Asha Bhosle’s tweets are as evergreen as her voice. The granny with the golden voice is the new entrant on Twitter, and has her Hindi and Marathi translated into English tweets by her son. She keeps it fun, tweeting about Boy George, nail cutters and zari saris.

»‘Boy George said ‘I’m your fan Asha.’ I said ‘Your makeup is beautiful. Please teach me.’’

»‘Pancham was way ahead of his times. He composed a song specially for President Bill Clinton. Monica, O My Darling. Samjhe? Bye for now.’

»‘Please give away any extra sense of humour lying around. Thanks.’

»‘Things that tire me: Security checks at airports. Once they took away my nail cutter. Imagine me threatening with a nail cutter.’

»‘US airport security has a field day with me. They can’t understand why I bleep so much. It’s the zari in the sari. I wear cotton now.’
