A few days ago, Zubaan had run a twitter contest, inviting tweets with the hashtag ‘goodindiangirl’. Funny, quirky, honest, random. There were dozens of responses and the ones that appealed most to us won free copies of the book and t-shirts. There were others that we liked just as much, but could not agree on. Here is a list of tweets. The ones we can still find on our TLs anyway.
If there are more you know of, or something you’d like to add to the list, go ahead and do it. The comments space beckons.
