Congress leader and Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor’s inimitable choice of words has always impressed everyone. His rich vocabulary is impressive to say the least and his tweets often go viral for their uniqueness. Recently another one of Tharoor’s tweets went viral when he shared a recipe he received on WhatsApp for his followers. The post was about the humble desi street food ‘bhel puri’.
Tharoor said he was forwarded the photo of the recipe on Whatsapp. However, the interesting part is the photo of the recipe says it was provided by Tharoor himself. Starting with ‘exotic crispy puffed wild rice from the Western Ghats rainforest, drizzled with an aromatic salsa-verde of Rajasthani desert cilantro…’, the richly described recipe ends with the note ‘Commonly known as bhel puri’.
It also says in the end. “Got this recipe from Dr Shashi Tharoor."
Take a look:

Recently Tharoor has come up with another head-scratcher on Twitter: pogonotrophy which means the growing or cultivation of a beard. He said he learnt the word from his friend.
My friend Rathin Roy, the economist, taught me a new word today: pogonotrophy, which means “the cultivation of a beard". As in, the PM’s pogonotrophy has been a pandemic preoccupation… https://t.co/oytIvCKRJR— Shashi Tharoor (@ShashiTharoor) July 1, 2021
One Twitter user also wanted to give Tharoor a job at his soon to open restaurant. Guess what?!
