Her final tweet: Looking forward to rain

As word got around, the number of her followers grew by the minute. With rapid retweets about twitter user 'netizentwo' as one of the dead passengers on the Dubai-Mangalore flight, a strange thing happened.
As one follower urged, "This girl @netizentwo deserves a posthumous following. So sweet are her tweets.
How cruel !! R.I.P....", others followed, "everyone must follow @netizentwo . this young girl lost her life in the mangalore plane crash. may her soul r.i.p."
Netizentwo was 17-year-old Harshini Poonja, who was flying home to Mangalore with her family for a wedding. Fate, however, had other plans. Harshini along with mother Manirekha, an employee of Gulf News and her father were among the 158 killed in the Air India Express flight IX-812 that crashed at Mangalore airport early Saturday morning. The aircraft plunged into a valley after overshooting the runway.
Harshini's final tweet (twitter entry) made from her mobile before she took her flight read "At the airport and blah =_= Only thing to look forward to is the rain'. After this she boarded the ill-fated Boeing 737-800, flying maximum capacity.
