Indian techies are petitioning Android to name its next version

Laddoo

or

Lassi

. Android Laddoo, anyone? We have more suggestions.

Lapsi:

Dalia, ghee, elaichi to make your phone run faster.

Ledikeni:

A mispronunciation of Lady Canning. Deep-fried balls of semolina, chana, milk, ghee and sugar syrup to oil your machine.

Lauki kheer:

For our health columnist Shikha Sharma.

Lebu sandesh:

Sandesh with a hint of lemon. Its tartness might offer a kick to your OS.

Lavang latika:

Dumplings filled with flour, ghee, rose essence, nuts, cloves and tutti-frutti. A great name if your phone needs to have all that and more!

Locho:

The Gujaratis mix amras and kadhi and go crazy over locho. The rest of the world should follow!

Lyangcha:

Longish gulab jamuns. Will you even live to see the next Android?
