Retweeting this (not) just because of the perfect Devanagari transliteration of Henri Cartier-Bresson 🥹
Quote Tweet
फ्रांस के महान छायाकार आंरी कार्तिये-ब्रेसों (Henri Cartier-Bresson) ने गांधीजी की अनेक ऐतिहासिक छवियाँ संजोयीं थीं। कंधे पर गमछा धारे मुस्कुराते गांधीजी, बड़े चरखे के पीछे पत्र बांचते हुए और अतिथि गृह (अब गांधी स्मृति) के फाटक पर चढ़कर राष्ट्रपिता की हत्या की सूचना

हंगामा है क्यों बरपा? आज तक कुछ लोग उर्दू को हिंदी से अलग भाषा मानते हैं।

तो @ravishndtv साफ कह रहे हैं कि हिन्दी उनकी मातृभाषा नहीं है। उनके इस बयान को गंभीरता से लिया जाना चाहिए। यह तो हिन्दी के भीतर भी बांटने की कोशिश है। इस पर आपकी राय अपेक्षित है @rahuldev2 जी, @RajkishorLive जी, @VinodAgnihotri7 जी, @ajitanjum जी।

This cover lists 200+ film-related jobs that fly under the radar, incl. sweeper and snake catcher. Guess who didn’t make it to the list. 😅

Never overestimate the impact of your tweets. Or the importance of your followers. I happen to be “followed” by these four great film personalities. But it would take at least 40 times more (remember: one in 163!) to be sure that just one among them actually reads my 💩! 😅

From 16 December to yesterday, has tweeted 12 times. The average view count is just under 3 lacs (2,95,658, med=2.2). That’s about 0.6% of his followership, or one follower in 163! 🧮 At that rate, only 22 of my followers are actually reading this. 😭

Twitter’s newly introduced view counts are a humbling reminder that the vast majority of your followers don’t follow you at all. 💔

Had a similar reflex when visiting the intriguing "Après Babel, traduire" expo at in Marseilles in early 2017. Sign at museum entrance thanked the electricians/carpenters/designers/historians/photographers... but no mention anywhere of the exhibit's *translators*. Ciel.

When you have enough space to name three hair-styling and make-up artists but not the English subtitler. 🤷🏽♂️
