Get Ready to Get Judged : This Is Twitter



     For better part of my life, I was inactive on twitter. As they say, “Desperate moment’s needs desperate actions” and thus I ended up on twitter. Facebook when compared to twitter is milder in sorts. Yes in all departments. But stuff does happen on facebook as well, but most go unnoticed. Not many celebrities are on FB as on Twitter. And moreover my friends would judge me as a crack headed if I share “What’s on my mind “every minute which is so unlike on Twitter. Everybody here is like me.

      Twitter is different, Every time I logged on I find my TL very vibrant, very debatable, very entertaining. Everyone has his/her foot in somebody’s mouth here. Even the most introverts of introvert would want to speak his/her mind out on twitter. It doesn’t matter if people listen to you or not. But at the end of the day you will feel happy and satisfied that you have spoken what you wanted and not what you had to.
If you have quite a number of followers, believe me even you’ll not be spared. We Indians are basically cynical in our thought. We are a nation of hypocrites. Yes. Go ahead Judge ME!!!!

  If you are reading this and you belong to twitter. You’ll agree.

       I have done and will continue to do my part of judging others on twitter. The Gandhi kid gets bashed every other day (I hope he doesn’t have a fake twitter profile, he would rather die than read the tweets!!). Anna has his fare share of support as well as his retractors (I have been cynical about his whole cleaning India Movement and nothing more to say. And yeah He is neither Mahatma nor Gandhi). Poonam Pandey despite all the sarcasm around her will never understand that she is being bullied and used (Well she is here to be used?? Right).
   
       There are many many twitter profiles/celebrities that get bashed for their one wrong move. The FTN debacle about Sri Sri Interview turning out pre recorded lead to huge cursing of both FTN and Sagarika. In fact she has been apologizing to all on twitter. I don’t know why. Just one wrong move and tweeple were all over maligning CNNIBN, her, FTN. Just one wrong move and all your good deeds vanish. Why should she apologize? Tweeple are here to complain/talk shit and nothing more. The people here will not talk about the good you do, but are always ready to hit the RT when something trends. (And Yes I am a part. So stop judging me and read!! )

        One wrong movie by SRK and he is laughed upon here on twitter, SRK fails so sallu trends, Illogical but happens. Come Diwali and people start about pollutions and bring statistics to validate their tweet. But nobody will talk about the pollution their ACs cars bikes cause all through the year. Come BakariEid , mass killing of animals trends, they ll never think how many chickens they have eaten ( And vegetarians even the leafy vegetables are living things :P so STFU ). Come Christmas, Mass cutting of tree ll trend. Ahhh had enough.
       
      Rahman gives some awesome Rockstar music and tweets spread about his past where he copied tunes. MMS speaks out, he is critiqued, He doesn’t speak, he is still is criticized. Price hike. Rollback. Oh MamtaDi comes to rescue. All hail. Next day. Mamta Who?? Amen!!! .
       
       No matter how much development NaMo does for gujjus , he still has the riots to haunt him..
 
        Mallya’s KF airlines to be bailed out. All bounce to tweet. Does a liquor baron need it? He lavishly spends money. Makes Bikini calendars. Why support him??
But the same people would still wanna watch a thrilling RCB encounter. Spend cash to watch rubber burn on multimillion dollar roads and not mention BEER.


          Well if I go on like this, I can talk about many instances about Oh yes Kiran Bedi , kejriwal , Bhushan , Digvijay , Advani , Aginvesh etc etc .

         In short this is Twitter for you. Do join. Cause its fun. You get to listen to lot of shit and fuckery and this shit carry proof. Not many media houses show you the truth like twitter does. Yes not even the cynical Arnab of TimesNow!!!

        And as a loyal tweeple I managed to talk about the dark side of Twitter. But it does have a good side. You get to meet lots of really nice, friendly people. Socializing improves. 

      Need of job, people here are ready to recommend you (at least I found some really good people), Earthquake or caught up in Mumbai rains or a terrorist attack. People here are ready with news/RT/Help lines/Concerns/open up houses for the needy. Every kind of people is on twitter. When the right time comes. They trend.

PS : When one point fingers on the other, one should not forget 3 point towards him. But this rule doesn’t apply on twitter. So feel free to talk your shit out here. Cause in the outside real world no one s going to hear you. Understand!!
