Writing satire is challenging. Not only does it have room for being offensive to some people, but there are people who take time to understand the true intention and methods of satire. Please read our disclaimer.

We might be just another news satire website, but we wanted to be “first-of-its-kind” in something. So we say that we are the first-of-our-kind students’ humour network in India, since NTMN is run, managed, written, read and enjoyed mostly by college-going people who seldom study. The trend has recently caught on several people from the student community and inspired them to write satire and create a growing herd of websites who use this style. NTMN’s style of catchy satirical humour has been proudly serving as a voice for young writers and satirists. NTMN was the first satire site to feature Hindi posts.

If you thought NTMN wastes your time, brings a smile on your face, gets the writers some fame and money, saves the authors some free time, etc., you must also understand that we intend constructive social criticism coated with humour. In case you don’t get our humour and you loathe our satire, maybe we are not meant for you.

An NTMNer (pronounced en-tee-em-ner) is a marginalised section of society, best known for working for this site. NTMNers have been previously accused of being insensitive, in the need of girlfriends and a life, among lots of other accusations. You can also become an NTMNer. If you can get hilariously sarcastic or satirically hilarious, get noticed, get famous through NTMN.

On our first birthday, we attempted to solve few misunderstandings people commonly have about us. Click here to read.
