For my Hindi speaking friends. This is so funny. For my non Hindi speaking friends I have painstakingly translated, but I fear the humor might be lost in translation. Still, its funny. Here goes: Hello Hey Jitu Hi Dad. Namaste Were you sleeping? No I was doing my yoga. Tell me. Ok Jitu, tell me one thing. What is this Twitter? What? What is this Twitter? You know I keep hearing it on the news channels. They keep saying send it to twitter. Twitter this, Twitter that. Ah Twitter. Oh nothing. Its a website. Remember I showed you how to send an email? Yes Its just like that. You can write anything you want and share it with people. They will see it on their own. Only it has a limit of 140 characters 140? Thats it? What if I want to write more? You cant write more. Youre only allowed 140 What? How can that be? You work in Google. Go talk to them. Theyll listen to their staff. How can I do that? Twitter has their rules Thats crazy. Well if I want to write something Ill write it via e mail. Why would I write it on Twitter? Hmmm, Twitter is the in thing these days. You can write a lot in fewer words. What shall I write? What should you write? What do you mean? Whatever you like. Should I compose a poem on Freedom? Papa, write some general stuff. Where you want, what you ate, who you met...stuff like that Whos going to read that? Arrey papa, everyone will read it. Whoever is on Twitter. Where I went, who I met??? What will they get out of reading that? THATS WHAT PEOPLE DO!!! Then if you dont want to write anything you can share pictures too. Lets say you went out to eat. You can take a picture of your food and share it. Wont the food get cold? OH GOD PAPA. PEOPLE DO THIS. Ok, lets imagine Im on Twitter. And you went to the temple to pray. Then you can tweet....ummmm..post I went to the temple today. And then Ill know about it. (Laughs)....ha ha ha you know I go to the temple on Thursdays Papa I know. But how will the others know? Why do others have to know if I go to the temple or not on Thursdays? Ok then dont. Dont write anything on twitter. Then whats the use of twitter? Use? Well ok. What if there was something you wanted to tell a lot of people. Like for example, Nehu just got engaged. So now you can write that on Twitter. Write it on Twitter? So then I dont need to call anyone and tell them? No that wont be necessary. All your friends/relatives on Twitter will read about it. What? Im, going to throw shoes at you!!! Ill be disgraced in society, my nose will be cut off. People will say that to save himself 50 paise Mr Bhatia didnt even to bother calling us to let us know about his daughters wedding. Nonsense this Twitter thing! Its not nonsense. There are big politicians on Twitter.Celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan. (actors) Really? Is Waheeda Rehman on it (popular hey days actress, probably in her 80s now)? Um..probably not. What about Jaya Bhaduri? (another actress, same age approx) Amitabh Bachhan is there from the old timers. Ah ha. What do they do on Twitter? What else? What they ate, who they met, what meeting they had. They share it. Acting? Dont they act? HOW CAN THEY ACT ON TWITTER? THEY ACT IN FILMS. I want to see Amitabh Bachhan acting. What he ate, who he met...what the hell do I need to know that for? If you want to see him act, then go see his films. Or online on YouTube. Ah I see. What is YouTube?
