Cricket was, surprisingly, still on a lot of minds as the first T20 international, Australia versus India, kicked off. The game didn't make many happy. As Harshad Apte put it: 'Team India has befuddled critics who are now wondering whether T20 is to blame for our Test performance or if it is the other way round.' In AmreekanDesi's words: 'The good thing is India can't lose by an innings.' Raj Waghray weighed in with this: 'So what if it is T20, we will still not bat the 20 overs.' And from James Macpherson: 'T20 is for people who don't mind a smattering of cricket with their pop songs, dancers, fire show, group singing and Adams Family theme music.'Out of luck
For reasons unknown, the words 'Hi February' clogged timelines for a while as people welcomed the first day of the month. There were some voices of sanity though, like Nien Nunb who tweeted: 'I bet people who type Hi February and Bye January actually expect the month to respond. Morons.' And Tim Roberts: 'Hi February is trending. If you feel the need to say hello to a month, your life must be desolate, desperate and over.'
The last word
From filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma: 'I pray to all Gods so as to not take a chance on which God will be up there.'
