The famous Shiv Ramdas Twitter thread about his brother in law getting quite a bit more than a bucketload of rice…

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/01/03

Since archiving Tweets has become so much harder over time, and Threadreaderapp not having the complete thread either, here are some links for your enjoyment:

  1. [Wayback/Archive] Shiv Ramdas on Twitter: “OMG my brother in law, the gift that never stops giving, was tired of being sent to get rice every day so he decided buy in bulk, talked to the shop about it, wires got crossed, now there is a literal TRUCK FILLED WITH RICE outside the house and my sister is losing her shit lmfao”
  2. [Wayback/Archive] Shiv Ramdas Traing To Rite Buk on Twitter: “If you have never heard a woman destroy a man with one sentence 25 times in a row you should meet my sister. She’s terrifying rn, I’m on the phone and I’m scared and she isnt even angry at me lol”
  3. [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @nameshiv on Thread Reader App – “To clarify, this is India so when I say truck, I don’t mean SUV, IT IS A LITERAL LORRY FILLED WITH RICE” … (which has the read of the thread)

Then some direct links that stitch most of the thread together on Twitter itself:

  1. [Wayback/Archive] Shiv Ramdas on Twitter: “OMG my brother in law, the gift that never stops giving, was tired of being sent to get rice every day so he decided buy in bulk, talked to the shop about it, wires got crossed, now there is a literal TRUCK FILLED WITH RICE outside the house and my sister is losing her shit lmfao”
  2. [Wayback/Archive] Shiv Ramdas on Twitter: “First however, Manu obv has to talk to driver again. Manu seems to be a talker, he has lots to say to everyone. Still nothing to say to me though. Hey Manu, nobody likes a snob, you know. I’m a person too.” …
  3. [Wayback/Archive] Shiv Ramdas on Twitter: “Final terms: 23 bags, one bottle Old Monk, one bottle scotch*. Everyone is exhausted. * Lorry driver is the best fucking negotiator of the lot”
  4. [Wayback/Archive] Shiv Ramdas Traing To Rite Buk on Twitter: “OK, I just realised HOW MUCH this has blown up, JFC you ppl are somethin else please never change. Oh, if you enjoyed how I tell stories, I’m telling some of my own and doing questions here later this month, online, its free, you just need to sign up.”

Via [Wayback/Archive] Shiv Ramdas: “4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day. On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga” — Bluesky
