Gul-ly, gul-ly mein shor hain...
I’m not sure if @GulPanag is the first Indian celebrity to sign up for Twitter. Some of the high-profile techies & bloggers are also celebrities in my eyes. But ask an average Indian, and he/she is more likely to know about Gul Panag. Anyway, that is not the point I’m trying to make here.
When you usually see an A-list Bollywood celeb signing up for Twitter, you expect those mundane, good-for-nothing updates (read my plucking mangos post) and that air of smugness in the language. Gul is nothing like that.
She replies to ordinary people (She replied to me! How more ordinary can you get?), attends geeky events when invited by users, speaks flawless Hindi (participating in silly #hindi memes), rides a Bullet (and other two-way or multi-way discussions of her passions) and tries her best to please everyone who talks to her.
And everything, with the humility & eagerness of an ordinary person. (No, not my kind of ordinary. The other good ordinary).
Your thoughts?
