured way. The idea is not to bring problems but to bring solutions. guest51:Hi Gopinath...

It is more relevant if we discuss the topic in a foreign land... We have made plans for the same. guest89:Have you ever thought of starting a blog... And writing about your experiences on the show and the topics discussed. It will surely be a worthwhile venture. gopinath:True! I am planning to come up with a book that has all my interview experiences beginning with a layman to the President of India. Blog... Let me plan...
