Shirish Kunder was the biggest surprise of them all. Also, probably the coolest agony uncle we have had so far. In fact, thanks to his wise-cracking columns, we now have an array of comebacks reserved for occasions and whenever need be. Be it to tackle my mollahe ki aunties or my fundamentally regressive family group of distant relatives, I have Shirish to thank for the solid one-liners.
If you haven’t noticed it already, his brand of sarcasm-laced comedy is unapologetic/unabashed and honestly, we wouldn’t want it any other way!
If you don’t share the sentiment, well, let’s just say you will when we meet after the end of this. Let me take you through it…
It so happened that the news about Twitter maxing its character limit to 280 characters got to Shirish. Although he wasn’t very thrilled, he took to his handle and voiced his opinion.
If you can't be funny in 140 characters, #280characters will only make it worse.

While you could agree or disagree, I’m a little baffled at the moment because his words surprisingly, were enough to invite the anger of a classless troll. How and why?
Because a certain @Abracadabra1263 tried to diss Shirish for reasons known to him and the almighty God. He tweeted,
Even 1000 disgusting rotten rhetoric words cant enough to describe u…🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/4ZBaNhg6Xg

Confused? You’re not the only my friend.
But hey, it is Shirish we are talking about.
That’s right. Shirish drew one from his arsenal of words and launched an arrow that shut him down and dirty.

I want to say, ‘I told you so’ but instead I’m going to settle for- my respect for Shirish (and the feminist inside him) just multiplied itself. Shirishly, keep em’ coming.
