Being active on twitter off late has given a tremendous
exposure to political thinking, analysis & strengthened my *right*-winged
ideology. I was always a proud Sanathan Dharmic but twitter is a whole new
universe in itself. And a powerful one at that. There is so much to learn and share.
So.. Everyone has their own “tweet-stories” – either of why/how
they got onto twitter or some successful “work” done there. I too have a few fav ones. Sharing 1-2 here:
Though I had a twitter account since long, I got active only
around aug’11.. It
was that time of the year when Anna Hazare had started his 2nd round
of fast – to demand for implementation of anti-corruption law “JanLokpal”.
National fervour was at its height & there was this “Inquilab Zindabad” charged atmosphere in the length & breath of the country. I got a chance to witness (modern & mellowed down version) of the azadi fight which my grandparents were part. Gurudev had long foreseen the power of social media.

The real scoop was in Nov: when the anchor “S”(wife of the
editor-in-chief & a “journo” at that English news channel) did a fake
interview with HH Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji during His UP tour. That unleashed a
never-before seen potential in me: to *intellectually* corner a “celebrity”, to
motivate the “neutralists” to see thro the facade & finally, to fearlessly take on the powers(we all know who is behind such hit-jobs done by main-stream
media). And man! Did I love it!
We coined the term “#C**I**Lies” and trended it the whole
day. It had a massive impact on the channel & they immediately issued apologies. And “S” even flew down to meet Gurudev & apologize! Now, Gurudev
being the supremely compassionate & the lovable Master, forgave her. And she
went back happily & blocked all of us (on twitter)! Ha ha ha. But who
cares! It was a promotion for me!
This incident had further implications in my world, which won’t be
discussed here :D
So nowadays am busy getting people on to twitter. Am appalled at how the aam admi & his values are being systematically destroyed by the
rulers. There are some exceptionally talented & intellectually advanced
tweeple who bring out the truth with facts & figures. I see hope for our
nation.
Off late a story has been cooking in the mind, screenplay included. Don’t think I’ll ever make a movie but if I find someone
who can understand the sensitivity & poignancy of the subject and my story,
I’d love to share it. But then its kind of ahead of times. Are we a “modern”
enough society ?
In the glory of my divine JagadGuru, who's love moves the world.
