Remember Dalgona coffee? The trend of making whipped coffee dominated social media in March 2020. Then we had the ‘Safe Hands’ call by WHO that asked everyone to wash their hands for at least 20 seconds. Quarantine Pillow challenge and Binod just followed. The last year-and-a-half has seen a lot of trends float on social media and the latest one is ‘#CrushTwitter’.

#IAmSoIndian
