The meme creators had a great year in 2017. Like the comedian KunalKamra said, there is no shortage of content in our country. Almost every week, either the politicians or celebrities spew up a comedy.

There was a time in 2017 when you could turn your head, without bumping into KanganaRanaut and Hritik Roshan washing their laundry in public. But Kangana’s interview to AajTak provided memes to sustain a whole community.

Priyanka Chopra’s Ralph Lauren dress which she wore to the Met Gala sent the viral world into giggles. It was compared to the froth on a cup of tea. She was also a subject of meme when she met Modi, again due to her dress.
Like they say, comedy is tragedy in disguise. It is a sad state when there are more memes than memories. Ache din are here, but for the cynics. Hope 2018 provides poorer fodder for the meme lovers.
