Earlier, Shashi Tharoor‘s profound use of the English language and his tendency to throw large and difficult words in everyday conversation were what made him ideal meme material. But now, a picture of him celebrating Onam has sparked a meme-fest online.
A few days ago, during the festival of Onam, Shashi Tharoor posted a picture of himself smashing a coconut at a temple.
Have a look at his tweet here:
And then offered a “Niramala” at the Elevanchery Bhagavathy Kshetram a few minutes from my ancestral home (where I also smashed a ritual coconut & prayed to the Naga gods worshipped by all Nairs). #Onam blessings to all especially those suffering in these troubled times. pic.twitter.com/2rJuKVPEHl
