Modern 84 is all Atwitter


~ Compiled by: Gaurav Bhatnagar and Punya Mishra


Sometime ago, a discussion started on the Modern84 twitter feed about what made Modern special. Here is what transpired, it all its unedited gruesome, glory. In 140 characters or less!


Organizer84bash: Wouldn’t it be cool to reflect on what made us special. Made Modern special. How about discussing this on the tweet-feed.

BigMomma @Organizer84bash, how tweet!

Cynic @BigMomma. Yuk.

RacketballDude Why don’t we use the facebook group instead

AIIMSDoc @RacketballDude fb is so 2008, I think we should stick to the yahoogroup

NicePun @AIIMSDoc @ RacketballDude  googlegroups zindabad.

Mathguru Relentlessly searching for my true self. Is it a modern thing?

BigSardar RT @Dad: So many famous people are from modern. Khushwant Singh is a modernite.

HotPhotos didn’t he write Sex, Scotch and Scholarship.

CoolGuy, @HotPhotos not sure about the scholarship part but Sex and Scotch do make him a modernite. And is that a camera in your profile pic?

HotPhotos @CoolGuy, no shit!

CoolGirl Hmmm…. @HotPhotos Is that representation of reality or wishful thinking?

SardarJourno @MrAmbiguity @CoolGuy wrote a math novel Being modernite is about sex, scotch AND scholarship!!

HotPhotos What sex? Missed something.

RT @Mom: Its the best school in the country. Will set my child on the path of true happiness.

Clueless: RT @ Parents. MHS crest shows a circle of eternity, crossed by the three elements of mind, body and the spirit.  Lets put him in modern. It will develop his mind and body. And the spirit.

@Clueless, I like the part about the spirit. Not so sure about mind and body.

BigMomma, ARRE BADMASH BACCHE, KYA SPIRIT AUR DARU ONLY TALKING ABOUT. BAHUT MARUNGI.

SilentModernite @modern84 People say modern has made me humble. Dats because I look down while speaking.

Shyboy @GirlInFront in assembly has great legs. She's a runner. A stunner. No wonder you always look down while speaking.

Shyboy @BoyBehind in assembly and I both look down @legsinfront while talking.

GirlInFront @BoyBehind in assembly. You guys wore shorts till 10th. We had no choice but look up. Who would want to look down…

IIMCEO @GirlinFront @BoyBehind That is why we always looked up. Who wanted to deal with those legs

Shyboy @IIMCEO Please don’t bring back those sad memories of cold Delhi winters in shorts!

Cooldude @IIMCEO Dats y mhs girls so confident.

Organizer84bash can we stick to the topic guys. Get off the booze and the legs. What made Modern special

StillLoveFood @Organizer84Bash, it were the bun-samosas at refugee market

RefugeeMarketGuy @StillLoveFood, you still owe me some money!

StillZonedOut, it was the bunking! Modern was special cos we could bunk for no reason at all.

BioTeacher @StillZonedOut, I remember you guys bunked saying you were visiting MrChemTeacher who was sick. That was nice of all of you.

ChemTeacher @BioTeacher, no one ever came to meet me.

BioTeacher @ChemTeacher, now you tell me.

StillZonedOut, @BioTeacher @ChemTeacher, I remember that. That was cool. So Modern.

Organizer84Bash, can we get back to the topic?

LazyBum @Organizer84Bash, I think what made us special was competition avoidance

Clueless @LazyBum Competition Avoidance? WTF?

Clueless2 @Clueless What the f*** is WTF?

LazyBum @Clueless Competition Avoidance is not getting into the ratrace, do your own thing.

ChaiPani @LazyBum, that’s why I made architectural documentaries and movies!

CuriousGal @ChaiPani is Konkona Sen Sharma Chai or is she Pani

HotPhotos @CuriousGal When I shot her, she was definitely a chai.

ChaiPani @CuriousGal, buy the DVD http://bit.ly/mutterpaneer/

LazyBum Here’s the truth, Modernite = Do your own thing

MrAmbiguity @LazyBum Modernite = Do your own thing = write a novel

TheLatestMall @LazyBum Modernite = Do your own thing = design the best mall in India!!

GirlinFront @TheLatestMall I am looking for some cool skirts
