Now if you are well acquainted with the whole so called Twitter mechanism, I would like to introduce to you the best of Twitter that I have come across so far(and no not Kejriwal and Beiber please!). They are great with their tweets and you definitely should follow them. Even when you have nothing to tweet, your timeline has their tweets and you can just scroll down away in bliss, laughing, giggling and smiling or coming up with thoughts like “so true”. I picked these few people because well they and their tweets are my favourites. Let’s look at what they have to say about Twitter.
- @kitAnurag
“Anurag Verma, New Delhi. Working at an IT company. Joined Twitter to tweet(why else would anyone sign up?)”
His bio was one of the interesting ones apart from his tweets that made me click the follow button.
Classic tweet: “Daughter: DAD! What's on my neck?
Gulzar: Hasti rahe tu hasti rahe, haya ki laali khilti rahe, zulf ke neeche gardan pe keeda hai beta.”
- @LiteraryBadass
“My name is Mokshda Manchanda, born and brought up in Delhi. Twitter, because it helps me chill, a respite from an otherwise boring life.”
Do not ask me why I followed her, because you really need to go to her timeline and read her tweets to understand that. Recently while I was all upset about India losing the T20 world cup, her series of tweets just did not stop me from smiling with the #indvssl.
Classic tweet: “Indian Roads have all sorts of holes. Potholes, Mudholes, and most importantly, Assholes.”
- @SatanKiNani
“Queen of lotions and solutions, Damsel in distress control, Undomestic goddess, Shopaholic extraordinaire. Physician and Mumbaichi mulgi. Twitter because found it challenging to express with a 140 character limit and it suited my organised randomness.”
Well she is the coolest doctor who tweets simultaneously while treating her patients, keeps the confidentiality obviously. She is spectacular with words on Twitter and sarcasm is her middle name.
Classic tweet: ”Slow claps for people who don’t bat an eyelid to buy tickets for crap movies for 250 per head n popcorn for 200 but want a doctor for free.”
- @AttentionMagnet
“So. I am Neha Sharma. I am a virtual sex bomb and a real life behenji who has probably lost her funny bone. Most of the times I am trying too hard to make sense. Twitter gives me the freedom to not succeed in that. Other than that I am perpetual cribber, attention seeker, enthusiastic shopper, a prospective chartered accountant and a quirky doodler. I joined Twitter only as a platform to publicise my blog but soon I was extremely addicted to Twitter whereas I quit blogging soon after.”
Classic tweet: Hey. I just met you. And this is crazy. But here's my money. So lets get married and have sex maybe.
- Arranged Marriages
- @MumbaiFreak
“I claim coding to be my favorite passtime.Turning cakes into cookies is my superpower. I probably am a nice person.”
She was one of the first tweep I ever got acquainted to. Reason, her tweets just crack me up and I end up having a great time on Twitter with her.
Classic tweet: “The only A I get in my college life is in the attendance sheet.”
- @The_Lie_Lama
“I'm on Twitter Coz I can't share my thoughts without the fear of being judged anywhere else, mainly because of anonymity. Working in Hyderabad as a government employee and also married, and still got time to tweet.”
He made his point clear i am guessing. For the rest, he got some real deep things to say.
Classic tweet:
"Which is your best tweet?"
"What is a 'best tweet'? Tweets are like children. You love them all, equally. Even if some of them embarrass u"
- @meghalomaniac
“Twitter is where I put the thousand little voices in my head, in words. It is an escape. Even an addiction, if you call it that ways.”
She was one of those “we think alike so let’s follow each other” acquaintances. She points it right when she has to.
Classic tweet: “Rating her, is degrading her.”
- @poonamkhatri
“I'm as imaginative as Madhur Bhandarkar when it comes to naming things. From Gujarat, the state is as developed as they say, or it was, until I signed up for twitter. Now I can't make up my mind for I'm not sure siding which way would fetch me more retweets. Working for Twitter Inc. Pro bono."
Twitter; because when you're sad, you can share your problems with a bunch of strangers on the Internet who're yawning away to them on the other side, because it's important to show how anti-social you are to a crowd of a few thousand followers on a social networking site, because we all need a virtual diary to record our daily routine, because the fact that the paint on my pinky toenail chipped off is important to my followers, and finally, because it's essential to make a difference in the society by doing nothing.”
I have nothing else to add on to this. She was very well self explanatory.
Classic Tweet: “Girls are given teddy bears to psychologically train them to like their short, fat and hairy husbands in future”
--Cheers.
