Twitter Storm of the month
Often, a controversial tweet by a well known personality causes a storm in the world of social media. This month, there was one such controversial tweet by well known socialite Shobhaa De. Her tweet criticising the Indian contingent’s performance at the Rio Olympics evoked immediate response. Her tweet and some of the responses are reproduced below:
@DeShobhaa
Goal of Team India at the Olympics: Rio jao. Selfies lo. Khaali haath wapas aao. What a waste of money and opportunity.
Abhinav Bindra @Abhinav_Bindra
@DeShobhaa that’s a tad unfair. You should be proud of your athletes perusing human excellence against the whole world.

Not even worth a selfie. If scaring babies was Olympic sport, @DeShobhaa would strike gold!
