Tharoor posted a viral screenshot of a series of tweets posted back in 2020. Among the those who shared the posts is Parminder Singh, who wrote, “If two guys fight over a tandoori naan, is that violence or naan-violence? #NaanSenseTweet,” he tweeted. Keeping the use of pun intact, another Twitter user replied, “Naan violence is a part of our kulcha.” To which, a third chimed in “Lassi who wins.”
Tharoor shared the screenshot with a pun-tastic twist of his own. “This was exactly what St Stephen’s was like when I was there in the early 1970s! People spent hours in repartee of this nature. But we didn’t have @Twitter to immortalise our bon mots. (On this exchange, as a Southie, I would rice to the occasion, provided some-bar wasn’t there.)” he tweeted.

Singh also reacted to Tharoor’s share and wrote, “Thanks for Tweeting this Shashi. Not just Stephen’s, repartees like this were a DU rasam. Though I was there at a different time would have loved to spar with you idli.” To which, the Congress leader wittily replied, “It’s never too lait… but for now yeh coffee hain.”
