The fated Bangla New Year celebrations injects the air with joie de vivre. People strutting about with garlands of flowers in their hair and around their wrists – the air is heavy with festivity. Still, Boishakh really wouldn’t be as enjoyable without your social media pinging with these comical 6 people.
Shubho Happy New Year
When Happy New Years and Boishakh have a baby, you get the simple yet profound phrase “Happy Bangla New Year”. Eloquently expressing the celebratory spirit of Boishakh, be sure to thank the thoughtful individual with a blatant straight face in commemoration of New Years coming twice a year!
To The Patriot Buzzkill
Instead of joining in the fun, this person takes it upon themselves to launch an agenda against the propaganda of Boishakh! Phrases like “eita Bangali shomaj e manai na”, “Boishakh ekhon bikrito (tainted)” jumps out from Mr/Ms Buzzkill’s lengthy status update. Take a breather, and participate in the merriment. Don’t be a buzzkill.
The Social Justice Warrior
Boishakh usually sees an unprecedented surge of crowds. Lurking heroically behind the screens, the Social Justice Warrior denounces these gatherings deeming them a cesspool of unjust behavior. Like the eye of Sauron he silently watches and then takes to social media to unleash an epic rant – sadly in vain.
Shubho Valentine’s?
For starry-eyed love struck couples, Boishakh is infused with the unyielding romance of harp-playing baby cherubs. Dressed in cute matching attires, the lovebirds will be seen huddled close together on any cubic centimeter of available space – snapping selfies every nanosecond. Shubho Valentine’s (?)
Timeline Tirade
Brace yourselves for the storm of social media updates. A sea of similar selfies will populate your timeline – with just enough angle change to make it look different. Be sure you will know what they had for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Unfollow these individuals for the day, to keep your timeline from being hijacked.
