Indian Twitter on Friday joined a trend that brought many smiles in the times of COVID-19 pandemic. Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma and Snapdeal CEO Kunal Bahl also joined the trend.
Social media is a pandora box which is often a platform to ridicule one another. Outrages, hateful trends and trolls are everyday story on social media platforms, especially Twitter. However, it sometimes throws happy surprises.
Indian Twitter on Friday joined a trend that brought many smiles in the times of COVID-19 pandemic. It was about telling jokes you can't really tell. Little too confusing?
Sample some of the tweets here and you will get the hang of it.

India's young entrepreneurs also pitched (pun intended) some of the jokes. Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma also joined the trend and shared his collection of jokes. He had funny takes on some pretty insipid topics like fintech and the stock market.

We don't know how this trend started or who started it, but it has surely brought some joy to the otherwise dark world of Twitter. If you want to read more such jokes, log in to Twitter and check out #ihaveajoke trend. Or simply type "I have a joke" in the Twitter search bar.
I also have jokes to tell, but I am still writing them.
