Hafta 93: Get Demonetisation Hacks from Chetan Bhagat

It's a very special episode of the Hafta because for the first time, we turned on both microphones and camera this week when novelist Chetan Bhagat joined us in the Newslaundry office. (If you missed yesterday's Facebook Live with Hafta, you can watch it here: https://www.facebook.com/newslaundry/videos/1152934954796459/) Lest you think video killed the podcast star, never fear, there's a lot more than 37 minutes to this week's edition of Hafta. Listen up as Bhagat joins Madhu Trehan, Abhinandan Sekhri, Deepanjana Pal, Manisha Pande, Anand Ranganathan, as they tackle an eventful week. And given Bhagat began his life as a banker -- with Goldman Sachs, no less -- the much-loved novelist was actually the perfect person to discuss demonetisation with. He's even got some hacks for those of you wondering what to do with your old Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes. (Spare a thought for poor Ranga Uncle, who did the rounds of seven banks and was left with one Rs 100.) And for entertainment in these otherwise grim times, Manohar Parrikar has suffered another attack of foot-in-mouth disease. Also, there's the NDTV India and, of course, the man of the moment: America's President elect, Donald J Trump. Listen up for jokes, insight and of course, the song at the end.For references visit:https://www.newslaundry.com/2016/11/13/hafta-93-get-demonetisation-hacks-from-chetan-bhagat
