LALLANTOP

There are journalists and then there are journalists. And then there is this new breed of "TV anchors". They resemble ferocious creatures who are trained to gnarl and bark.

Everybody has their favourites. The bhakts love belligerent, pro-government, often cacophonical anchors. The anti-bhakts adore the Ravish Kumars. The Rajdeep Sardesais fall somewhere in between.

In this ugly dogfight, I discovered a social media channel and an editor with a difference. Lallantop and Saurabh Dwivedi respectively. I hope folks will take time out to evaluate both. Check out their YouTube videos.

I see the makings of a Larry King and a Kamleshwar in this young man. Unbiased, incisive, patient yet resolute. With a focused team of researchers.

I pray I may be proven right.

ARTIFICIAL INGESTION

Man answers the phone:

"Hello who is this? "

"This is Google Pizza. Our neural network realized you were hungry and craving for pepperoni pizza. So it ordered and  ate 6 slices on your behalf. We debited your account with $7.25."

"Thank you very much. I was wondering why I was feeling full".

"In exactly 26 minutes 18 seconds you will get the urge to crap. Please make sure you are close to a toilet."

"Can't your neural network instruct your digestive network to lay a loaf on my behalf?"

"Sir our digestive network is yet undergoing supervised learning for your city. We should be able to provide that service by next year. For now we have debited your account only for the eating service. Anything else we can help you with at this time?"

"No thank you. That's all....burrrrrp!!!".
