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 in aid of it are 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 origination 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:
Because #SareeTwitter & I cannot miss tweeting with this hashtag :) pic.twitter.com/VTC2ISlvoy

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 pic.twitter.com/gVIuAZ6Uco

Here are some more pictures that we found for #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 pic.twitter.com/QTb5gIMfPD
