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

Congress MP Mani Shankar Aiyar, always a reliable source of potential headline-material, became a trending topic after reportedly referring to his party as a circus.

Shiv Mishra tweeted: 'He deserves a five-year suspension for revealing the party's secret.'

Someone else pointed out that 'Aiyar would be perfect in the role of ringmaster, considering he brandishes his whip well.'

Shiva Purohit believed the MP said what he had because he 'got jealous of Kalmadi and Raja trending all the time.'

And Prayukth pointed out: 'If Aiyar is correct, no one can prosecute or harm Congress leaders, as the Wildlife Act will apply.'

All forgotten?
CWG Organising Committee chief Suresh Kalmadi's claim of suffering from dementia amused and angered many in equal measure.

Titash RC commented: 'Memory loss! I can use that drug right now, Kalmadi. There is so much I wish I could forget - like you.'

Shuvankar Mukherjee added: 'So, if anyone beats Kalmadi up in Tihar, he won't remember the name or face, right?

Let's put this theory to the test.' Mukuvacha wanted if know if Kalmadi was 'tattooing all his bank account numbers.'

And there was this, from Ravikant Dubey: 'Dementia, yet he organized the world class CWG. See how talented we Indians are.'

Living on a prayer
A number of people tweeted messages addressed to 'Dear God'. Their prayers included 'please bring the right people into my life and remove the wrong ones', 'take Justin Bieber with you and bring back Amy Winehouse', 'if you can't make me skinny, please make everyone else fat' and, my favourite: 'There are 8 planets, 192 countries, 180497 islands, 85 seas, 7 billion people and I'm single? Work on that please.'

The last word
Rahul Khanna has this particular insight to share: 'When it comes to afflictions, I've noticed ladies prefer vertigo. There's drama without phlegm or gore and the opportunity to fan oneself.'
