6 Twitter Hashtags That Prove Indians Love A Creative Challenge
Every once in a while you see a hashtag so imaginative it&rsquos just impossible to not contribute. #MerePaasMaaHai would probably have trended for weeks after Deewar released. #TheNationWantsToKnow never fails to put a smile on our faces and going by the trend it looks like this hashtag aint going out of fashion.
There¡¯s something about hashtags that just screams out ¨C come on say something interesting and join the trend. But you seldom do. Preferring instead to watch from the stands. But every once in a while you see a hashtag so imaginative, it¡¯s just impossible to not contribute. Twitter erupts in a collective creative catharsis and ideas flow to create something wonderful. So memorable that you remember the hashtags even months later. Here are a few examples of such hashtags that caught the nation¡¯s imagination
1. #ThingsIndianMomsSay
If Twitter existed in the 70¡¯s, #MerePaasMaaHai would probably have trended for weeks after Deewar released. Coming a close second in the list of mommy hashtags is #ThingsIndianMomsSay. Indian moms are unique and what they say can often become material for great humour.

5. #TheNationWantsToKnow
From the frivolous to the profound, this hashtag never fails to put a smile on our faces and going by the trend it looks like this hashtag ain't going out of fashion for a long time!
#TheNationWantsToKnow why it's called Newshour when it has no news and goes on for more than an hour.
