Nicely done.

I’m 12 weeks old on Twitter. I follow people who provide the best content most frequently covering various topics of my interest but mostly related to news and politics in India. I don’t automatically follow back. I don’t mix up real life with my online presence. I do engage in conversations, especially debates over politics, but I don’t treat Twitter like a chat room, like most of the Indian twitterrati.

I just watched the NDTV show. I find myself most in agreement with the views of Samit Basu, Nilanjana Roy and Rahul Roshan.

Just out of curiosity GB, why do you follow Shakti Kapoor? (and isn’t Prabhu ji on Twitter yet? )

Thanks for permitting my comment. My comment wasn’t meant to sound the way it did. Nor was it directed against you.

I felt the 4 article links were too explosive, figuratively speaking. So, I wanted my last line to read: “Too many links or too much truth for the Indian peepul to digest?”. But thanks to Murphy’s Freaking Laws, I accidentally left out these four key words “for the Indian peepul” while cutting/rearranging the text before pressing the Submit button.

As far as using various monikers/names go, cheeky moi figured if Edvige Antonia Albina Maino can get away with it so successfully, then why not moi?

Speaking of IP addresses, what do you think of this one?

Torino,

Akismet killed it because of too many links. And for someone peddling so much truth, do try to comment under a single moniker instead of the many you use. Being so concerned about the truth, thats the least you can do. So many monikers….all one IP address….

@gb

why did my comment disappear? Too many links or too much truth to digest?

Re:- "they are the ones who use Sonia Gandhi’s maiden name and Arundhati Roy’s middle name when they refer to them" @GB, Suzanna happens to be Arundhati Roy's first name, not middle name. Here are four reasons why using Sonia Gandhi's maiden name is not the main issue. The issue is whether Indians know the real story of the person who controls India. “Do You Know Your Sonia?” by Dr.Subramanian Swamy “Know your Sonia – Part 2” by the late Arvind Ghosh “Unmasking Sonia Gandhi” by S. Gurumurthy “Where was Sonia when India was at war? And after Mrs Gandhi lost in 1977?” By Kanchan Gupta

Arnab_da , as usual you are very able and very ruthless when you want to make a point. “assorted life forms” is that big round cherry on the dessert.

I follow most of the Olympian Gods you have mentioned here for the sake of following.But the tweets which I seriously follow are those of cricket experts like prempanicker and bhogleharsha.Most of the cricketers are also there in my following list.
