Breaking: 'Pranab-da to feature in 2013 Kingfisher Calendar'

Here’s what Twitter folks are tweeting about the budget and Pranabda’s speech.

Huh? Where did this come from? @Sonali1banerjee tweets: “Just come to know Mamata Banerjee quit UPA 2.”

@priyaramani finds us wanting. “Dear news organizations, if you’re live tweeting the budget you need to type faster,” she tweets.

Fast enough? Forbes editor Indrajit Gupta is a little gobsmacked. “First off the blocks: Vijay Kalantri has already mailed us his reaxs on the Budget, even before the speech ends!!,” he says on twitter.

With the news on FDI, etc, Kapil Arora thinks Pranabda needs some gratitude from Vijay Mallya. His suggestion? “Breaking news - Pranab da to feature in the 2013 Kingfisher calendar :)

Why should this bother a non-smoker like @GurmeetSingh? “Smokers taxed again #Budget2012,” he says. Oh. He must be delighted.

@Madversity comes up with his view of the budget so far and asks Pranabda for more. “Vijay Mallya budget. Testing Aviation positive. Any concessions for swimsuits?”

Meanwhile, Pranabda’s innocuous announcement of the ‘white paper on black money’ transforms the twitterati into titterati. Here’s what Ajit Ranade says. “White paper on black money. details are grey. with age they may yellow. opposition sees red. taxpayers green with envy.”

In sports news, Michael Schumacher was the fastest driverat the Australian GP practice after a long, long time. Details here.

Gaurav Kamboj is one of the cyniceratti. “Rajiv Gandhi Bharat Looto Yojna” future planning for 3G and 4G scams,” he announces, with no help from the finance minister.

Pranabda gets a hug from @deepakshenoy, though. “WoWWW! Sale of residential property exempted from capital gains if invested in equity or equipment of an SME,” he says.

@shadymumbai has a lovely sense of humour. “If you Hear the word Rajiv Gandhi many times in the budget …it’s an old Delhi Habit..Rahul Gandhi wants everyone to know who his father is…”
