Millions of Indians went crazy over micro blogging site Twitter on a seemingly dull Monday afternoon as the topic #AwesomeIndianThings all of a sudden began trending, and went on to become the number one Trending Topic in a span of 30 minutes!

Needless to say Indians bored at work or even at home were entertained as hundreds of Tweets appeared every 10 seconds, detailed with things that are #awesome in India. Some folks rooted for cricket demi God Sachin Tendulkar, some tweeted about delicious food items like Paani Poori and Vada Paav, others took names of famous Indian authors like RK Narayan and even Chetan Bhagat, who apparently started the topic a few days ago. Some mentioned Sardar Jokes, Santa-Banta, Mehendi, and even the number ‘Zero’ which was invented in the country.

Movie buffs had quite a time tweeting famous lines like ‘Mere Paas Maa Hai’, or even popular songs like ‘Emotional Atyachaar’, or even Bollywood biggies Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh, Aamir and Salman Khan. Goes without saying, Rajnikanth was the most popular name mentioned in the celeb list. From what we noticed ‘Amul – the Taste of India’, ‘Cutting Chai’ and ‘Indian Women’ were tweeted the most number of times.
