On his 140th Anniversary, the netizens (me included) all over the world are united to make Gandhi a trending topic with their tweets. We all succeeded though for a very short time but am sure as the day progresses it will make its way back.
Good to see technology bringing Indians together, from all over the world (and not just Indians) on this day to pay their respect to the Mahatma.
Lots of tweets with Gandhi's quote, requests from making "#Gandhi" the numero uno trending topic, few tweets that do not agree to Gandhian philosophy, few trying to get to know Gandhi more.
Some interesting one's are where Shashi Tharoor says "Gandhiji said"Work is Workship" & we enjoy holiday on his birthday. He wld hv wanted us to work harder today"
I might not agree to that.Holiday necessarily doesn't mean no work. However I do think that declaring b'days as national holidays doesn't make sense in a democracy.
And Chetan Bhagat's "making #gandhi a trending topic is not important. making him and his values a part of your life is."
I might agree with him but I am also of the opinion that atleast this unites us all again and is the latest trend of showing our respects.
And loved Googles tribute to Gandhi with its Google-Doodle.
