Whether it is brands creatively using #FingerPointEmoji to dish out relatable memes, the police department savagely trolling drug peddlers or desi junta just sassily roasting themselves, everyone is stepping up their Twitter game. So much so that one can spend hours marvelling at the sarcastic and relatable tweets online.
People poke fun at celestial events, celebrate festivals, comment on the weather and even turn tragic situations into jokes and memes. Because what is life without a bit of humour, right?
