don’t agree with you!! Actually twitter is not a place for writers!! With less fan following!! But popular personalities like SRK, Salman, you, etc. are what twitter is for!! The fans wants to know what you think or do! Btw don’t mind! most of the celebs are not bloggers!! So twitter is a perfect place for them!!

I have a twitter account since a year and I have 2 tweets on it But I do follow some interesting ones like Vir Sanghvi and Shashi Tharoor.. Its more of a group message tool to share amongst a close group of friends..

Check out Buzz though! Its the NEW thing from Google and its built in below the inbox in the gmail inbox! Atleast one doesnt have to visit a different website now to update the world abt what they plan to eat at McD’s!

Sad but why ?
Can’t India stand against it ?

Oscar in 30 Days
Short Film (Live Action)
Kavi
Gregg Helvey
“An Indian boy and his parents are forced to work as slave labor in a brick kiln.”

Why
But WHY
Only this type ???

Does India have nothing else which they want to show, promote ?

Where is the Real India ?

chstrig has written an interesting piece!
it is sickening to read about sharuk khan,amirkhan
padukone etc etc every day in every paper.
three pages are devoted to cinemas.
is newsprint paper meant for celluloid celebrities
and contemptible politicians?
are nothing else happening in our country?
don’t we have other winners and events worth
a note?
we are a hypocritical and sycophantic nation
accepting and invertebrate!

Twitter is a waste of time. Celebrities dominate every form of media in India and that needs to be revised ASAP. Celebrities are detrimental to the proper progress of the nation as our celebrities are NOT always genuine, talented people and are basically a poor version following a vague, imagined, foreign celebrity idol. For example Saif ali khan winning Padma Shri. He had to actually defend winning that award which basically proves that he didn’t deserve it. Deepika Padukone appearing in the song, Mile Sur Mera Tumhara when she hasn’t done anything spectacular in her field. Neither has Priyanka Chopra and the remaining lot, including SRK who admits he isn’t much of an actor. I don’t figure being charismatic requires a significant position in society, but that is the way in India. Aamir Khan winning padma bhusan? For what? What has he done so significantly that it warrants such an award? I can’t think of a single thing.
Point being that Celebrities are dominating just about every aspect of Indian life and these celebrities are not exactly the most deserving people. With their acting prices reaching the skies, their values and the value of things attached to them have been diminished severely. Padma Bhusan, PadmaSri have been affected. Indian morals and standards have been affected. Indian patriotism has been affected.
This is not to say that it is their fault, they have been able to dominate because the media is willing to give them such an opportunity. Without cameras there can be no celebrities. Without celebrities Indian culture will not cease to have any idols to follow. Nor will Indian culture be devoid of all entertainment. The proper positioning of celebrities in Indian culture is what is required.
This is has gone on for far too long. An abrupt end to this is in demand. And by ‘this’ I mean, my half-relevant, possibly entirely irrelevant, response to your post. To summarize rather quickly, tweeter is perhaps the least of our worries at this time, seen from the point of view of how deep celebrities have managed to imprint themselves into Indian culture. Aaj Tak and other phony news channels advertise them throughout the day when they ought to be doing something significant.

Well therez galore of information on the web from a gazillion different sources, you or anyone else for that matter needs to figure out some sort of filtering mechanism based on what kinda information you really are interested in….be it twitter, facebook, orkut or any other random blogs for that matter.

twitter is a platform for loud thinking which is what peopeple choose
lf they have no other way of expressing their views. nobody asks you
to read it.if u choose to read it, u express ur reaction uinhibitedly.
u willalso be judged! be prepared.don’t whine! take the reactions sportingly.
