Javed Akhtar might well be one of the country's most famous lyricists, but the advent of auto-correct clearly passed him by yesterday. What else explains Akhtar's tweet on classical singer Girija Devi's demise, which read, "Girija Devi was not only a great classical sinner but a national treasurer. We are poorer without her." The post refers to Devi as a 'sinner' and 'treasurer', as opposed to 'singer' and 'treasure'.
