These Are The Funniest Tweets From Desi Twitter In 2016

Ending 2k16 on a funny note.
Twitter

2016 has been a bit of a downer, for India and for the world too. We welcomed 2k16 with open arms and big smiles, full of new dreams and hopes. But the days, weeks and months wore on and the news -- some good, some not so good and some really bad -- dimmed our initial hope and fervour.

Now the year comes to a close and everyone has just one thing to say...

And absolutely nothing worked.

Amidst all that was going on, we fell back on humour -- a crutch, a balm, a way to step back, take stock and keep marching.

Here's a set hilarious desi tweets on Twitter that kind of sum 2K16 up.
