It’s a busy morning, and bee’s got the unsparing ‘I got hit by a yellow bus’ hangover-headache. ‘Oh! I woke up on the wrong side of the hive’ could make for the most illogical excuse to ward off small-talk sessions, but Funky Monkey comes with a bag of horrible memories from ‘what happened last night at the Bee Err Bar’.

There’s a video of bee acing the ‘condom snorting challenge’, a new viral internet challenge, but that’s not all. It may suffer the brunt of donning the anti-national tag while sharing almost a hundred tweets that took a dig at the current government with a hashtag, Happy Jumla Diwas! But, mind you, bee’s not alone:

The Congress took a dig at the centre on April Fool’s Day saying: The Modi government has created 200 crore jobs and now aliens from Mars are also working in India. Using the hashtag, it further said: The Ganges has been rid of all its pollution... you can now clearly see PM Modi’s picture in its clean waters.

Twitterati followed suit soon after:

Bhakts in 2014 - modi will finish corruption

2016 - demonetisation will eradicate corruption

2018 - it is people’s responsibility to fight corruption, modi alone can’t do anything! #HappyJumlaDiwas

#HappyJumlaDiwas my fellow Indians. Acche Din are here!

Acche Din = Poor & middle class stand in long queues, while the rich walk out of the back of the bank with our money & fly abroad.

Our 56” chowkidar meanwhile distracts us with one more vacuous speech.

Mitron celebrate #HappyJumlaDiwas and see how Sabka sath sabka vikas works! Let’s fight corruption together

While Indians were busy celebrating Jumla Diwas, WhatsApp rolled out ‘Change Number feature in its android beta update that will enable users to migrate their data to a new number. Facebook has announced that it has started fact checking photos and videos to reduce hoaxes and fake news while Snapchat trolled FB with April Fool’s Russian Bot filter. Amidst all this, a video showing optical illusion has gone viral. The bee had been beaten black and yellow for picking up a fight with Plotter Otter discussing “right to privacy”. But that didn’t hurt as much as the news of SC diluting ST SC Anti-Atrocities Act did. The result of this private war is that the Centre has filed review petition on SC judgment on ST SC Anti-Atrocities Act. Punjab class 12, 10 CBSE Boards postponed over Bharat bandh.

The fool’s paradise

While Mumbai Police officers donated blood, tweeting it was a wise thing to do on the occasion of April Fool’s Day. UP police on Sunday trolled criminals with a tweet on April Fool’s day. The force tweeted a picture featuring a number of iconic Bollywood stars, who have portrayed prominent villainous roles, where their characters have openly mocked and outfoxed the police force. The caption reads: Wishing April Fool’s day to all such cocky criminals!

But, Chetan Bhagat takes the cake:

Wish we could give you a better video-jibe to punctuate this Internet madness, but all we have for you is a Walmart guy playing the guitar—It’s also our way of saying all is well that ends well. The bee won’t ever know the entire story of what really happened, but Funky left it with a song by the Beatles: “Let it be...”
