Making sense of the good, bad and often strange trending topics online
ADVERTISEMENT
I don't know who Amrita Pursnani is, but she had a valid point to make with this tweet: 'We already have opposition parties here with Anna for the Lokpal Bill and Baba Ramdev against it. Let the battle begin.' And it does seem like a battle, considering efforts to draft a bill acceptable to both the government and civil society activists appear to be going nowhere.
Ismail please
Composer Ismail Darbar continued to generate goodwill a good 48 hours after attacking A R Rahman. According to someone called Nishanth: 'The general consensus todayu00a0-- and we don't need Anna Hazare to go on a fast for thisu00a0-- is that Darbar is a moron.'u00a0Kapil Sewani had this: 'Santa and Banta went to a bar. Ismail Darbar says AR Rahman bought the Oscar. Joke ends.' I didn't understand that one either.
Back in the day
'First Job' became a trending topic, compelling people to list everything from 'working at age 10 for a factory that manufactured sweet boxes' to 'checking Facebook regularly.'u00a0 Someone spoke for a lot of us by describing her first job as 'short, underpaid but memorable.' And there was this, from Soumalya: 'The only thing better than your first job is your first resignation.' To each his own.
The last word
Actress Sonam Kapoor isn't particularly pleased with the media at the moment. In her words, 'some publications don't report news anymore. They hire writers who write fiction.' Madhur Bhandarkar was probably annoyed at someone too, which may explain this: 'If people can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague!'
