Elephants got more attention than a politician cum dancer today, after two wild jumbos went berserk in the city of Mysore.

While one tweeter claimed it was the animals' revenge for deforestation, another suggested that 'Mysore Elephants' could be a great name for an IPL team, one even Tipu Sultan would be proud of.
A certain Kaushal Bhandankar had a different way of looking at this story. According to him 'the elephants symbolize the two satyagrahis, Anna Hazare and Baba Ramdev, fighting against corruption.'
Still a song & dance
Speaking of the aforementioned politician cum dancer, Sushma Swaraj continued to incite all kinds of comments, a good 24 hours after video footage of her moving and shaking at Rajghat first aired.
A certain Rajiv Ramanujam said he was glad Swaraj revived dance as a protest because, 'anti apartheid protesters in South Africa danced all the time.'

Someone with the handle Social_Jockey had an unusual piece of advice: 'Mute the Swaraj dance video and listen to Munni Badnaam in slow motion. You will enjoy it.' I intend to give this a shot. You?
Time to fess up
'10 Confessions' was a popular hashtag that prompted a number of lame responses like 'I'm in college and still don't know what I'm doing with my life' and 'I really admire myself every time I look at the mirror.'
One confession I found interesting came from a Paulie Fenty: 'Twitter makes me love people I've never met and Facebook makes me hate people I know in real life.'
Also, this: 'I shamelessly watched my cousin make love on his honeymoon night. It has been awkward since then.'
The last word
The writer Chetan Bhagat helped us all make sense of televised debates in India with this tweet: 'A predictable format. Introduce issue. Personal attack 1. Personal attack 2. Argue 1 and 2. Time over.'
