Making sense of the good, bad and often strange trending topics online
'Salman Khurshid talking about the price rise is like Rakhi Sawant talking about values - clueless, but acting like an intellectual.'
u00a0
That tweet by Amol Dhurve arrived in the wake of a televised debate from the Lok Sabha. Ash Dubey made this unusual observation: 'Khurshid is speaking as if he is reading The Hindustan Times, The Times of India and a rap song non-stop.'
Someone with the handle BasioMeusPuga added: 'You know what's funny? Manmohan Singh has not one, but two microphones on his bench.'
Karthik Srinivasan suggested 'a reverse tax each time the Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha is adjourned,' and there was this interesting question from Offstumped: 'How can UPA manage India's challenges of the future if, even after 11 years, it is stuck with passing the buck to NDA's past decisions?'
What growth?
One speaker who became a trending topic in the wake of the debate was Yashwant Sinha. This happened after he reportedly said 'When people in my constituency complain about their inability to afford food, am I supposed to tell them to eat the country's 8 percent growth?' A certain Jaideep reacted with this request: 'Can anyone who saw this debate share the reaction on the face of Jayanti Natrajan? I would love to see it.'
Anger management
The topic 'It gets on my nerves ...' yielded these remarks, among others: 'when people complain about every little thing', 'when people think they're better than everyone and have the right to look down on others', 'when people see a celebrity and all they do is scream like idiots', 'anti-perspirant marks on shirts' and, inexplicably, 'when you really want waffles but you've already eaten them all.'
The last word
Why Paris Hilton hasn't been offered a chance to host her own chat show yet: 'Love is free. Love everyone with all your heart always because it doesn't cost anything.'
