Shortly after the
Sydney hostage siege, in an
inspirational show of religious tolerance Australians started trending the
hashtag #illridewithyou over twitter globally, thereby declaring their
solidarity with Muslims and other religions who maybe
worried that they might be targeted because of their religious attire.
Motivated by this
online movement, Salman Khan fans across India resorted to tweeting their own
version of it '#illrideonyou'.
Everything looked nice & beautiful till the nation realized they meant it
quite literally.
"It was a very
logical thing to do, if you ask me.As Indians we seek to make our mark globally.
Be it films, sports or business. A hashtag dedicated to spread the message of
goodness, peace & drunken driving escapades was the least we could do for
him" said Ramesh, a diehard Sallu fan fondly known as @Chinkaras4LyfBitches
on Twitter.
Hashtags have often served
as a reliable
medium of social change.The hashtag #illrideonyou came as a refreshing change to
the current trending topics. Since the last few days the nation was busy
passionately tweeting
#3daysforLingaa,#2daysforLingaa & #1dayforLingaa #JesusDiedForYourSinsIWillDieForMyThalaiva.
The nation
wholeheartedly agrees Salman has always taken very active interest in enabling
social change through various mediums be it his NGO Being Human or for that
matter 'Jai Ho' film in which Bhaiiiii singlehandedly solved more social evils
than 3 seasons of Satyamev Jayate put together.
''You tell me the Big
Bang explosion was a lie. I'll believe you. You tell me Advani is the only
surviving soul who actually saw the dinosaurs getting extinct.I'll still believe
you. But never ever ever dare to call Sallu anti social. Bet you didn't get an
invite to Arpita Khan's wedding. No wonder you're bitching about him '' said
Amit before jumping into an impromptu 'Jumme ki raat hai' dance sequence.
Even though such
positive vibes were generated with this pro Sallu campaign, there were certain
sections of society who strongly opposed it.Blueline bus owners association
which got banned from operating their buses on Delhi's roads few years back
were strongly optimistic that the hashtag #illrideonyou should have been used
to relaunch their deadly bus services.
In an alternate
universe where even Dino Morea is looking forward to relaunch his film career
as witnessed in his 'Happy New Year' film cameo, are equally
optimistic of the Blueline buses coming back in business in 2015.

In which case do allow me to crack a few #YoDikraSoFat jokes. Any resemblance to anyone, living or
dead is purely coincidental just like how blonde babes seem to pop up out of
thin air in Punjabi music videos.
