WeChat was officially launched in India in May 2013. The 'app' developed by Chinese firm Tencent, has already taken South East Asia by storm.
Check out the WeChat channel on Youtube.
IndiBlogger wants us to name five people, whether dead or alive, whether real or fictional, that we would want to converse with in a group chat session on WeChat.
So here's presenting the five people I'd love to converse with on WeChat:-
1) Dr.Funmohan Singh
The man's a genius. Unknown to many, he's also the unassuming Prime Minister of Bharatland. It would be an honour to be able to chat with the man....and the lady behind him ;)
2) Gappi Lahiri
Gold prices might have plunged of late, but at Rs.27,000 per 10 gram it's still a royal indulgence. In such a scenario, it makes sense to be friends with someone who owns half the world's gold. Gappida also copies makes decent music. To top it all, his accent is hillarious cute. I guess his spellings would be at par too.
3) Balman Khan
I absolutely hate the guy. I think it's his arrogance and 'I own you all' attitude that ticks me off. A WeChat conversation would give me a chance to diss him without having to get into a physical confrontation.
4) Singchana Puran Singh
Simply for comic relief.
5) Bugs Bunny
When I was a kid, he was my favourite cartoon character. He's a perpetual trickster who can get away with anything, and always finishes one-up on his foes. His wisecracks are awesome. He's a bad boy that every gentleman secretly wants to be like. He's the only fictional character in this list.
Here's how a group chat with these folks would go:
Me : Hello folks
Funmohan : Jai Madam Di. A very good day to you all.
Gappi : Haylow. Kemonacho?
Balman : Sniff sniff...Nacho...yahaan? How? Hahahahahaha
Singchana : Hahahahahahaha...Mind blowing!!
Bugs : Eh...Whats up doc?
Me : Erm...No...this is WeChat. Really cool app, no?
Funmohan : Oh yes. It allows me to send voice messages. My cabinet members tell me they can finally hear my voice.
Singchana : Hahahahahahaha. So sweet. I wanna take you home.

Gappi : Ekdam barabar FunMohan da. Mijuk.
Me : Oh yes. You can also send files through WeChat.
Funmohan : Really?
Me : Yes Sir. It also supports video calling. It also has the LiveChat feature. Hai na kamaal ka?
Bugs : Munch munch munch...I'm multiplying. See...I'm multiplying. 
Me : Haha. That's an emoticon Wabbit. There are hundreds of em on WeChat :)
Singchana : Minnnndblowwwing. You make me proud.
Balman : What the blackbuck? I thought she was here for comic relief

Bugs : Uh oh. I think you know this means war!
Gappi : Hoodi baba! 
Funmohan : Madamji bless your soul
Singchana : Ohh Gosh! Mind numbing!!
Balman : Pick the damn phone you #@$%
