@ShashiTharoor NZ has considered these phrases unparliamentary and banned their use. Can you suggest some you’d use in India ?

@DalrympleWill In Anarchy, noticed you defined Chhatrapati as Lord of the Umbrella.
Chhatrapati is a Sanskrit word meaning “Emperor” or “King”

@DalrympleWill A cousin of mine recommended @EmpirePodUK podcasts - absolutely thrilled to see a historian’s account of India’s recent history. Done with 20 episodes and loving it. Torn between whether I should get your book or continue with the podcasts :(

@hvgoenka We’re making fun of this, because he’s from Pakistan. But why should the subcontinent players be expected to respond in English. Why can’t we have translators responding to them!

Watching Insideout2 at Lower Parel IMAX @_PVRCinemas @PicturesPVR . The 6.20pm show entry started at 6.30pm and they started even thought we were the third person in line. Why do we have to miss the start after paying big bucks !

@IndiaPostOffice - not your fault, but some fraudsters have copied your pages. #SMSFraud

Btw, Kangana Ranaut is the first person to contest an election on a BJP symbol, and get a Congress symbol after winning.

@vijaygajera Are you trying to imply India was doing very well in the years preceding 1991 ?

All #KungFuPanda fans, how many characters knew the use of Wuxi finger hold ? Masters Wuxi, Oogway, Shifu and Po definitely - did Tai Lung know it ? @Dreamworks @ShanbhagShruti
Tai Lung like Kai in the third part, knew about the hold but not how to use it.
Views ?

@Tata_Crucible team, I had participated in the prelims and thought I couldn’t qualify, I had registered for attending as an audience around 2 weeks back. I haven’t still got a confirmation for the same. #TataCrucibleFinals

The convo in btwn where @sarfarazkhan is asking @ybj_19 to be calm & not run first, was so heartening to hear. The celebrations that followed weren’t one off - leaked convo showed the camaraderie these players have. @bhogleharsha any more instances you’ve heard from your box ?

[Mohd Sarfaraz Nawaz @sarfarazkhan]

@livemint Why does the IT allow us to save tax on LTCG by having the LTCG from sale of property OFFSET against buying of a new property, but not against paying off mortgage of an existing property ? #LTCG #incometaxqueries

@CareDominos Delivery personnel is still 15minutes away. Calls after 1 hour 15 mins and 1 tweet later ! Coincidence ?

@MORTHIndia @nitin_gadkari ji, please have a look at the advertisements - 6 landing of roads but both trucks driving on the same side of the road. @timesofindia

@rajbhagatt love your work. Really happy for you getting to work on a movie project with Mani Ratnam sir!. Respect for him just went up another notch knowing that he put in such great attention to detail.
One request - possible to overlay this on present day map in English ?

#Thread on Ponniyin Selvan #Maps
Last year, I had the opportunity to work as map consultant in director Maniratnam's magnum opus, #PonniyinSelvan movie. Though seen only in bg, there was a lot of professional effort put into maps which must be the 1st in Indian film industry 1/n

[Prashant Shanbhag @Saapdya]

@dominos_india 30mins delivery guarantee and not delivered at even 50mins. Helpline says it is being baked. Store contact isn't working.

@Apple still hasn't provided the invoice on the phone purchased from their online store in US and picked up from their Valley Fair store physically!

[Prashant Shanbhag @Saapdya]

many calls with @AppleSupport later, I've been told to visit the BKC Store of Apple, since they're unable to reach them ! If Apple customer supp can't reach, what chances are for a customer to reach them ! #disappointed #AppleWhiteScreen
