Shashi Tharoor shares witty Twitter thread filled with ‘naan-violent’ puns. Viral post

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor shared the thread with a beautiful and nostalgic reminiscence of his college days in the caption.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has caught the attention of netizens with a witty Twitter thread. The Thiruvananthapuram MP gave a glimpse of what his college days looked like when he used to engage in a witty repartee with his batchmates in St. Stephen's College, New Delhi. And we must say you will definitely "rice to the occasion" and laud Tharoor's humour. This was exactly what St Stephen’s was like when I was there in the early 1970s! People spent hours in repartee of this nature. But we didn’t have @Twitter to immortalise our bon mots. (On this exchange, as a Southie I would rice to the occasion, provided some-bar wasn’t there.) pic.twitter.com/Z4DknwbN4k . It’s never too lait but for now yeh coffee hain. True for us in the 1980s as well. In fact, even today, if put two Stephanians in a room and they hit it off, they'll start talking like this, leaving everyone else around slightly bemused.@CafeSSC @StStephensClg You must be idli sitting around needing a dosa excitement Haha! 'Awefully good'! The art & sheer brilliance of bon mots lost in the catastrophic 'dumbness of smart phs' & free data!Miranda House & Pandit Ji's at Gwyer Hall were intellectual addas,too. We hung around there just 'busy doing nothing'! Good 'old days of youth'? That's not the" Sondesh" we want to spread

The post shared by Tharoor on his official Twitter profile shows a thread started by Parminder Singh. "If two guys fight over a tandoori naan, is it violence or 'naan-violence'?" read the simple yet witty tweet. It was followed by several funny answers with some generous dollops of puns like "Naan violence is part of our kulcha".
