SIMPLIFYING 'TWITTER' FOR YOU..... MY READERS



''What is this 'twitting'? Too much 'twitting' will lead to quitting'' was Rajya Sabha MP Venkaiah Naidu's rhyming remark for our 'Twitter Minister' Shashi Tharoor, whose tweets are often picked upon to create a controversy. However, the message told in a serious tone, caused more laughs than to serve the purpose of wanting to probe the minister's tweeting activity.

The MP could have well avoided this awkward situation if only he knew how to make his point using an apt Twitter term. We simplify some oft-used Twitter terminologies for you, with examples:

Tweeple: Twitter people, Twitter
FOR EXAMPLE-Pleasantly surpised seeing IPL and KKR as globally trending topics on twitter. Looks like Indian Tweeple are assuming global proportions

Tweeter/Twitterer: A Twitter user
FOR EXAMPLE: One of my followers is an Indian Recipes Tweeter. I get why I might follow the recipes (sure, why not?) but why would the recipes follow me?

Tweetheart: A special tweeter who makes your heart skip a beat

FOR EXAMPLE: Having sweet chit chat wif my tweetheart! Hooooooh... What a beautiful morning!

Twitterati: Top-tier Twitterers

FOR EXAMPLE: Hia Twitterati - any of you guys own a campervan? Seriously considering one instead of a car. Advice, prices, pros and cons welcome!

Tweetup: A Twitter meet-up in person
FOR EXAMPLE : @ Bangalore airport, en route Delhi. Tight two-day schedule, so no tweetup possibility this time round.

Co-twitterer: A partner who tweets on your Twitter account

FOR EXAMPLE: Stressing for my co-twitterer @at0me... She has to finish her thesis for tomorrow. :-/

Tweet-dropping: Eavesdropping on Twitter

FOR EXAMPLE: @DoctorOHM 10 piercings? Ouch. (Tweet dropping, lol)

Twaiting: Twittering while waiting

FOR EXAMPLE: @sgBEAT:twaiting for NR7 at the bus stop outside TANGS. Lol. It's quite a wait.

Tweeps: Short for Tweeple (Duh.)

FOR EXAMPLE: Help me tweeps! I need 9 more followers! Just 9 more! Thanks & I'll give my new followers a shoutout & I'll follow them back (no random ppl)

Mistweet: A tweet mistake, which one may regret later

FOR EXAMPLE: Of course the problems with a couple of accounts is keeping up with potentially 2 lists of friends. And the chance of a mistweet.

Tweetaholic: A problem of Twitter addiction

FOR EXAMPLE: @cubicile_blues Do you work 24x7 by any chance?? :) you seem like workaholic + tweetaholic :D

Now if only we'd collated this before Naidu made his now infamous comment, he would have probably said - ''Being a tweetaholic and a minister, it's time you avoided the odd mistweet.'' Or is that wishful thinking?

And oh, there are lots more-twittastic (Twitter fantastic), twugs (Twitter hugs), twuddies (Twitter buddies) to mention a few.

KEEP TWEETING...AND SING MY HEART GOES TWEET, TWEET, TWEET

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY 8TH MARCH, 2010 – STILL THE FUTURE IS SHADOWED..

As the sun of Monday, March 08, 2010 rose to brighten the earth, history was written in Los Angeles at 82nd Academy Awards. Kathyren Bigelow, the lady behind the magic of the Hollywood super hit ‘The Hurt Locker’ which swept six Oscars at the Hollywood awards extravaganza, came onto the stage to receive the ‘Best Director’ award, a new leaf was added to not much long history of women empowerment which the world and especially the 3rd world countries have witnessed in the past few decades. The first ever woman to win the Academy Award for the Best Director portrayed the best possible example as a salute to the rising woman power. She won this award facing the toughest competition from her ex-husband James Cameron and the man behind the blockbuster ‘Titanic’ and this year ‘Avatar’.
India too made the presence felt of this internationally vital event and rather the much needed day for a male dominated society like India as Air India gave the command of all its major flights to the woman pilots proving against all the present odds we still have come a long way.
The question which really quests a mind to find a hardcore answer is that why, why when we talk of women empowerment in our country, our prime focus remains just on the shells lying on the seashore and not the deep hidden millions and millions of shells inside the depth of the sea which may have the brightest pearls inside them?
In the aura of few thousand successful women in India, why those 200 million women are forgotten who still are miles and miles away from the ‘e’ of word education. You might have seen your neighbor’s daughter or a friend as a CEO of MNC but have you ever boggled your mind over more than half woman occupants who work as low-paid agricultural laborers. If this is not enough let me give you another bolt from the blue that in our country 41 per cent of the girls drop out from the schools till they reach the age of 19.
Menaces like crime against women, malnutrition, tapering sex-ratio, and pre and post natal deaths and not to forget female infanticide and feticides are the hard core elements in a so-called fast developing society of ours. A society where still, a normal housewife does not consider it necessary to open a page of a newspaper and have a look at a current issue or two or more than half of them does not even have any access to them.
A country which dreams of becoming a mighty superpower in the coming decade, does it need a hard pinch to open its eyes? Yes it does, because its future is hinging on those 200 million women who still are so far from the mighty world of education. Rising to 63 percent of female literacy from a shameful 8 percent in 1948, what we can conclude is that it is yet so near, but yet so far to call itself not a masculine, not a feminine but a humanitarian country where males and females are not the parameters for leading a just, fruitful and satisfying life.
Although we have covered a long journey but nearly not enough…
HOPING FOR A BETTER WOMEN’S DAY THE NEXT YEAR….when we may have 33 percent of our MPs as women….

class unforgettable !!!!!!

Our PD classes in 3rd semester was a bundle of joy and surprise for us. But in 3rd sem we got something different from our PD TRAINER MRS. SHWETA KOCHHAR. She offered us a class which we really waited for throughout the week...for 2 hours of learning and enjoyment. Till today we remember AGNI, LAKSHYA, ENDEAVOURS AND PILLARS. One thing we really are happy about is that she made us habitual of eating chocolates....:):):) bribe we expect from all our teachers now. Also she made those students act who never thought they can ever act including me. We remember the day when we got a feast for giving out the superb performance in group plays..of course mam gave the treat. We also remember how she inspired the class to paeticipate in FASHION SHOW BY FASION TECH. DEPT and many students in our had a wonderful experience..thanx for giving that opportunity mam.....
NO MATTER WHAT THEY TELL.....gr8 song that mam taught us.....every student who attended your classes till date cherishes them.....wishing for your happiness and infinite success in future....and hoping you will be taking our classes again..
ONCE AGAIN THANKS A LOT FOR SUCH CLASSES....BJMC-4....THEN BJMC-3
