Shashi Tharoor posted a photo and thanked the couple on Twitter
London:
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor was faced with a vexing issue while in London recently. On Saturday, Mr Tharoor found it close to impossible to book a cab for himself outside the British Library, causing him to wait outside the building for over 45 minutes. It was then that he ran into a Bangladeshi couple who requested Mr Tharoor for a selfie and then helped the MP by booking a cab for him.
Sharing the anecdote alongside a selfie with the couple, Mr Tharoor revealed that they were out in the city “celebrating their first wedding anniversary.” In a tweet, Mr Tharoor said, “Waited 45 minutes outside British Library for a cab as Saturday-night traffic whizzed by. A helpful young Bangladeshi couple, out celebrating their first wedding anniversary, stopped by for a pic and solved my problem by summoning an Uber. Thanks Irfat and Azmain!”

One curious Twitter follower also asked Mr Tharoor about a device that he is seen wearing in the photo, attached to a chain around his neck. Responding to the user’s query, Mr Tharoor said that he was wearing “an Air Tamer — a negative ionsier/air purifier.”

Mr Tharoor also shared an image with five female students who were working at the Taj London. Sharing an image with the students, Mr Thaoor said, “The amazing JLF Litfest reception at the Taj London featured five young students from Kerala all doubling up as servers to finance their studies. Thanks for your outstanding service and all the best, Vandana, Aaliya, Anjali, Shaithya & Juliet! Malayalis rock everywhere!”
