If you love brandishing your opinions, think you are always right, consider the world too foolish to comprehend your intellect and have ample time to waste, Twitter is the ideal platform for you to script your success story. If you are a bored professional, struggling blogger, wannabe Chetan Bhagat, you get yet another excuse to get distracted and blame it all on Twitter.
All you have to do is compress your anger, poor-me stories, this-country-sucks and my-ex-is-a-bitch histrionics into 140 characters and have complete strangers express their opinion about your non-happening life. That’s what social media sites are all about – ignoring your friends and family for adulation from McSteamy, HotDawg and NautankiSali!
Success comes only to the desperate and passionate and who knows it better than me?

Before I go on to the link - I am all of the above but constitutionally incapable of being brief :) That is the only thing that keeps me from joining the joyous hordes on Twitter :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a challenge to compress your thoughts in just 140 characters. But once you get used to it, you will get addicted to Twitter.
DeleteDefined almost everybody on twitter :-)
ReplyDeleteHaving weird names is seriously a trend there! And abusing in your tweets, puts you right in the spotlight.
In the quest of being different and weird, everybody turn out to be exactly the same. Prefer the blogs to twitter/fb anyday!
Hilarious account Purba!
"In the quest of being different and weird, everybody turn out to be exactly the same" beautifully put, Jenny!
DeleteFor some reasons i don't like twitter...i feel as if i'm schizophrenic patient talking to myself while on twitter ( maybe coz i don't have many followers there, lol ).....i don't understand how some people have made lakhs of tweets
ReplyDeleteHahahaha...it does feel like you are talking to yourself!
Delete"Only the foolish, the boring and people with little or no imagination stick to their own name" - You still flaunt your own name ! you are definitely not boring with little imagination :))
ReplyDeleteYou haven't told how to get followers !
Advice is what you give to others :D
DeleteTwitter needs a lot of wit and punch.... plus imagination and is a tailor made platform for likes of you Purba:)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! but there's space for everyone out there :-)
DeleteGreat tips, Purba! So many times i have thought of creating an anonymous account :-|
ReplyDeleteThe lure of an anonymous account is too tempting! Go for it, Giribala.
DeleteHehhee...I registered on Twitter but was largely inactive and it started making sense towards the end of last year. You've put it so beautifully. Don't u thk that 140-words is a bit too less? Btw, love ur tweets
ReplyDeleteVishal
I took over a year to get used to Twitter but once I did, there was no looking back.
DeleteCan you imagine if our Gods got access to Twitter? They would make our lives miserable with their constant gyan, sarcasm and admonition!
ReplyDeleteOh wait...
I believe God is on Twitter and all he can express is disgust at the state of things. In fact, he's the biggest ranter on Twitter.
DeleteHaha, ironically, this comes a day after I deleted my long dormant Twitter account. Guess I wasn't cut out for only 140 characters.
ReplyDeleteAnd classic-PurbaRay-post, this. I read it in the office and had to explain to my TL why I was snorting with laughter post-lunch :P
Hahahahaha....delighted that you enjoyed!
DeleteNice post ji! Twitter just makes us more focused on being pretentious :D
ReplyDeleteYes, we all pretend to be unique.
DeleteI am going to Ditto Nandinispeaks ... It feels so weird there :o
ReplyDeleteIt takes time to get used to it.
Deleteyou got every damn fact right..bravo!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked.
DeleteThere is absolutely no dearth of entertainment when you have twitter on your fingertips.If I lack a funny bone or two,it doesn't matter..twitter hai na! I was grinning ear to ear as I could spot a few tweeples in this post.
ReplyDeleteTwitter is the woh in our life :p
DeleteI know this might come as a little strange but somehow twitter bug has not yet bitten me....still I couldnt resist clicking on the links and thinking is it high time to jump on the wagon and vent my ex-is-a-dog feeling out there or stick to my old limitless blog...:)
ReplyDeleteHahahah...On Twitter you are not expected to behave and be likeable. That's where I get to unleash my inner devil.
DeleteI am addicted.
ReplyDeleteIf it was n ot for 140,I would just go on and on
So am I! This is where I get inspiration for my writing.
DeleteHahaha :) :) Recently a friend asked what twitter s all about...being new to the 140 world I cudn't satisfy his qs....fwdn ur post link!!
ReplyDeleteHe might get a shock of his life if he reads this :-)
DeleteI'm addicted to Twitter... I'm posting all the time - up to 100 times a day about music :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing maam!
ReplyDeleteYou are bang on..:D :D

I always wondered how to get a fan following on Twitter. But frankly who cares about unknowns and their opinions?
