My name is Bhakt Banerjee, a renowned name among the IT cell members and professor at the prestigious Whatsapp university. Today, I’ve got my hands on a very esteemed journalist, or so the world claims….he is Ravish Kumar of NDTV.
Ravish: Ask me some tough questions please…Like how I eat a mango?
BB: Certainly, sir…You’re not gonna get away now!
Ravish: Go on then.
BB: How many hours do you sleep in a day?
Ravish: As many a healthy man should.
BB: Well, if you loved the country, you wouldn’t!
Ravish laughs..
BB: Stop it you…More difficult questions coming.
Ravish: Bring it on!
What does Ravish think about…
BB: Anti-national?
Ravish: Just bogus terminology invented to distract public.
BB: Prime time news?
Ravish: People should stop watching them already!
BB: Article 370?
Ravish: Another distraction.
BB: Isn’t it a masterstroke?
Ravish: Nope!
BB: Rahul Gandhi?
Ravish: He’s sort of retired, I think.
BB: Whatsapp university?
Ravish: The leading institution of our country…where facts are not facts!
BB: EVM?
Ravish: Ah, the governing body should be held responsible if there’s any tampering with them.
BB: Nehruuu??
Ravish: The good…the bad…but not ugly.
BB: RTI?
Ravish: It’s practically dead.
BB: Government?
Ravish: It’s supposed to understand and find solutions to our problems…Not to run a machinery so to frighten us…you know what I mean?
BB: Are you scared now?
Ravish: Never…although they’re trying their level best.
BB: Constitution?
Ravish: The first and last book of our identity.
BB: Asking questions?
Ravish: Need of the hour.
BB: Narendra Modi?
Ravish: Current PM.
BB: Ah, careful much, I see?
Ravish poker faced.
BB: Fear?
Ravish: Not.
BB: Religion?
Ravish: Many people are born into it and die by it…it’s a matter of faith.
BB: Cow vigilantes?
Ravish: These people are scary as hell…Let this be clear…They don’t protect cows.
BB: Khan market gang?
Ravish: Nonsense.
BB: Vikas?
Ravish: 70% bogus.
BB: So you’re saying 30% Vikas has been accomplished?
Ravish: But 70% bogus.
BB: Independent media?
Ravish: Where’s it?
BB: Demonetisation?
Ravish: Another bogus idea.
BB: Economic crisis?
Ravish: A harsh reality.
BB: Statue of unity?
Ravish: If Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel looked at it, he wouldn’t have been pleased.
BB: Arvind Kejriwal?
Ravish: Delhi CM.
BB: So, you’re not gonna reveal much, is that it?
Ravish: What more do you want to know?
BB:Well, then, congress party?
Ravish: In a bad shape these days.
BB: Paid news?
Ravish: Another harsh reality…Paid through money, power and special access. These guys screaming on sets at the top of their voice…all sold out.
BB: Fascism?
Ravish: I don’t wish to understand the modern-day crises with bygone terms…You know what’s happening now is brand new…unseen and unimaginable in a democracy.
BB: Have you lost hope?
Ravish: Never…Stating the truth is not similar to being hopeless. I am full of hope for our nation.
BB: Good to know!
Ravish smiles.
BB: It was a pleasure meeting you…See you on Twitter.
