GST launching, Virat Kohli and Anushka’s wedding, Triple Talaq verdict, Manushi Chhillar winning Miss World 2017, Padmavati row, ISRO breaking records, Gurmeet Ram Raheem verdict, Aadhaar linking confusion .....
Phew!
Looking back, 2017 has been quite a roller coaster ride. So much has happened in the year that even Twitter’s new and updated 280 character limit would fall short if we were to hashtag it all.
Having trouble wrapping your head around the year that went by? We’ve got you covered. What better way to wrap up the year than a rap song?
Sit back, put on your headphones, and bounce your way to the new year!
The 2017 (W)Rap Up Song
Imma bring you everything that happened this year
2017 has been a ride, oh yeah !
It been up and down, it got me feeling kinda dizzy,
But you know how it goes, you gotta learn to take it easy!
Been reading news for so long, I really kinda hate this
Everyday on this d*mn job, it's the same s**t with the same clique.
OK let's get done with it and talk about Donald Trump
Your visa application is now a special part of his junk.
Standing up for the national anthem in movie theaters is cool.
But do we really need to force it on the people, do we need such a rule?
Now linking up your AADHAR card to everything is a must.
And India lost to Pakistan in the Champions Trophy like, what ??/
ISRO done launched a hundred and four satellites in one go/
And Dhinchak Pooja is the real deal, you're missing out if you don't know.
Protect cows, f**k human lives, why mobb lynching's alright?!
Blue Whale's the new wave, that what mind control is like.
Hash tag me too, got the world talking oppression,
Men and women getting violated in every part of the spectrum.
Manushi Chhillar is the sixth Indian who done won the Miss World.
And our women's cricket team did a great job, yea we proud of them girls.
Triple Talaq is being debated, lets see what the final word is.
But do we really need it? is there any purpose it's serving?
G.S.T is both taxation and vexation out here.
Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma done got married this year.
Now let me tell you about something personal, I really need a vacation.
This 9 to 5 logging in and out here, got me losing my patience.
Maybe I need some therapy, get drunk or maybe do both.
Rather Imma just drop an album, book shows and then do a tour.
Imma bring you everything that happened this yea,r
2017 has been a ride, oh yeah !
It been up and down, it got me feeling kinda dizzy,
But you know how it goes, you gotta learn to take it easy!
