As the name suggests, the advice is to hug cows and not your… Valentine! This has been a hot topic among the social media users this week. Many users pointed out something very important. What about taking consent from the cows before hugging them? A netizen even tweeted “if Feb 14 is Cow Hug Day, then Feb 15 should be Free Hospitalisation Day as chances of people getting kicked by the cows are high. One meme also had a cartoon on Cowtanic, like a version of Titanic but Jack is hugging a cow. The buzz around the Grammys The internet was buzzing with The Grammys for pretty much the better half of this week. And the biggest talking point was Beyonce getting snubbed in the Album of The Year category. Harry Styles winning over Beyonce and the speech he gave right after was also much talked about on the internet. There was one particular line that he said that tipped people off the most. He said "This doesn't happen to people like me very often." Beyonce fans on the internet were so outraged that she did not win. Many even pointed out that only 11 Black artists have won Album of the Year in the entire history of the Grammys.

She had shared how when she was just 19, her then publicist had advised her to sleep with Leo, who was 30 years old then.“Tu” vs “aap” debate on desi twitter The debate started when a woman was ranting on Twitter about how strangers in Bombay would address you as ‘tu’ and how unacceptable she thought that was. And then there was a whole debate on whether addressing someone as ‘tu’ is endearing or whether it’s respectful. And also a Delhi-Mumbai debate on Delhi people using ‘aap’ more. If you’re listening and you’re not very savvy with Hindi, these are both Hindi words for addressing someone. But whereas ‘aap’ is more formal and respectful, ‘tu’ is more colloquial.Twitter Blue launched in India Twitter’s Blue Subscription that guarantees blue tick is now launched in India.
