Trolling was considered an art on Twitter before it was given a bad name by people who know only abusive or bullying language. If you don’t believe, you need to check out replies by a Twitter user “The-Lying-Lama” to the tweets of celeb journalist Rajdeep Sardesai.
There is no abusive language, there is no threat, and there is no obscenity. It’s all about wit, and some biting sarcasm. While “The-Lying-Lama” has a long list of replies to showcase, we bring to you some of his best ones.

By the way, it seems that the lying lama (or @KyaUkhaadLega per his twitter handle) was blocked by Rajdeep Sardesai (obviously!) but later he unblocked him. Maybe he too appreciates that it’s good trolling!
Apart from having a Twitter account, the ‘Rajdeep replier’ also has a Facebook page, but he doesn’t seem to reply with the same passion for Mr Sardesai on Facebook, yet. 😉
The lying lama’s apart being a master troll on Twitter has a day job as Chief Business officer of India’s top sports website Sportskeeda.
