  • Desis have an attitude problem; the way they treat people in malls, restaurants other firangis behind counters here is pathetic! #
  • If not for the boring first 1/3rd, the rest after Chanda comes in, Dev D is a really good movie. Chanda’s character was the best thought off #
  • Must say, the second half of Dev D was exceptionally good. Contrary to others, I loved entire Chanda’s episode, and was bored by Paro. #
  • Oops turns out I was not even near interval and I thought I was half done with Dev D. Oh dear, I need a break. #
  • Half way through Dev D, still dont get hullaballo about it being the new ‘India” and todays “Women”. So far I’ve been umm bored! #
  • @patrix I think Dev D is the best soundtrack of the year; Its different and refreshing, might take time to get used to though. in reply to patrix #
  • Bank of America- Why the F do you keep blocking my check card for “unusual activity”. The only thing unusual is you doing it too many times! #
  • @patrix Actually she does tweet herself. That she’s pretty much told us herself; her tweets make me fee she spends most of time tweetering! in reply to patrix #
  • Not to mention 100 tweets a day is a bit too much for a person supposed to be very busy at the top! #
  • Finally Unfollowed my CTO. She is un-interesting, and her tweets are usually always boring or an ad about my company. #
  • How in the world are we spending 10K crores on our elections? It simply baffles me! #
