Author and columnist Shobhaa Dee on Monday triggered a Twitter storm after criticizing India's disappointing run in the 2016 Rio Olympics so far.
"Goal of Team India at the Olympics: Rio jao. Selfies lo. Khaali haat wapas aao. What a waste of money and opportunity," she tweeted.
Social media lost no time in responding to her and here are some of the best ones.

. @DeShobhaa you are a stupid human and a terrible waste of oxygen. I'm not even trolling you. I'm genuinely asking you to stop thinking.

Looks like Shoba De is following the Trump/Ann Coulter model of staying in the limelight - make unwarranted nasty remarks!

Loving how one tweet by @DeShobhaa has made all the cynics into such glowing optimists.
