Images posted on Twitter by Nupur Sharma and Nagma.
Twitter is a strange place indeed as netizens do end up discovering, and not to forget, inventing stuff to keep themselves occupied. The latest in the 'market' is a phenomenon called #SareeTwitter that has women posting their own pictures in pretty sarees.
#SareeTwitter has been one of the top trends since Monday and the number of tweets posted with the hashtag is only increasing. It is trending today as well, and that too, furiously, with politicians and folks from several walks of life posting their saree pictures. The reason behind the origin of #SareeTwitter hasn't been figured as yet but never mind, because we are loving the pictures.
Priyanka Chaturvedi of the Shiv Sena couldn't miss out on #SareeTwitter:
BJP's Nupur Sharma also joined the gang:
As did actress-politician Nagma:
Saree dipicts our Indian tradition and culture. It is also supposed to be known as our sexiest costume. One looks dignified , elegant, beautiful , graceful and yet can seem very appealing in it #SareeTwitter

“Nooran didn’t walk like a snake, the popular simile for women’s gait... walked like a peacock, sure footed, deliberate, proud; a walk that said: Watch me. Do not touch. Watch me, for I can whip your ass.” Peacock motif in new novel&saree #sareetwitter #theradianceofathousandsuns
