Good job overall Shalin! A few notes after checking out the code:

• Good touch on polishing your UI to make it more twitter branded
• Good job formatting the relative time stamp and using it correctly as a Util
• Consider using the ProgressBar indicating network requests
• Consider using Parcelable or Serializable (benefits) for model objects
• Consider adding null checks in JSON parsing for robust error handling
• Consider implementing more optional/bonus features.
• Consider adding ActiveAndroid to the Tweet and User. See the persistence guide and this other guide for more details.
