A short while ago, into the relative calm of Twitter, someone set off fireworks with the news that the leading cause of India's ear-related problems, Arnab Goswami, has quit Times Now.
As reported by The News Minute, the Editor-in-Chief and President of Times Now and Economic Times resigned from his post and is looking to start his own venture. The news has shaken the very core of Indian Twitteratis foundations because no Arnab MEANS NO JOKES MEANS NO RETWEETS MEANS NO FOLLOWERS.
Frantic at the loss, Twitter's doing what it does the best: crack jokes. Has he really quit? Will he really, truly no longer bully the guests he calls and play judge-jury-audience at the top his lungs? Is this truly happening? They want to know, and frankly, so do we.
Arnab Goswami 'resigns' from Times Now.

This is actually bad news. Now, we could have Times Now, as well as Arnab's own channel! #ArnabGoswami #ArnabResigns
