Prince Charles Landed In Delhi’s Deadly Smog But Twitter Is Killin’ It With Revenge Jokes

I don’t want to go all Shashi Tharoor on you but I hope you have all your facts right about how the mighty British oppressed and colonised us for over 200 years. And as much as I’m grateful for the things they introduced us to–like the railways and the oh-so-amazing tea–the popular catchphrase of ‘Indians and dogs not allowed’ is not lost on me!

And as it turns out, I have a pretty wide base of people keeping me company in my self-suggestive sentiment. How do I know that? Well, it’s a good thing that we stay in a connected world that now allows us to tweet up to 280 characters. Let me rephrase that…

Baat yeh hai ki Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles, the Duchess of Cornwall arrived in Delhi earlier today, as a part of their Asia tour.

Yeah. That’s not a bad camera with bad resolution.

It’s the deadly smog that has engulfed the capital and the same that has urged God knows how many people (celebrities included) to peddle a video from last year as today’s!

P.S- No judgement there!

But coming back to the point…as soon as the pictures surfaced online, Twitterverse couldn’t help but avenge their revenge. See for yourself.

Hey, it was not all dark and gloomy. There were a few who were genuinely concerned. Sample this: 

Give them masks.

So smog doesn't kill them https://t.co/Q61hZk57MD

But yeah, the numbers from the former triumphs the latter.

Now, I don’t know which side of the bridge you’re hanging from but might I say, don’t forget to put on a mask. Also, a little anulom-vilom should help.
