മനു എസ്.പിള്ളയുടെ സാന്നിധ്യം വേറിട്ട അനുഭവമാണ്. Waiting for the next.. correction എഴുതി കാണിച്ചത് ഉചിതമായി. മുഖ്യധാരാ മാധ്യമങ്ങൾ വിവാദ വിഷയങ്ങളിൽ പോലും തിരുത്തൽ വരുത്താൻ മടിക്കുന്ന കാലഘട്ടമാണിത്. ധന്യ വർമയും ടീമും അഭിനന്ദനം അർഹിക്കുന്നു. All the best for future programs.
Got to meet him once at a literature fest @bangalore........such a gem of a person, soft-spoken scholar
Thank you for Bringing Manu S Pillai. Waiting for the next episodes. Please interview Prince Adithya Varma too.
Thanku Dhanya for bringing Manu❤
Such a wonderful episode Dhanya. I have had the good fortune of being an alumni from his father's institute (Late Professer M S Pillai) in Pune. Feels great to see his son scale great heights while living the values his father tried to instill in us. The world needs more people like him. Thank you Dhanya for this brilliant episode.

Some social media channels like this one are doing excellent work where our mainstream channels could have done better. Many gems of personalities are in our society, not coming to the surface mainly because of the overemphasis on cinema and related arts. Dhanya Varma is doing excellent work, and there is much to do. This kind of programme should reach more people, youngsters, parents, and teachers .. Knowledge shouldn't be jailed in the pages of textbooks. We should hear from masters about their thoughts, experiences, and mistakes. This is one of my favourite interview channels because of the quality of questions that motivate the guest to open the train of thoughts so freely that we listeners don't feel disconnected.
Excellent questions with excellent answers,Mind blowing interview ♥️
Thank you Dhanya for this episode

Thankyou mam for bringing this prodigy ❤great episode
A cereberaly stimulating conversation, between Manu S. Pillai and Dhanya, articulated in the most engaging way , a wonderful exchange of questions and answers, resulting in equally rewarding insights into the working of this young historian's mind. I am looking forward to listening to Part 2 of this interview. As for Ms. Dhanya's skills as an interviewer....The best...never does she cut in while the guest is speaking , but allows an easy flow of thoughts without any irritating interruptions . She steers the conversation with envious ease , drawing out the best from her guest. Thank you Ma'am.
Impressed by his grandmother ❤ and her father❤.
Oh no , just felt like got over soon, Can't wait to watch the next episode ! It was really interesting to see his different side 🙌🏽
