London does a thumka

It's wedding time and I'm missing it! But to help me be there in spirit at the Sangeet-Cocktail party a few of my friends came to the rescue and we made London dance to the Queen's tunes to celebrate her wedding. 

Piccadily Circus, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, the red telephones, souvenir shops, street artists, the London Eye, the Houses of Parliament, Queen Elizabeth Tower and many more showed their thumkas and dance moves!

Have a magical wedding and the best life you two!

Hashtag disasters I can't cope with

If you don't know how to use hashtags, please don't use them. I mean it is just silly to do so. They don't get activated, you miss the whole point of why they are there, what their purpose is and it just looks daft!

1. #Don't#Use#Hashtags#Like#This#Without#Leaving#Spaces#Between#Different#Hashtags

2.Writing.Words.In.A.Line.One.After.Another.With.A.Full.Stop.After.Each.Word.Will.Not.Serve.The.Purpose.Of.A.Hashtag.So.Please.Stop.Doing.This. Also including special characters like $, %, & will render your hashtag invalid.

3.Punctuations ruin hashtags. #Don't #Hashtag #Don't or #You're or similar contractions. Well, don't hashtag contractions ever actually! Why would someone want to search tweets or posts tagged with #Don't in the first place!

4. #If #You #Use #More #Than #Three #To #Four #Hashtags #In #A #Post #Like #I #Just #Did #You #Will #Clearly #See #That #It #Turns #Into #Spam Why not write a full sentence instead?

5. #Spellin #Wordz #Incorrectly #In #A #Hashtag #Is #Da #Mozt #Ridikulus #Thing #U #Can #Do

6. #Spelling #Amazing #As #Amazzzziiinnnggggggg #In #A #Hashtag #Is #More #Ridiculooouusssss #Than #Number #5. #Above

7. Not every post or tweet needs a hashtag. Remember, you are allowed to write normal sentences too.

8. A post or tweet such as this makes me want to scream - " I love chocolates #Chocolates #Love " Couldn't you have simply stated - " I #love #chocolates "

If you have come across anymore #Hashtag disasters, comment and share the joy!
