Awesome! It happens only in India!

BANGALORE, INDIA: Little more than an hour ago, some random Twitter enthusiast decided to start listing out things that are typical Indian in nature. Little did he/she know that it would become the most popular topic on Twitter which beats every other trend in the world, and making every possible Twitter account holder participate resulting an onslaught of every possible thing from Ranbir Kapoor to Rasagullas:

CyberMedia News did a close monitoring of the trending topic and found the refresh rate to be a whopping 500 entries every minute. And here are some of the hilariously innovative ‘desi’ references we found worth mentioning;

‘How idlis are sold in delhi and parathas in Chennai’ - Diversity personified

MMS Clips – Infamous but famous nevertheless

‘Mere paas maa hain’ – personifies Bollywood, and its mass appeal

An entire family on a Bajaj scooter – The Indian middle class. Content and raring to go

Zero – Ironically, the zero was 100% made in India

Dabbawalas – From Mumbai, they will soon be spreading their wings into Bangalore corporate offices

Beer bars – The perfect blend of Sharab, Shabab and kabab

Lassi – Punjabi coolant

Dry day – in other words, ‘behave yourself’ day

Horn ok please – Truckers’ anthem

Shaktimaan – India’s own superhero

Rakhi Sawant - … and her Swayamwar

This never-ending list is currently also seeing typically Indian phrases like ‘Yeh andar ki baat hain’, and ‘What’s your good name?’ to certain words like Dicky, and ice gola, that are understood only in India.

Tweeters also tried to link up 'Indianess’ to their respective jobs. For instance, an advertising professional listed ‘Cute pugs that build an entire brand’ while a software engineer chose not to forget that ‘Tech Support’ is quite Indian in nature.

What is interesting to note is also the fact that the online youth of the country have not forgotten the likes of Mahatma Gandhi, democracy and the freedom movement, but have very modern notions of India that range from ‘Outsourcing’ to “Wi fi”.

The impromptu movement is best summed up in AnjaanRJ’s words, “Wonders how #AwesomeIndianThings started trending!! And Obviously is very happy and believes this is why India is Awesome! :)

Jai ho, India.
