Social media has made communication easier for people. Through various platforms one can also reach out to their favourite actors, singers, or even authors. A class 10 student did something similar but not to express their love for author Preeti Shenoy’s work. The student texted her asking her to help with their homework. The author took to Twitter to share the text and also her reply to it. And, the post has left people chuckling.
