Love over talkback
In between blogs on Smriti Irani's sudden ouster and depressed investor sentiment, NDTV's blog site gives us an unexpected piece of whimsy. In a blog that has gone viral, the channel's Mumbai correspondent reveals how he fell in love and married the network's output editor based in Delhi over 'talkback'. Talkback, for the uninitiated is the earpiece through which the news desk coordinates with a reporter in the field. Apparently, it took just one talkback from Shivangi to convince Surabh Gupta that he had found his soul mate. Six months after the first conversation, the couple married, not needing the mediation of an earpiece any longer. Sometimes the course of true love does run smooth.
