3) Ye Bik Gae Hai Gormint
This particular line has been trending on twitter for a while now. This phrase “Bik Gae Hai Gormint” derived from aged women giving an interview regarding the situation of the country and to express her feelings towards the state of the government that she believed was sold off, this is what she said.
Ever since this line has become an internet sensation and once again, it has made its way to the top twitter trends.

4) Re-launch of nokia 3310
Nokia 3310 was one of the very few super-popular handsets that was owned by almost every cellphone user. It was the bestselling phone, and Nokia has decided to re-launch this phone with an improved design and enhanced battery life.
The new Nokia 3310’s 1,200mAh battery is good for a staggering 22 hours of talk time. According to the company, that’s ten times better than the original, which typically lasted for a little more than two hours of talk-time.

5) Oscars
Oscar Awards 2017 were held on the 27th of Feb. The vent stole the limelight like every year, but what made it a top trend was a fumble, as always. The best movie award was given to La La Land, for 5 seconds only. Yes, you heard that right! There was an error with the announcement and that was rectified by announcing the real winning movie which was “Moonlight”.
The #Oscars producers are at fault, not these two legends. They were clearly given the wrong envelope pic.twitter.com/7SLsZzFe2c

7) Edhi
Abdul Sattar Edhi, a spur for all, left this world some time back leaving examples for us to follow. In respect of Edhi’s 89th birthday, Google honored him by having him on their google interface for an entire day. It was Google that reminded the world what an important day it was.

8) LALA
This trend on twitter was too dedicated to the most happening thing of this season, Pakistan Super League. The whole hype about Shahid Afridi’s game for Peshawar Zalmi and his birthday puts Lala in the top trends. Besides Peshawar Zalmi’s defeat in 1st playoff, the only thing people expressed for afridi was love and support. Twitter is flooded with birthday wishes for Lala.

10) Karachi Kings
Karachi performed pretty sluggishly during the first few PSL matches, facing defeat one match after the other. But to everyone’s surprise, the last few matches, Karachi Kings have lifted their game. Winning one T20 after another, Karachi made its way through the playoffs to face Peshawar Zalmi in the 3rd playoff.
Thats perfect revenge Amir imad 😂👌
