After digital snan in Prayagraj, this restaurant in Delhi is offering digital momo services

Hindustan Times2 days ago

In the ever-evolving world of culinary creativity, a Delhi-based food outlet has taken a humorous leap into the digital realm — and no, we're not talking about deliveries, online payments, or even automated orders. This next-gen sci-fi level futuresque service is the quirky Digital Momo Service!
Think serious food cravings and unserious eatery owners (or marketing execs)! This bold new step into the future came into the limelight — and foodies' radar — after Game Of Momos & Tikkas, a popular spot in Bali Nagar (West Delhi), shared a video of their employees talking all about this new service.
The video comes with a cheeky caption: "Ye job leke dikhaye AI"
It starts with the employee saying, 'Hi guys, hum digital momos service provide karte hain. Jaise ki aapke gym trainer aapko junk food khaane ke liye mana karte honge, ya ghar mein gharwale mana karte hain. But aapki cravings momos ke liye irresistible hain toh aap humein apni photo bhej dijiye, aur hum aapko momo digitally khila denge. (Hi guys, we are providing digital momo service. In case your gym trainer or family members ask you to avoid junk food, but you can't control your cravings, just send us your photo, and we'll feed you momos digitally.)"

That's not all! He has the tea and the receipts! Sharing the example of a man who wanted to eat steamed and Aghjani momos, our friend holds up his photo and says, "Inhone (pointing to the picture of a man he was holding) humein ek steam momo aur Afghani momo khilane ki request ki thi, ye lo hum inhe khila rahe hain. (This person had requested us to feed him steamed and Afghani momo digitally, and here we are doing it.)"
The concept is delightfully simple yet inventive. All you have to do is send in your photo. In return, you get a video of being "fed" an assortment of momos. This is especially aimed at those on strict diets or have been advised to steer clear of the delicious dumplings.
Naturally, social media users had a lot to say, with requests ranging from tandoori momos to fried momos, and some sassy users offering their friends, "aaj raat ki party meri taraf se"!
One user wrote, 'Peak Indian jugaad. I love it.' Another chimed in, 'Sending my passport photo now. do you do digital chaap too?'
"Bhai 2 plate paneer steam lgao , photo bhj rha hu," ordered one. Even as one enquired, "How much does the monthly subscription cost?"
This bizarre but hilarious trend isn't new. Flashback to the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh), where journalist-turned-entrepreneur Deepak Goel's 'digital snan' service went viral. For ₹1,100, people could send their photos via WhatsApp, which were then dipped into the holy Sangam to symbolically purify their souls.

Kannada Sahitya Parishat seeks to join petition against Kamal film release

Bengaluru: The Kannada Sahitya Parishat (KSP), has filed an impleading application before the high court in connection with a petition filed by Chennai-based Raajkamal Films International, producer of the Kamal Haasan-starrer 'Thug Life'. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Opposing the plea for police protection sought by the production house for the film's release in Karnataka, KSP, through its president Mahesh Joshi, argued that the Constitution does not grant absolute protection to speech, especially when it is likely to disturb public harmony or hurt the dignity of a language and its people. Referring to Kamal's controversial remark that Kannada originated from Tamil, KSP called it an intentional or reckless statement that undermines the status of Kannada. The apex body for Kannada literature also stated that the actor has not issued a formal apology or made any sincere attempt to clarify his stand. In its filing, KSP contended that police resources should not be used to protect commercial interests. It added that public protests, boycott calls, or expressions of anger over the film are all part of democratic expression, and do not automatically amount to unlawful threats that merit state protection. "The very Constitution the petitioner invokes to seek protection also allows peaceful dissent and criticism. To oppose a film is not to endanger law and order," KSP said. On June 3, the court adjourned the hearing after the filmmakers assured that 'Thug Life' would not be released in Karnataka until a dialogue is held with the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC). The matter is now posted to June 13 for further hearing.

Did you know Tabu REJECTED Hema Malini's role in Baghban opposite Amitabh Bachchan as she didn't want to play mother of four kids at the age of 36?

Baghban is a cherished film in many Indian middle-class homes, praised for its emotional story and strong performances by and . But not many know that Hema almost rejected the role. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In an old interview with Lehren Retro, she revealed that when director Ravi Chopra came to narrate the script at her home, her mother was also present — and that moment made her hesitant to say yes. Hema Malini once shared that she was unsure about doing Baghban when Ravi Chopra offered her the role of a mother to four grown-up sons. She found it hard to imagine herself in that part. But her mother, who was present during the narration, insisted she take it up, saying the story was strong and the role would suit her well. Though Hema had doubts, especially after being away from films for a while, her mother's encouragement convinced her to say yes. Interestingly, the Sholay actress wasn't the only actor who had to be convinced to do Baghban. The role of Pooja Malhotra was first offered to Tabu. Although she liked the script, she turned it down, unwilling to play the mother of four children at just 36. She later starred opposite Amitabh Bachchan in Cheeni Kum. Even Big B wasn't the original choice—director Ravi Chopra had initially approached veteran actor , who declined the role.
