Only that this time around, the outpouring of abundant love by his overenthusiastic fans was replaced by the not-so-courteous hashtag, #UnfollowSachin. It was trending almost all through the day on Twitter, by and large, unsettled by any other topics, indicating many users' disappointment over his RS nomination.

Among thousands of hate tweets, these ones with top trending pictures, stood out for their audacity and thereby pointing to the mercurial nature of our countrymen.
