@Ohfakenews– “Men all over india were seen buying packs of GOLDFLAKE outside Gold shops. Happy Dhanteras.”
@doctoratlarge– “Happy Dhanteras to 20% Indians – for the rest it will be Dhan-taras as usual”
Surprise! Surprise!! Celebrity couple Selena Gomez and Justin Beiber broke up. Now, this one was sure to raise eyebrows:

@MixedGirlBarbie– “Selena and Justin broke up? I don’t know how I can possibly continue with life as I know it. #sarcasm”
With the festive season’s onset Bollywood seems to be set in a race to get most viewers. Taking in the sensitivity of this time, trailer of Salman Khan starrer Dabangg 2 were released today. Here are a few reactions:

A few days after the Guatemala earthquake, Myanmar was hit by seismic activity measuring 6.6 on Richter scale. Tweeples sent their best:
