Making sense of the good, bad and often strange trending topics online

More proof that fact is stranger than fiction: A leopard and Hema Malini became trending topics after the former strayed into the latter's bungalow. While one smart alec suggested it may have done so for 'a sip of purified water,' popular talking head Suhel Seth said: 'Leopard strays into Malini's bungalow. Dharmendra demands his name and vows to remove his spots!' It's easy to see why his opinions on all things matter.

What are you reading?
For some reason, the hashtag 'less interesting books' prompted folks to come up with titles guaranteed never to move off bookshelves. These included Harry Potter and the Chamber of Commerce, Alice in Greenland, The Hitchhiker's Guide to Adelaide and, my favourite, The Grapes of Slightly Upset.

A difficult love story
If Justin Bieber decides to marry current girlfriend Selena Gomez, I predict a hard time for Twitter servers. They must have been sorely tested by fans already after photographers of the two stars kissing while on vacation were made public. The images did not make Bieber's female fans happy. One of them, making her intentions clear by using the handle 'Selenaiswrong' tweeted: 'I don't think they match!' If I were Selena, I'd beef up
security.

The last word
I'm not sure why cricketer Yuvraj Singh is on Twitter. Consider one of his latest updates: 'I was watching salt guys off to bed now goodnight (sic).' Thanks to his complete disregard for grammar and punctuation, I was compelled to assume he fell asleep after spending quality time with a mineral. I do know why Shobhaa De is on Twitter. It's so she can share interesting messages, like this one for Bipasha Basu: '2 Gucci bags, 8 pairs of shoes and a fine of just 12,000? Tell us where you shop, Bips. The best discounted goodies ever. Even if it's last season's maal!'
