But when we checked with Alok on his new found popularity at the social networking space, he sounded all jovial and said, "I am not on Twitter and I got to know about all the jokes from my daughter. Initially I didn't understand why they started using my name and I got a bit scared. But later after reading the tweets I was jumping with laughter and I was absolutely thrilled. I am taking it in a very positive way. There is nothing wrong in it. It's not that they are abusing me or are against me. I take it with a pinch of salt and move on. In fact I feel they have made me smile in such a dull life."

That's the spirit, we say. So will he now join Twitter to respond to all the jokes on him to the tweeple? "No, I am happy with Facebook."

Alok, life does throw strange surprises at times, isn't it?
