Remember a few weeks back Amitabh Bachchan threatened to quit Twitter and lost his cool when his number of followers went down . Shah Rukh Khan became the most followed Indian celebrity on Twitter. Thankfully, the superstar who is pretty active on social media stayed on after venting out on Twitter.

Remember a few weeks back Amitabh Bachchan threatened to quit Twitter and lost his cool when his number of followers went down . Shah Rukh Khan became the most followed Indian celebrity on Twitter. Thankfully, the superstar who is pretty active on social media stayed on after venting out on Twitter.
But if you thought Big B's love-hate relationship with micro-blogging site is over. Then, you are wrong. Just like most of the Twitter user, Big B also has an issue with its restricted character count. Although they increased from 140 characters to 280, Bachchan Senior feels it's still not enough. Big B took to Twitter and shared a few versus dedicated to the 'blue bird'. He wrote, " few verses to Twitter 'blue bird' .. samajhne waale samajh gaye hain .. na samjhe wo .. ये नील

Read the full poem here:
ये नील चिड़ी देती न्योता ,
सीमित शब्दों में व्यक्त करो ,
पद चिन्हों पे चलनें वालों ,
संख्या को और बढ़ावा दो ।
कुछ निजी लिखा , कुछ व्यंग किया ,
चित्रों आदर्शों से, श्रिंगार हुआ ,
अनुयायीयों की भी संख्या में ,
परिवर्तन चित्रित, नित हुआ ।
अन्य दिग्गज, महानुभाव, प्राणी ,
कथानक इसके प्रकट हुए ;
संख्या उनकी पीछे थी , पर ,
सदभाव रहा , प्रशंसा थी
इक दिन अचानक संख्या में,
बढ़ोती कम घटोती थी !
(वजह)
प्रवक्ता उस चिरैया के , बोले घोंसले को स्वच्छ किया ,
बहु अन्य आमंत्रिक जननों का , दुरुपयोग कहा, पकड़ा गया ।
ए नील चिरैया हमको क्या , तुम मूर्ख सदा समझती हो ;
अन्य जननें बढ़ते गए, वहीं, निज प्राणी को थिर रखती हो ?
Data क्या हमरा न भाया , जानो, FB का पोल खुला !
कहीं तुमहरे साथ ऐसा न हो , तुम समझ समझ के, सोच लो !!
हम सज्जनों पे तुम कृपा करो,
ईमान तुम्हारा ख़तरे में
जिन विश्वासों को तुमने सम्मान दिया ,
उनपर तो चलना सीख लो !!
~ अमिताभ बच्चन
Big B even wrote on his blog, " For them that have understood the rather blatant inner motive of the poem are true lovers of the Ef and poetry .. for them that have not .. go join Twitter !! it has been a while .. and this was playing on my mind for long .. best to put it in words and express .. if understood, fine .. if not understood, sublime !!"
