Natraj and Apsara pencils: Viral Tweet

The tweet by Ayush Kolhe mentioned that both Apsara and Natraj pencils are brands owned by the same company. The brands are owned by Hindustan Pencils. Twitter users had a hard time believing this as the 90’s kids had always considered the two brands as competitors. Apsara, with its “Extra marks for good handwriting” tagline, had them consider it as the 'better' pencil.

Some of the netizens said there this was unbelievable whereas some commented that this feels like a 'breach of trust'. Some also blamed the year for constantly bearing bad news. The quoted tweets also had some funny GIF reactions. It is evident from the reactions how people always thought the two were rival brands and not from the same company. Another tweet said, “Free choice is an illusion.” The most common reactions were – “my childhood has been a lie” and “my life is a lie” as people’s bubble of what they had thought for these years burst.
