#Trending on twitter @ All rubbish

I have never been an active player on the internet but the recent hype on the importance of new media,especially at the time of elections, forced me dwell into the all new world of Twitter.

I failed to follow the tweets and trends during the elections but caught them up on the day of the results. I initially thought that Twitter was a serious stuff. And after listening to the media debates I was convinced that whatever happens in this country, trends on twitter.

So I started following the trends. The first trend that I noticed was #thankyoumanmohansingh . I was really happy to see that people wanted to thank their 10 year long prime minister. I felt that at least at the end of his long serving to the nation, people were giving him a nice farewell. But I was wrong. Barring a few comments that catered to thanking him for the economic and development decisions taken during his tenure, rest all made a mockery of his style, his speeches and more than anything else speculations of his relationships with Sonia Gandhi. Is this the developing India about which the media was howling for so many days????

Then I felt that this was an exception and people of this country, especially the educated youth, who is supposed to create new trends, also had some serious stuffs to do. But I was proven wrong once again.

While I am writing this article the top twitter trends are:
·                                 #PervertedLines
·                                 #SantSatayeSattaJaaye
 

The first one, as the name suggests, is the brain child of all perverted minds. And all these perverts, who would have hardly have done anything for this nation are making all sorts of sexiest comment on tennis ace Sania Mirza.

The so called "Voice of Youth" is busy discussing the breast size of a Padma Shree award winner on the so called the “Generation next media".

The second trend is all the more shocking. It is criticizing the congress government but not for its policies but for jailing rape accused saint, AasaramBapu. According to this trend the congress performed disastrously in the elections because they were cursed by the hindu saints who were  jailed during the government's rule!!!!!!

Does the future belong to this "ANTI-social media"?????????????

  1. Happy (not so much) realisation, bhaiya! The trends on twitter are mostly crap except for when Sachin retires or its about some teen guy band's new music video. Our generation thinks of every wrong thing they do as being 'cool' whether it be insulting our 10 year long PM or a National awardee! It's a shame but that's how it is. :/
