After you read this A&A, assume, hypothetically of course, the name of media baron sitting next to our Wizard with Words. And then re-read the answer. And smile. Without any further comment, here’s the January 12 edition of Das ka Dum with Dr Bhaskar Das.

Q: If you were on a two-hour flight with a well-known media baron next to you, what advice you would like to offer her/him?
A: Assuming that wishes were horses, let me try to answer your question in the same elevated spirit.
First, I shall feel hugely privileged to get an exclusive audience with such a persona as her/his wisdom can expand the vistas of my learning. After all, the illustrious Entrepreneur would have built/ expanded a media empire. So once my Learning gets over, I would like to explore the media baron’s readiness for the future world of media which is in a constant state of flux due to technology, consumer behaviour and inter-category reconfiguration of monetisation opportunities.
Post that, I shall say sayonara while leaving the aircraft and get down from my horse and call for a Uber to go back home.
