Shashi Tharoor admits he made “typo” in his tweet, users say “rare occasion”
New Delhi: Indian National Congress MP Shashi Tharoor who is often known for his wordsmith skills on Monday admitted that he had made a typing error after a user pointed out his “typo”.
Tharoor who is an MP from Thiruvananthapuram often sends the internet into a tizzy by using rare and uncommon words in English.
In an unusual scenario on Monday, Tharoor made a typing error in his tweet while he was praising star Indian batsman Virat Kohli for his splendid knock against arch-rivals Pakistan on Sunday at the MCG.
“And this man is both genius & authetic hero! Utterly awesome” Tharoor wrote in his tweet tagging Virat Kohli.
A user Dr. Deepti Ruth Azariah was quick to point out the error to Tharoor. She was, however, confused and wrote “Was surprised, thinking I'd spotted a typo in a @ShashiTharoor tweet, but "authetic" is a real word and makes sense in this context.”
Tharoor however admitted that it was indeed a “typo” and that he meant to write ‘authentic’ in the tweet accidentally tying “authentic” instead.
Some of the users lauded Tharoor for admitting the mistake while also adding only he can confuse people even with typing errors and make them believe that it could mean something.
They also added that it was one of those rare occasions when Tharoor can end up making mistakes while writing a tweet in English.

Delegation requests for Karnataka HC Bench in coastal districts, hands petition to Chief Justice
Udupi: A delegation of the High Court Bench Struggle Committee met and submitted a petition to the Karnataka High Court Chief Justice Vibhu Bakhru at the Circuit House urging the opening of a High Court Bench in the coastal belt as well as a Mobile High Court Bench in Mangaluru.
MLC and convener of the Committee Ivan D’Souza, who spoke to the Chief Justice on the occasion, explained that the people of the coastal belt find it difficult to travel to Bengaluru to fight a petition in the High Court. The problem only aggravated during monsoon. D’Souza added that there was a delay in clearing the cases of Udupi, Chikkamagaluru and Kodagu districts, which was causing further inconvenience to the people.
The MLC, who pointed out that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had also shown his preference for establishing a High Court Bench in the coastal region, requested for an approval to establish a Mobile High Court Bench first.
