When Twitter wrote 2017's obituary in just five words
People can't get over what Aadhaar and GST did to them in 2017.
As the year 2017 draws to an end, people on Twitter are summing up their experiences of the year making brevity the hallmark of their descriptions. Notwithstanding the fact that this has also been the year in which Twitter relaxed its character limit from 140 to 280, twitterati stuck to #2017in 5words.
Please link your Aadhaar. Please
Link Aadhaar number to bank account, PAN card, mobile – the orders came one after another. And many people could not get over what Aadhaar going mandatory did to them. Twitter also used the opportunity to sum up its GST pain.

The wedding
Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma got married on December 11 secretly in Italy. The frenzy over this marriage, including the details of everything – from the invitation card to Anushka Sharma's bindi – made the rest of the year a lie. P.S: Zaheer Khan and Sagarika Ghatge, too, got married this year.

Nothing else existed for us this year other than Game of Thrones Season 7, no matter how it was.
