Around 50 people have been admitted with complaints of insomnia in various parts of the country after Rajdeep Sardesai deactivated his Twitter account.

A significant number of people, over the past few years, had developed a habit of reading his goodnight tweets before going to sleep, and this sudden discontinuation of the service has disturbed their system, triggering withdrawal symptoms.

A few years ago, Mr. Sardesai learned about the growing problem of insomnia in India and around the world and how it affects normal functioning of body and mind. Shaken by the sufferings of humankind, he created a Twitter account and volunteered for the cause. Since then he had been posting goodnight tweets every night, until it was terminated on Saturday, to eradicate the menace from the society. And although the replies to his tweets do not portray the real picture, we strongly believe that his selfless gesture will earn him a Nobel Prize in Medicine someday.

However, now that the service is not available on the platform anymore, many of his followers on Twitter are looking for substitutes, and reports suggest that the sale of over the counter sleeping pills recorded an all time high last night.

We spoke to one of the patients recovering at the post traumatic stress center and he said, “When I first heard that he deactivated his account, I felt there was nothing left in my life. Who would’ve done that?”

“Done what?”

“Hack his account. I am sure you read his tweets that some miscreant had hacked his account.”

“Yes, that’s what he said, but if you apply logic…”

“Who the hell are you to apply logic? Only Rajdeep sir can do that,” he retorted.

We bade a hasty goodbye and bumped into Shekhar Gupta who was typing a tweet, “Come back @sardesairajdeep. Abuse never killed anyone. Many abusive ones greet you here & there, ask for selfies. Why take them so seriously?”

“You can just text him. I mean, now that he has deactivated his Twitter account, how is he supposed to read your tweet unless he is sitting on the server?” we inquired.

A divine smile crept across his face as he said, “What is the point of having a Twitter account if we don’t communicate our point of view to the entire world? The whole purpose of addressing a person on Twitter is to let everyone know that you are wiser than the person you are addressing.”

He then climbed a tree and put a hoarding at the top that read:

Rose is red, sky is blue.

Come back Rajdeep Sardesai, we are missing you.
