Art of Living founder and spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s recent statement that he had been offered the Nobel Prize but had refused to accept it brought out the funny side of many a Twitterati on Monday.

I was in the past offered the Nobel Peace Prize, but I had rejected it as I only believe in working and not in being honoured for my work.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (<a href="http://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/current-affairs/010516/will-never-accept-nobel-peace-prize-rejected-it-in-past-sri-sri-ravi-shankar.html">Deccan Chronicle</a>)

Sri Sri may have refused the Nobel Prize but Twitter awarded him with a bouquet of witty one-liners.
